The most common cravings when you are on a diet are foods with a high fat or sugar content - simply because they are extremely tasty! The culprits are usually foods we were given as treats when we were young, such as chocolate, cakes, crisps or chips.
Try some of the following if you are craving madly!
1. UNSALTED NUTS - these are an ideal snacking food as they don't make your blood sugar levels fluctuate, so you won't feel the need to reach for another snack.
2. FRESH FRUIT - sweet in taste but with healthy natural sugar, rather than the refined sugar in cakes and biscuits that will just increase the craving!
3. LEAN CHICKEN - high protein and therefore filling, it may break the sugar craving cycle.
4. MINT TEA - try it to give a fresh clean taste in your mouth, taking away the desire to tuck into something savoury.
5. WATER - drinking water regularly throughout the day can keep your stomach feeling full and reduce the need to eat.
Eating little and often will also prevent blood sugar dips and reduce those cravings.
Happy Eating!
