CRAVING CONTROL
Always got the munchies even when you're not hungry? Here's how to
stop a craving from blowing your get thin diet plan
BANISH HUNGER
Skipping meals sets you up for intense cravings. Eating regular meals
of complex carbs—not refined ones like white bread and pasta—with
protein and a small amount of healthy fat will keep your blood sugar
steady, and you feeling satisfied. When you do snack between meals,
make smart choices. Foods with staying power: low-fat yogurt and
granola or half a banana with with natural peanut butter.
IDENTIFY TRIGGERS
Keep a food log for a week, recording your moods, what stresses you
out, and how hungry you feel before eating. Once you've identified the
things that drive you to raid your sweet stash, you can react
productively instead of eating half a pound of chocolate.
WAIT IT OUT
You're most susceptible to your brain's demands during the 20 minutes
after a stressful episode—the amount of time it takes for serotonin to
bounce back and stress hormones to fall. If you can resist a
temptation for just that long, the urge will probably fade.
DRINK SOMETHING
The hypothalamus, your brain's control center for mood- and
food-related signals, detects thirst as well as hunger. Gulp a glass
of water or green tea and see if the craving passes.
BLOW IT OFF
If you absolutely need an oral fix, brush your teeth or reach for sugar-free gum.
Researchers in Australia measured the levels of cortisol in the saliva
of study subjects and found that on average, gum chewers had 16
percent less of the stress hormone than non-chewers and responded
better to stressful situations.
SEE THE LIGHTER SIDE
Studies show that laughter cuts stress, releases feel-good endorphins,
and burns calories—an hour of laughing it up can torch about as many
as a half-hour of lifting weights. So get a quick boost of laughter by watching
your favourite funny YouTube video.
