 Tips For Overcoming Terrible Food Cravings

We all experience cravings in our lives sometimes more than others. Following the holidays we may find ourselves with cravings as we begin to cut back.  Sometimes we are really fine all day but when night falls the craving beast gets out. I have found having a few tools in place will help me to either it let go or if I do give in at least get satisfaction so the craving is gone. Here is a list of techniques I use:

Distraction:

• Drink a glass of water or tea with some stevia. Often we mistake thirst for a craving
• Have a snack with some good fat and protein like a handful of almonds or an avocado
• Have a mineral rich green juice or green smoothie which will flood your body with energy
• Enjoy a cup of Detox Hot Chocolate (recipe below)
• Have a Sweet Romaine Wrap (recipe below)
• Go for a walk, or take a bubble bath, put on some music and dance, call a friend. Do anything to shift your energy or environment
• Swish your mouth with some natural minty mouthwash. This sends the signal to your brain that the eating center is closed for now.
• Make sure you are getting enough sleep, when you are sleep deprived your metabolism slows down and you start craving sweets or salt.

Giving in:

• I recommend doing EFT Tapping for Cravings  before you give in. Click here to see video.   Tapping points shown below.
• If after tapping if you feel you must give in decide with full awareness what you want, get the best version of it, sit down light a candle, smell your treat, taste it, savor every bite, loving it. This will register satisfaction in your brain. Don't stand in front of the refrigerator stuffing it into your mouth. If you really want say ice cream and you decide you are going to have it make sure your brain is participating in the experience of having it, this will ultimately free you.

What To Do When The Cravings Don't Stop

You also may have hidden food allergies causing these cravings. For more long term results, I have discovered by eliminating all sugar and inflammatory foods for a short time almost all of my food cravings go away in a few days. Removing these foods for 5 days completely eliminates cravings.

The Nourishing Foods Detox Program starting Jan 9 is an opportunity to be guided to learn what to eat & how to prepare delicious nutritious food that will inspire you to nourish yourself and remove your cravings. This program will take you long beyond your 5 days of cleansing. This is a program to hit the reset button on your diet so you can improve your digestion, boost your immunity and feel nourished and physically fit for the upcoming year.

Here's your chance to clean up, clean out & feel great in just 5 days!
