Rebecca Cain Salpacka 100 Posted May 6, 2013 it isnt easy...but cravings are the head hunger that comes through..i usually try to take that time to exercise..if im at work, ill take a walk break if i can get away, if im at home but dont have time to go to the gym, ill try to get up and clean, something to keep me busy to get it off my mind. Also if its something sweet i will try to "fake out" the craving with a sugar free popsicle..if its something crunchy im craving ill do an apple or celery... 1 Erica313 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veronica68 81 Posted May 6, 2013 Cravings are really hard. If you think you really are physically hungry, have something on your plan to eat, and maybe that will satisfy the craving for something that's not. I agree with Rebbeca, if you think it's head hunger, get busy! Get out of the house, clean something, make a phone call. You may find once you distract yourself, the craving goes away. Hope this helps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
labwalker 1,177 Posted May 6, 2013 Suggestions: Are you having enough Protein at each meal? Are you near the green point with fills? Protein and being at the right fill point should help with cravings. Some foods will trigger them, so follow the diet recommendations. Exercise is said to release stored glucose from the liver, and that should also reduce hunger cravings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
