Violet is shrinking
1) If craving hits, then don't give in immediately. Have a glass of water and wait 10 mins, sometimes the body confuses hunger with thirst. Still hungry, then have a little something but eat it slowly, let the stomach register fullness.
2) Sprinkle cinnamon on your cereals, porridge or yoghurt.Research says that even half a teaspoon of cinnamon helps regulate insulin production and blood sugar levels, so you're less likely to reach for sugar in between meals.
3) Unsulphured, dried apricots are nice and sweet but also high in fibre and full of nutrients.
4) Stress can cause salt cravings,making you short on potassium which isn't so good if you love you savoury foods. Add parsley to your meals, or up your intake of other potassium rich foods, like spinach, banana and lentils.
5) Ditch the fruit juice. A glass of pure fruit juice contains around 5 teaspoons of sugar and will play havoc with your blood sugar, leaving you craving something sweet again, dilute it by half with water to lessen the impact.
6) Get active, exercise will leave you craving unhealthy food less. The endorphins it releases helps you feel mentally stronger, so you're less likely to want to binge.
