The most difficult part for many people trying to lose unwanted fat, is the challenge of overcoming food cravings. You may have a friend or two that can just say “no” and control food cravings just with determination, but for most of us it is not that easy. Here are several tips to help you achieve your goal by winning over your food cravings:
1. Plan your diet:- You can plan your diet ahead with a list of the food and drinks that you are allowed to consume.
2. Make it a habit to avoid bad foods:- One practical way to avoid the food that is not good for you, is to clean your fridge from these foods. Be sure to only stock up on those that are on the “allowed foods” lit.
3. Eat some nuts:- Studies show that food cravings tend to pass by if you snack on nuts and drink water in between meals. Be sure to stock up on nuts and bottled water at home, in the office and even on the go.
4. Take that afternoon nap:- You should take power naps because food cravings actually sneak up when we are tired. Make sure that you do not reach the end of the line when it comes to physical and mental tiredness.
5. Distractions:- When you feel the craving sneaking in, do something you like – read a book, call a loved one, exercise, listen to music or meditate.
6. You can “cheat” sometimes:- When you avoid your favorite foods for long periods, you can crave for more because of the feeling of self deprivation. You can indulge in small portions of your favorite foods at set times.
