One of the main problems you might encounter in your journey for weight loss is cravings. It can really be disheartening if you’re trying your best to burn up more calories and lose weight but then you can’t stop yourself from eating those foods that you made up your mind to avoid when you started to your quest for weight loss.
The fact is, if you’re trying to lose weight and you can’t deal with food cravings, then you might end up disappointed at the end of the day and might just give up entirely.
In this article, I’ll be sharing with you 4 efficient ways that you could avoid cravings and stick to your diet for the day.
1. Don’t skip meals (breakfast especially)
You might have heard one or two people say “the less you eat, the more weight you lose”. This statement is entirely false. People tend to skip meals, thinking that if when they do this, they’re doing themselves a favor.
Skipping meals puts you at a greater risk of overeating. Skipping breakfast especially is not healthy for you. Every morning, your body must have lasted for about 7 to 8 hours and so it’s important that you eat something every morning to boost your metabolism.
2. Eat protein in each meal
One of the best ways to curb cravings is to make sure you add protein to every meal you’re having. Especially your breakfast.
Protein fills you up for a very long period, due to the fact that your body spends more time trying to break down protein and especially when they’re in a considerable quantity and this, in turn, leads to your body burning up more calories. This is why most food that is high in protein are often described as foods that burn fat literally.
So you can add boiled eggs, nuts, fish (e.g. salmon), humus to each meal you’re about to have, depending on the meal. If for example your example, you’re planning on eating bread for breakfast, you could add 2 to 3 boiled egg to the recipe and you’ll see that it’ll fill you up for a long period of time. You could also eat more than one protein food at the same time if they’re available at the time.
3. Have healthy snacks made available
One of the best ways to keep food cravings at bay is to have healthy and nutritious available at all times. Some good examples of snacks you could have available include peanuts, walnuts, and other nutritious nuts, fresh fruits like apple, grapefruits and berries, yogurt, boiled eggs, or raw protein bars.
4. Always stay hydrated
Most times, thirst can feel like hunger and people that don’t understand this will just grab the next available thing edible. To avoid having cravings, you must learn to be conscious of your hydration levels. In fact, if it’s possible, carry a bottle of water where ever you go.
