Fighting food cravings

We have all experienced that intense urge for something, anything, not necessarily sure what, but usually something unhealthy.  Chocolate, ice cream, chips, doughnuts.  If you are trying to lose weight giving in to those cravings can really set you back. 

The best way to fight those cravings is to try not to go without eating for too long.  Eating smaller amounts more often can cut back on hunger pangs and reduce cravings.  Also, find low calorie healthier alternatives to the foods you normally crave.  This way you are prepared when the urge strikes. 

If you know you like chocolate, try drinking a chocolate protein shake or only eat a small piece of chocolate rather than a whole bar.  Share the rest of the bar with family or friends.  When the urge for something sweet hits, eat a container of yogurt or a piece of fruit. On of my favorite snacks is a protein smoothie.  I puree fruit, mix it with yogurt, a little water, and vanilla protein powder.  It has the texture of a melted milkshake but much healthier. 

Another good idea is to set aside one day a week as a cheat day.  This way you can indulge in something totally unhealthy without feeling guilty, knowing that tomorrow you will be back to your healthy, virtuous self.
