Emergency Craving Stopper #1 – Drink water – Drinking water is an excellent way to help in curbing your appetite. This especially works for when you crave sweet foods. Try drinking about 8-16 ounces of water when you start feeling those cravings.
Emergency Craving Stopper #2- Brush your teeth – Craving that candy bar? Try brushing your teeth! Your dentist will absolutely love you! The freshness from brushing your teeth and the sweetness from toothpaste can help in curbing your craving for sweets & even foods with carbohydrates.
Emergency Craving Stopper #3- Don’t skip meals – If you start having strong hunger pains due to not eating properly through out the day, the possibility of you craving bad foods are escalated. Try eating six small healthy meals daily. This will regulate your blood sugar levels, boost your metabolism, keep you full, and help in curbing cravings.
Emergency Craving Stopper #4- Sleep – If you are tired and sleepy, you can end up craving bad foods. Carbohydrates and salty foods are two of the most popular foods craved when tired.
Emergency Craving Stopper #5- Distraction – Food cravings do not last long. Most of the time they only last around 5-20 minutes. So, distract yourself with doing something active during this time.
Emergency Craving Stopper #6- Vegetable snacks – Have pre-made vegetable slices readily available for you to snack on. When you get those cravings, grab some carrot sticks, celery sticks, etc. to munch on.
Emergency Craving Stopper #7- Protein shake – This is my favorite! Having a protein shake is perfect for calming those cravings for sweet foods (especially milkshakes and ice cream) and foods with carbohydrates.
