May 14, 2010, Newsletter Issue #229: Beat Cravings

Tip of the Week

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.
