How can I lose weight and cut down on cravings?

Okay, so I really need to loose weight but it’s like the harder I try to eat healthy and less, the more cravings I get. I LOVE food!! I can’t help it. I’m not that fat, but I want to look…well NOT FAT. So does anyone have any advice for how I can lose weight without resulting to freakin bulimia?

Answer #1

I think something that helps is never buy food such as chocolate (or whatever you crave) and put it in the cupboard because then you know you are just going to eat it and it’s being unfair on your future self. Me, I’m completely hooked onto chocolate but I’ve learnt to never buy it and store it. If I want chocolate, I walk/jog to the shops (which are inconveniantly quite far away) and eat it on the way back. Also, odn’t completely cut things out, if you try and stop eating then when you do eat not only will you probs eat a lot more but you will gain loads more weight. Slowly reduce the amount of food you crave that you have. Also look for healthier versions of the food you like. Try to find something that you think taste good but are healthy - for example smoothies! I love smoothies and they can be totally healthy. In addition, count the calories you have in a day. As long as you are also having a proper, balanced diet, it’s okay to have some treats as long as you are not eating excessively and you can work it off.

Try the Abs Diet for Women. You can buy it at Wal-Mart for about 13 bucks Hardcover. It’s also available on Walmart.com.

It contains 789 Best on -the-go food choices, the complete supermarket survival guide, 60 six-minute meals for a six-pack along with other tips on diet and exercise.

Here is a little snippet of it:

This at-a-glance guide summarizes the principles of the Abs Diet: The 6-week plan to flatten your stomach and keep you lean for life.

Number of meals - Six a day, spaced relatively evenly throughout the day. Eat snacks 2 hours before large meals.

The ABS DIET POWER 12 - Base most of your meals on these 12 groups of foods. Every meal should have at least two foods from the list.

Almonds and other nuts Beans and Legumes Spinach and other green vegetables

Dairy (fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese) Instant oatmeal (unsweetened, unflavored) Eggs Turkey and other lean meats

Peanut butter Olive oil Whole-grain breads and cereals Extra-protein (whey) powder Rasberries and other berries

(notice every first letter spells out ABS DIET POWER)

Portion size- While many diets center around controlling portion size, the Abs Diet is designed to be self-controlling. The High-fiber, high-protein foods you’ll encounter in this book will fill you up and keep you feeling full for hours. Your body will tell you when it’s time to eat - and when it’s time to stop.

Secret weapons - Each of the ABS DIET POWER 12 has been chosen in part of its stealthy, healthy secret weapons - the nutrients that will help power up your natural fat burners, protect you from illness and injury, and keep you lean and fit for life!

Nutritional ingredients to emphasize - Protein, monosaturated and polyunsaturated fats, fiber, calcium.

Nutritional ingredients to limit - Refined carbohydrates ( or carbs with high glycemic index), saturated fats, trans fats, high-fructose corn syrup.

Alcohol- limit yourself to 2 or 3 drinks per week, to maximize the benefits of the Abs Diet plan.

Ultimate Powerfood - Smoothies. The combination of the calcium and protein in milk, yogurt, and whey powder, combined with the fiber in oatmeal and fruit, makes them one of the more filling and easy options.

Cheating Exercise Program - One meal a week, eat anything you want. Optional for the first 2 weeks. Weeks 3 through 6 incorporate a 20-minute, full-body workout 3 days a week. Emphasis is on strength training, brisk walking, and some abdominal work.

At-Home workout - Gym workouts and at-home workouts are both detailed to excuse-proof your fitness plan.

Abdominal workout - At the beginning of two of your strength training workouts. One exercise for each of the five different parts of your abs.
