What Are the Best Strategies to Control Food Cravings?

Every single human being experiences food cravings at some point or another. Sometimes these are triggered by very real hunger, and as such, should be assuaged as soon as possible. However, often these irresistible urges to ear are prompted by chemical/hormonal reactions in the body.

Beware of Fad Diets

Diets by their very nature are restrictive. You might initially feel that the diet/s will change your eating patterns and help you grow stronger, healthier, thinner, etc. But invariably, within days or hours, even, you will begin to suffer ever more demanding cravings for the very foods you’re restricted from eating.

Eat Sufficient Calories

There is a proviso here, the calories should come from nutrient-rich, healthy, filling foods, rather than fatty, sugary, or savoury foods. Food is the fuel your body needs to produce energy.

Tank Up on Protein and fibre

Eating more protein has been found to keep hunger pangs at bay for longer. Protein takes longer to digest, keeping your body feeling full for longer.

Stay Hydrated

You’d be surprised how often the body misinterprets thirst signals from the brain for food cravings. There is a way to differentiate, though. When this craving hits, don’t reach for the fridge.

Stay Active Daily: Exercise Tips

There is no denying that our lives get more sedentary by the day. Two of the twin negatives of urbanisation are unhealthy eating habits and sedentary living.

Use Apples to Subdue Cravings

One of the problems with cravings, is that it isn’t easy to tell if what we’re experiencing is just a craving or the real thing.

How to Manage Stress?

There’s a valid reason why empty-calorie foods like ice cream and fried snacks have won the sobriquet of ‘comfort food’. Consuming them feels good when we are stressed.

Diet Plans with Cheat Meals

There’s a reason cheat meals have a place in almost every diet plan. Steadfastly damping down on cravings is not just difficult, it can have real, negative consequences.

Chew on Some Gum

Similar to the ‘apple-snack’ trick, reaching for a stick of sugar-free chewing gum also helps reduce cravings.
