What Foods Are Addictive? The List Everyone Should Know

Of course some of the most tasty foods are the ones that are bad for us and yet, incredibly addictive. Actually, some of the most addictive foods have the same effects as drugs on the brain. These foods are usually highly processed as well as high in salt, sugar and fat. So we’ve put together a list everyone should know of what foods are addictive to help kick the craving!

Pizza

Ever crave a cheesy pizza after a long day? Well that craving is because pizza is one of the most addictive foods due to how processed it is. and high in salt it is.  Try making your own with healthier toppings and get creative with the crust. You’ll curb that pizza craving in no time.

Chocolate

Hands up if you have a sweet tooth like me? And chocolate is one of those weaknesses. But milk and white chocolate are actually highly addictive and contain a lot of sugar. Try swapping to dark chocolate with a higher coco content as this can actually be good for you and you’re still getting your chocolate intake. It’s a win win!

Crisps

Ready salted, salt & vinegar, prawn cocktail; whatever your choice is they are all super addictive. They’re highly processed and high in sodium. However, you can easily make your own which will be just as addicting but healthier!

Cookies

Now who here is a cookie monster? It can’t just be me. But cookies though tasty are highly addictive and full of sugar, which is a packet goes a lot quicker than they should. But if you make your own at home you cn track how much sugar you put in and you’ll also have an endless supply of them. That’s something everyone can get down with.
