4 Craving Crushing Tips – Part I

Being hungry sucks.  In fact, it’s the #1 reason people struggle to follow diets.

Think about it:  When is the last time you “cheated” on your diet when you WEREN’T hungry?

Exactly.

Simply put, the key to sticking with any diet is learning how to control hunger and manage cravings.

And that’s what I’m here to discuss today – four of my top EIGHT craving crushing tips:

#1 – Volumize your meals: A 400 calorie meal can be exceptionally filling or extremely unsatisfying depending on the types of foods that make up the meal.

For example, a single Dollar Menu fast-food burger can easily pack home 400 calories.  Same for 4 Reese’s Cups.

I don’t know about you, but neither of those items are leaving me “full” and satisfied.

At the same time, a HUGE salad chock full of veggies galore and topped with an ample portion of lean protein such as grilled chicken or fish can be a struggle to finish, while containing even fewer calories.

Want to walk away from every meal feeling full, but without packing on the pounds?  The solution is simple: make sure to always choose foods that provide a lot of volume without a lot of calories.  Huge salads, lean proteins, and even more veggies to fill out the ol’ plate make for a wholesome, high volume, low calorie meal every time.

#2 – Chew gum: Feeling hungry between meals?  Reach for a piece of sugar-free gum.  The simple act of chewing and keeping your mouth occupied will have an immediate effect on your level of hungry and quickly have you forgetting about being hungry.

#3 – Eat MORE fat: Out of the three macronutrients, the most satiating is fat.  By adding healthy fat to a meal in the form of healthy oils, nuts, avocado, organic butter, etc, you’ll automatically increase the acute and long-term satiety of the meal.  Feel fuller faster and stay fuller longer – a great combo!

#4 – Eat more frequently: The longer you wait between feeding, the more hungrier you get.  Simple solution:  eat more frequently.  I recommend a frequency of 5 to 7 feedings per day, spaced out approximately 2 – 3 hours apart.
