7 WAYS TO DESTROY CRAVINGS!
How do you triumph in the war against yourself? Because in all actuality the truth is that having a fitness or dietary program we are in a fight against ourselves. We are fighting to change lifelong habits. Whether they are lifelong eating habits or exercise habits starting a exercise program or dietary program immediately goes against all of our natural instincts. It’s FRIENDLY FIRE! And like I mentioned the last article “#1 Hardest thing to do in the world & 4 ways to overcome it” starting a exercise program is very difficult but there are ways to overcome the hurdles. Now what about the dieting part? Because yes maybe we are able to eat everything we want and exercise off all that we ate but is the food that we are eating contributing to our overall health? Well if they are not they need to be because remember YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR LIFE! And yes, I know that sometimes we crave for something and it is eating away at us and it seems impossible to resist, but what can you do in that circumstance? Well here are a few ways to resist cravings to “curb your enthusiasm” so to say…
- Try to stay busy. Now I know that this is not anything new. But the thing is it is one of the best. Now when I say stay busy I am saying DO ANYTHING whether it be exercise, scrapbooking, talking to someone or at the least play with your kids. I DO NOT KNOW! Think about something or do my favorite thing take a nap…
Try brushing your teeth. Now this is one that I like because when you think about it it is something that is sort of a double good thing. Because one thing that is good about brushing your teeth is that you are maintaining very good dental hygiene and your dentist will be super proud of you and on the other hand for some strange reason when you have those pearly whites nice and clean you really do not want to mess them up too soon. - Do you like cinnamon? Well it’s time to like it more. Studies are now showing that sprinkling cinnamon capsules on to your food will curve your appetite. Also keep in mind that cinnamon is also very good for your overall health to for example: U.S. Department of Agriculture in Maryland showed that cinnamon reduced the proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells, Cinnamon spice contains anti-inflammatory compounds which can be useful in reducing pain and inflammation associated with arthritis, Cinnamon is a blood thinning agent which also acts to increase circulation. This blood circulation helps significantly in removing pain. Good blood circulation also ensures oxygen supply to the body cells leading to higher metabolic activity. You significantly reduce the chance of getting a heart attack by regularly consuming cinnamon and not only that but you get fresh breath too (expect another blog post just about cinnamon). Regularly taking cinnamon is good for you take the time and use cinnamon more often. Nature's Bounty Cinnamon 1000mg, 100 Capsules (Pack of 3)
- Drink WATER! Yes I know that everyone knows this but a friendly reminder is always good….
Massage those cravings away. I like this one and I think that you will too, try massaging some of your troubles and cravings away. Because really think about it when your getting a message what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about the bills, that appointment at 10, the kids or that chocolate cake that looks so good? No, right? Well that is the point massage all those troubles away along with those cravings. - Try not to be alone. This is important because really when you have someone there looking over your shoulder that has the true intention of helping you in the long run well maybe you’ll think twice about satisfying that craving.
Think about the consequences, and I mean really think. This is probably the most important step anyone can take and probably the one step that everyone should take. Starting a diet plan is no easy and usually those killer cravings will not come the first day. Usually they come after we have seen some progress. To really halt those cravings a little bit think about what you are about to do and how it will affect you. Think about how it will affect your family and friends your fitness buddy if they every found out. Think how you will feel after eating that big huge piece of chocolate cake. Will it REALLY make you feel better? Will it TRULY put an END to your craving?
