Control Your Cravings – What are Trigger Foods and Tips to Beat Cravings
If you are anything like me you occasionally struggle with food cravings. Try not to think that you are unable to control yourself, or that you don’t like healthy food. It’s simply that your body is suffering from food addictions you may not even be aware of.
Try some of these tips the next time you have a food craving:
1. Avoid your Triggers- The foods you eat are what cause the cravings, so in order to avoid food cravings you’ll have to cut out the foods that result in cravings in the first place. Avoiding those trigger foods can help you establish a different palette, and soon instead of craving a greasy cheeseburger, your body will want fresh fruit.
2. Moderation is Key- Depriving yourself of all your favorite foods can actually make things worse. It’s ok to eat trigger foods as long as you know what your body will do in response. But by keeping yourself under such strict lock and key that all you can think about is breaking the rules, you’ll only make tempting foods harder to resist.
3. Relax- Your body responds to stress by producing a hormone called cortisol. This hormone has the ability to actually stimulate the appetite especially in women. This response tells your body so seek out carbs and fat, fueling your toughest cravings including those for sweets, croissants and other sugar-based foods. If you are feeling overly anxious and/or stressed take a short walk, read a book, or do some breathing exercises to help ease that stress reaction in your body.
4. Energize Yourself- If your cravings will not go away, you might need to get to the root of the problem. Emotional or biological triggers may be what is causing your cravings. If you: do not get enough sleep, have low magnesium or iron, skip meals, or do not drink enough water you may be creating triggers that can keep those foods in the forefront of your mind. Try to drink half of your body weight in ounces everyday.
5. Out of Site- Keep the foods that you crave out of your house. What you can’t see, you can’t eat.
If you want to avoid food cravings, choosing food substitutions that help develop new habits so you start craving healthy foods instead of unhealthy foods, can really make a difference.
Instead of chocolate: eat nuts, seeds, legumes and fruit to provide your body with the Magnesium it’s craving
Instead of sugar-filled foods: eat broccoli, grapes, eggs, fruit, cabbage, cheese, and sweet potato to provide your body with the Phosphorus, Carbon, Sulfur and Tryptophan it’s craving.
Instead of bread, pasta and other simple carbs: eat chicken, fish, nuts and beans to provides your body with the Nitrogen it’s craving.
Instead of fatty or salty foods: eat milk, cheese, yogurt, legumes, fish and leafy green vegetables to provide your body with the Calcium and Chloride it’s craving.
