People tend to crave junk food a lot.
I personally believe this to be the main reason it can be so hard to stick to a healthy diet.
Cravings are driven by the brain’s need for “reward” – not the body’s need for food.
IF you can have one bite and stop there, then indulging a little when you get a craving is absolutely fine.
But if you tend to binge and overeat as soon as you get a taste of sugary foods, then giving in to the cravings is the worst thing you can do.
Here is a simple 3-step plan to stop sugar cravings.
You can do one of them. If one doesn’t work, you can do two… or all three.
1. If at All Hungry, Eat a Meal
