Make friends with your cravings

Give into temptation

We all have cravings that sneak up on us when we least expect it, so why fight temptation and risk over-indulging?

A trick to weight loss success is not depriving yourself of the things your body craves.

Shunning your favourite dessert just because you're on a diet, for example, is a recipe for disaster. Give these two tips a try to give into your cravings – the healthy way.

2 Ways to befriend your cravings

1. Make your favourite treats healthy. For example, you could add a little carrot juice to your hot chocolate to give it a health kick, while still keeping it sweet and tasty.

2. Go gourmet. Instead of mindlessly munching bland treats to try and satisfy your sweet tooth, trade them up for a gourmet choice. You could indulge in one or two pieces of Lindt dark chocolate, a gourmet cookie, or a few olive oil potato chips instead.
