Key Tips on How to Curb Cravings

Ever had cravings… also known as the munchies?
Your body keeps sending hunger signals so you then keep eating as you feel hungry.
Many of you satisfy those cravings with unhealthy foods like sweets or bad carbs. This can not only pile on the weight, but also give you little to no nutritional value making you feel sluggish.
Most if not all cravings can be traced back to a nutritional deficiency. By eating a healthy diet most cravings will stop over time.
There are plenty of healthy choices instead of junk food and bad processed foods. Unhealthy food choices won’t give your body the nutrients it needs. So you’ll continue to get cravings and having those feelings of the munchies and this vicious cycle will continue.
For example, many people crave sweet foods in the mid to late evening. Instead of choosing processed lifeless sweets, have a piece of fruit such as watermelon. The natural sugars in fruit will help curb those sweet cravings. Not only is it refreshing and tasty, you’re getting a good injection of quality nutrients that are great for your body.
Here are 5 ways that you can curb those cravings:
 

Sleep – Having 8 hours of quality sleep allows the body to do its job of healing and repair. It also helps regulate hormones which affect our appetite and how we process and store fats, carbs and sugars.
