Combat Cravings Checklist

So we have all had to deal with that little devil in our head shouting at us to go to the fridge or the cupboard and go crazy!  Annoying little so and so that he/she is, they can be very persistent!
 
Well I’m going to give you a few simple ways to make them quieten down and behave!

1. Change up your diet!  Yep they're only shouting at you because you are missing a vital nutrient, but they're like a toddler that can’t explain what they really wants.  Eat a wholesome diet, full of good nutritious food.  Lots of colour, lots of good lean healthy protein, oils and healthy carbs.  I recommend an 80/20 approach.  80% of the time eat what your body needs and the other 20% eat what you fancy.
2. Juice – again it goes back to that shouting toddler – give them what they need rather than what they wants.  Juices will drastically increase your nutrient intake in a very efficient way.  Now I’m talking about 1 fresh juice daily, more veg than fruit, with a lemon or lime, not long juice fasts.
3. Get out – remove yourself from temptation – part of the reason you are craving may be boredom or habit so do something interesting and break the habit.
4. Back to diet – eat properly during the day.  Don’t skip meals or eat food that doesn’t satisfy your needs and then go crazy at 10pm when it’s just going to sit in your digestive tract, stop you sleeping and make you feel awful.
5. Ask yourself what is really eating you?  Deal with your stresses and frustrations face on or you will eat them.
