Lahore: (RightNow) Craving sweets immediately after dinner is a common occurrence. Nutritionists suggest it could be due to habit or nutritional deficiency.

Nutritionist Rashi Chaudhry states that many believe it indicates a lack of vitamins. However, this is not always the case.

Experts say the craving for sweets may arise from not eating nutritious meals throughout the day, especially when lacking protein and fiber.

This habit may develop from childhood, where eating sweets after meals becomes routine. Mental stress can also increase the desire for sweets.

It is important to note that lack of sleep and nutrition can also heighten the craving for sweets. This is a normal bodily response, not a sign of weak willpower.
