Ways to combat food cravings

Here are ways to combat food cravings and get your diet on track. Read on for some of them.

 

Brush your teeth

 

Prone to eating when you’re bored? Don’t head to the kitchen, head to the bathroom! Brushing your teeth is a great way to put off needless snacking. And, hey, your dentist will thank you for it!

 

Eat better all the time

 

We all need to eat—there is no way around that! But when eating becomes over-eating, then that’s a problem. The key to beating over-eating, then, is to eat the right foods all the time. Packing your diet with filling foods, protein and complex carbohydrates in particular, keeps your blood sugar more constant, and, yes, help stave off food cravings.

 

Plan a splurge

 

One way to combat impulsive cravings? Have a normally off-limits meal to look forward to. After all, you don’t have to eat healthy 100 per cent of the time. Once a week, perhaps, plan a truly decadent meal that you can pine over for the rest of the week. Hey, it beats giving into impulses every time they come up!

 

Keep it out

 

If you can’t be trusted to eat just one piece of chocolate, don’t have it in the house! It is as simple as that. If you know you can’t trust yourself at the grocery store, make sure to eat before you make the trip. Avoid walking past that ice cream parlor if you don’t think you can resist.

 

Distract yourself

 

If you are feeling a craving coming on, distract yourself. Go for a walk, call a friend, read a book, anything to get your mind off of it.

Am not really a food person but reading take distract me from it.
