Beat Cravings
Restrictive diets don't work. People tend to binge if they feel that their eating is being restricted.
Don't let yourself feel this way; don't sabotage your weight loss efforts. How can you prevent cravings?
Never go hungry. Eat breakfast and a small snack every 3-4 hours. Hunger can trigger intense cravings. Eating smaller meals every 3-4 hours helps you to control cravings and keeps you from overeating.
Don't deprive yourself of foods that you love, even if they're bad for you. Substituting fruit or veggies will not satisfy your craving. Eat a small portion of what you really want and savor every bite of it.
Avoid foods that you shouldn't eat. Don't buy the treats; if they're not in your cupboard, they're much less of a threat to your diet.
