Do you usually get that 3 p.m. hankering for something sweet or something salty? Next time a craving hits, try one of these three tips to avoid an unnecessary food binge:
Hydrate. Make sure you’re drinking a sufficient amount of water during the day. Many experts recommend drinking 64 ounces (or eight 8 ounces glasses) of water per day. Often, drinking a glass of water will make you feel full.
Ask yourself if you’re actually hungry. A lot of cravings actually arise out of boredom; maybe you’re not actually hungry. Try to focus on starting a new task to shift your attention and see if your craving dissipates.
Satisfy your craving with a healthier substitute. If you absolutely must have something sweet, have a piece of fruit. If you have a hankering for something salty, nosh on a handful of nuts.
If diet is half of the equation, exercise is the other half. Visit The Workout Girl for circuit workouts you can do at home or anywhere.
