There are some people that are actually addicted to carbohydrates. Here’s a podcast where Dr. Berg talks about what happens to the brain when someone has an addiction to carbs. A tiny cell body located in the brain called nucleus accumbens is a part of the reward system that uses dopamine, GABA, and serotonin as its main neurotransmitter. These neurotransmitters are ultimately involved with creating the pleasure sensation. 

Triggers to Release the Neurotransmitters 
• Drugs
• Alcohol
• Tobacco
• Sex
• Exercise
• Sugar 

Addiction versus Cravings
• In the addiction, the consequences don’t bother you much anymore.
