Track your healthy weight loss diet for 2 weeks. Take note of when you followed it and when you went outside the lines and ate something you weren’t supposed to. These moments of weakness were either planned or spur of the moment.
Can you see any patterns in your splurges that were split-second decisions? There is a good chance that these were cravings being acted on. Cravings are a common problem for many people following any type of healthy eating plans. Check out this step-by-step process that will help you tackle your cravings:
Step 1: Identify and acknowledge that you are having a craving.
Step 2: Figure out the trigger that is causing your craving.
Step 3: Remove the food or drink that you crave. For instance, if chocolate is your weakness, do not keep any form of chocolate in your house or at your workplace.
Step 4: Wait out your craving. Cravings are more psychological than anything, so give it 20 minutes and the nagging feeling should pass. Making the conscious decision to wait out your craving will empower you.
Applying all 4 steps right away is extremely difficult. Take one step at a time and try to improve each day. Before you know it, cravings will be a thing of the past and you will be following your healthy weight loss diet to a T!
