Five Tips To Stop Food Cravings
Are you trying to get rid of food cravings and having no luck? Are you plagued by sugar cravings and chocolate cravings? Do you snack more times in the day than is good for you? Would you like to reduce the amount of food you eat during your meals? Why do you have to go on a strict diet and spoil all the fun? Recent research shows that cravings may well be due to a sort of food addiction to certain chemicals contained in food but it has to be proven scientifically.
In the meantime.. craving food is much more widespread than craving nicotine, alcohol and other substances. Maybe one of the reasons you might feel like you are craving food is because you are craving the missing nutrients. It is unfortunate that craving food is part of what comes with taking certain types of medications. Also maybe the person (female) who craves food is pregnant; craving food is a symptom of being pregnant. My favourite craving food is a peanut butter and cool ranch dorito sandwich. Vitamins and minerals and healthy omega 3 fats can also help you feel more energetic and you may get out and walk or exercise more often. Here are five tips that I have found useful to get rid of food cravings:-
1.If I wake up at night and am heading for the fridge, a glass of water placed strategically helps to stop me in my tracks!
2. I try to eat fruit before a main meal - let us say about half an hour beforehand. This helps to fill me up.
3. I brush my teeth straight after eating- this helps me to stop snacking afterwards- i.e. having a piece of chocolate. The minty taste of toothpaste seems to reduce my food cravings.
4. All the gurus tell you to eat slowly- well so slowly in fact that they say it takes about twenty minutes for the stomach to tell your brain that it is full! Imagine waiting 20 minutes between one helping and another! As this is hardly practical, I would just suggest you eat slowly.
5. Everybody tells us that we should NOT be doing another activity while we are eating. Why? Because apparently eating in the car or while watching TV distracts us so that we tend to eat more than if we were just giving all our attention to eating. Setting the table and making the meal an occasion helps as well.
