CURB YOUR CRAVING!!

Permanently change the way that you respond to your cravings. 

The following may help you manage your cravings:

 

Have breakfast

The first meal of the day really is important, have a Herbalife Shake blended up with some pineapple and cinnamon or some frozen berries - it's delicious. Please ONLY use Soy or Rice milk.

 

Drink more fluid 

Often, you may think that you are hungry for food when in actual fact you may be thirsty. 

 

‘Distraction therapy’

Try to focus on something other than food. For example, you could try to read a book, take a bath or call a friend instead of reaching for unhealthy snacks.

 

Rate your hunger

Before you eat, ask yourself how hungry you really are. Could you manage without that packet of chips? It can take a while between starting to eat and feeling full, so try to eat more slowly.

 

Reducing temptation

Avoid buying some of the unhealthy foods that you find you cannot resist eating. It may be hard to do initially but don’t forget that you are in control of your eating.

 

Consider filling in a food diary for a couple of days

This will help you to identify your daily patterns of eating. Make a note of the food you eat and score your hunger on a scale of 1 to 10 at set times throughout the day. Try noting how you feel before and after eating food. This should help you to identify your reasons for eating, e.g. boredom. Your food diary should help to identify your triggers for eating and therefore help you to find a solution.

 

Make sure you ‘fuel up’ frequently

Eating little and often is really important as it gives us a constant supply of energy throughout the day. Have your snacks at 10 am and 3 pm. Include a protein and a carbohydrate. eg. almonds and an apple or boiled egg and tomato.
