How To Beat Your Stubborn Cravings

Why is it that a person with good weight loss intentions never actually gets to their target weight? Well, there are many reasons for that but one of the biggest reasons I believe is due to cravings and people's failure to control them! I don't believe that it is possible to completely get rid of them, but through practical methods, you can certainly control your cravings and put yourself on the right track to getting to your ideal body weight.

If cravings included foods like fresh fruit, no one would ever be overweight, but unfortunately, that is simply not the case! In fact, most cravings include the sweetest of the sweet and contain a whole lot of unnecessary calories that your body simply just doesn't need. And as I'm sure you know that cravings often lead to binge eating!

Here are a couple of tips that will help you control your cravings:

1. Stop denying yourself. You don't have to completely cut out your favourite foods, rather try have less of them! If you are going to indulge in your cravings rather increase the amount of healthy food you eat in order to balance your diet.

2. Eat healthy first. Sometimes you're just hungry and given the choice you are naturally going to eat your favourite types of food. Plus if you fill yourself up first on healthier alternatives, you will find that it is easier to avoid the unhealthy snacks.

3. Avoid your cravings altogether. If you don't have your favourite sugary snack around you are less likely to be reminded of how good it tastes.

4. Change your picture. When cravings hit, remind yourself of what your ideal body image looks like and then decide which you want more, your perfect body or your favourite foods?

5. Move your attention. Distract yourself by listening to some music, reading or even calling a friend. But if you really want burn fat fast, try some exercise every time a craving hits!

6. Get lots of sleep and exercise. These 2 activities will help control certain types of hormones in your body, which regulates appetite. Lack of either can lead to binge eating, talk about motivation!

7. Try the healthy alternative. Always keep healthy alternatives with you so that when all else fails you have a healthy snack to munch on instead of a sugary snack.

Some of these strategies will work for you and some of them won't! All it takes is one good strategy to overcome your cravings, so use the one that works best for you and throw the rest away. If you want to get to the ideal weight then it is important to control your cravings, not the other way around!

In his own words, he says, "I used to be overweight until people started making rude comments and that is when decided that enough is enough, and lost the weight for good!" He has been at his goal weight for the last 10 years and has never looked back!

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
