Avoid Cravings
Tips to Avoid Cravings:
1) Craving chocolate? Eat a banana. It sometimes satisfies
the yearning for chocolate and is much less fattening.
2) Chew sugarless gum. It speeds up the digestive system,
burning more calories, and sometimes kills a craving.
3) Exercise!
Your appetite will temporarily subside and you'll feel better about
taking such a proactive approach.
4) Still craving chocolate? Try a magnesium supplement.
Many women are deficient in this mineral, which is found in chocolate.
5) Craving fatty foods? Eat fish, or take a fish oil
or flaxseed oil supplement. You may be low in essential fatty acids.
6) Grab something to drink. Sometimes, cravings for
food are really thirst in disguise.
7) Sweet tooth? Protein, fat and fiber keep blood sugar
levels more even and help keep such cravings under control.
8) Watch your caffeine intake. Caffeine seems to make
sugar cravings worse.
9) If your will power weakens at night, try leaving
the lights on until the minute you go to bed. Dimmed lights tend to
lower inhibitions.
10) Turn off the lights in your kitchen and avoid hanging
out there.
