Tips- Manage Food Cravings to Lose Weight

When we hear of eating disorders, we mostly think of those related with eating less, like bulimia and anorexia. But on the other end, there is an eating disorder where people tend to eat too much- its called binge eating disorder.

Many over weight people suffer from this binge eating disorder – varying from eating too much and/or eating too often. Even if you don’t have an eating disorder, but snack often and would like to reduce your snacking habit, we have tips for you. Here are tips that can help manage snacking and binge eating:

Drink a glass of water: Often our brain misinterprets the need for water as a need to snack. So, drink a glass of water. Besides getting the benefits of water, you’ll also avoid the extra calories of junk food.

Walk away: When food temptation is close, walk away. If you keep your mind off the food, your temptation to snack is much lower. So, don’t keep tempting food in front of you. And if it is, move somewhere else

Give yourself 10 minutes: Like walking away, some times all it takes is distracting your mind for 10 minutes. If you’re not hungry, then your brain will forget about the snack craving. If you’re truly hungry, then have a healthy snack.

Know a Craving: If you know its a craving, then its easier to beat it. As you try to beat your cravings you will start realizing what’s a real need, and what’s a craving.

Call A friend: Have a friend on speed dial, a buddy who will support you on weight loss, and talk you out of reaching out for that chocolate cake!

Think about the calories: Think about the calories that you’re piling on from the snacking, and the effort it takes to burn it- like how many calories in a chocolate cake and how much effort to burn if off.

Keep these tips handy, and you will soon be a smart snacker!
