How To Deal with Cravings for Food During Weight Loss

     One of the primary difficulties for many people when trying to lose weight is getting hungry during a diet. Most can do very well for several weeks and then have a bad moment when they give into their cravings and give up. This is often followed by a few days of being "off the wagon" at which one may or may not go back on the program. To have a successful outcome, what has to happen from day one is to have a weight loss plan that is practical.

Go for a gradual plan to lose weight. It's difficult to accept this quite often thanks to newspaper and television advertisements showing someone lost 20 pounds in three days. Most of these are not actually real. Start by lowering a total of two hundred or so calories regardless of whether you eat a smaller amount or burn more and that will enable you to get about 20 lbs of weight reduction a year. It really is not easy to feel hungry when it's just a couple hundred calories less than normal.

Exercise more as well as eat more. It really is better to burn off more calories and continue to eat than it is to starve. If you workout hard and eat well, the chance of giving into cravings is much less.

Get plenty of good food to snack on. Get some good fresh foods like apples, celery, carrots, bananas, as well as others to snack on. These will not make you quite as full and satisfied as a lot of greasy foods however they do help with the addiction of eating for the sake of eating.

Allow yourself your cravings within reason. If you want pizza, go get some pizza. Just do not eat thousands of calories worth of it at a single sitting. Twenty five minutes before the meal have a large bowl filled with fruit or veggies or even oatmeal. Allow that settle after that go ahead and have your favorite meal. At least this helps mitigate a couple of hundred calories that would otherwise end up being pizza.
