Tips to Beat those Cravings

Cravings and temptations are the evil which feed your hips. Cravings can be often mistaken for hunger but they aren’t. Here are some simple, funny yet effective ways to beat your food cravings as you try to lose weight.

1. The best way is not to buy stuff like cakes, cookies and fries. But what if you already have the tastiest and unhealthiest of foods at home? You have spend green paper on them and they look delicious in your cabinets. You slowly reach for them one by one! You think, I can’t control. If you can’t, you throw them out. Give yourself a pat on your back after squeezing them or smashing them and throwing them in to the garbage bin. It is better to lose those easy pounds than spend eons in losing body pounds.
2. You’ve learnt your lesson by losing some money. Stop buying calories. Next is to change your diet patterns. If you have noticed, the more you eat foods the more you develop taste and long for them. So change what you have been eating. You are not tempted if you hear the name Yokan or see it in a plate because you don’t know that it is a Japanese sweet and what it tastes like. But if you see a piece of cheese cake your brows go up and your fingers reach out to the fork. So if you want to stick on to your weight loss plan eliminate those tempters from your diet and include healthier ones for you to get attuned to. It may be difficult but not impossible.
3. If you feel that relentless craving for cookies or ice cream throw some nuts in to your mouth. A combination of water, nuts and 20 mnts time would be sufficient to curb your appetite and throw water on your cravings.
4. Experts say that cravings are short lived. They may last only for about 10 or 15 mnts. If you can recognize your cravings then you succeed in steering past them. The wisest method is to distract your mind off the tempter. Eat your nuts, watch TV, read a book, call a friend or exercise!
5. One of the main culprits behind weight gain and hunger is stress. If you can deal with the chap then no worries in getting through. Learn to divert your mind off stressful things. Know when your hunger is induced by stress and tension. Understand that not everything is in your control and that you have to let things go.
