Dealing with cravings

Here are some ideas on how to deal with cravings or prevent yourself from giving in to all of them.

High protein-fat snack to keep cravings at bay

Eat a snack that is both high in protein as well as in healthy fat. Examples of these foods include avocados, seeds and nuts. Always keep a small bag of nuts in your handbag or drawer at work so that you have a healthy snack on hand for when needed.

Herbal teas

It seems that sipping on herbal teas regularly may help to keep cravings away. Try adding a slice of lemon to your cup of tea for added flavour and taste.

Smoothies

Create your own healthy smoothie – whether it’s a combination of fruit or vegetables or perhaps even both, you will have a nutrient-rich snack to help keep you full. Try to add a source of healthy fat too such as avocado or coconut.

Feel for chocolate

Opt for a piece of dark chocolate as opposed to the milk chocolate version that is higher in calories.

There are thus various different ways to deal with cravings, so use the ones that work for you and keep the weight off!
