Question:
Answers:
When you don't eat really GOOD nutrition, your body has cravings. The mind doesn't know what the body wants, but the BODY DOES.
You need to take in lots of GOOD NUTRITION like RAW FRUIT AND RAW VEGETABLES of all kinds. Your cravings will stop when you start getting good food.
Read the following and do as much as you can.
I hope it helps.
I think it would help if you could have a change in your way of thinking. A more positive attitude will help you feel better and get healthy faster. Using affirmations is one way to change your mind. I have used the following affirmation with some of my clients and they did very well. ''I, (say your name), am at my perfect weight. I look and feel fantastic.'' Write that down 21 times a day for 21 days. Start telling yourself positive things about yourself like, ''I am getting better and better every day!'' or ''Everything I eat makes me thin and healthy.''
This will help. If you have negative thoughts when you write down the affirmation, write down everything that comes into your mind. Then write down the affirmation again. After a while your mind will start to agree with you.
Also, you need to eat healthy and exercise. Following is my standard answer to everyone who wants to lose weight. It's a lot of information but I'm sure it will help you. Good luck with your goal! You can do it.
*If want to get fit and/or lose weight, here's my Weight Loss Program through Body Building and Nutrition. It works! First, don't Use Diet Pills. They are bad for you. Most of them are just a scam or they are addictive. Counting calories is a pain in the neck. It will drive you nuts. But, losing weight is simple. You just have to do the right things.
*(If you are older and have not exercised in many years you should see your doctor and have a stress test done to be sure your heart is ok before starting this program. Also, walking eveyday is a good lifelong practice.)
*Fad diets sometimes work but, you can be sure that at least 25% of the weight you lose will be muscle. Then when you stop the diet you will gain back all of the weight you lost but no muscle. So, you will have 25% more fat than you did before! Fad diets just aren't worth the bother.
*Fasting or skipping meals will teach your body that famine is common in your world and your body will begin to store more fat to get you through the next period when food is not available. It's better to eat healthy foods often to teach your body that food is plentiful and that there is no need to store calories as fat. Eat a vegetablw or frui every two hours.
*Here's a simple trick that can help you lose weight without doing anything else. Drink a litre of water as soon as you wake up in the morning and then drink two more throughout the day. You'll notice a difference the first month.
*Here's another trick that works. For every pound of muscle that you add, your body will burn 3000 calories (1lb) of fat every day. That means that just by having an extra pound of muscle on your body you will burn a pound of fat every day! So, add muscle!
*This is the fastest way to add a pound of muscle. Squats and Pushups! You do them on alternate days; squats one day, pushups the next. And you do them SuperSlow style. That is, you do the easy part twice as slow as the hard part. That way you fatigue the muscles quickly. Then you rest the muscles for 48 hours which gives the body a chance to make new muscles.
*Squats should be done with a wide stance and all the way to the floor. Pushups the with palms shoulder width apart and all the way to the floor, then all the way up. Use the full range of motion of the muscle group you are trying to develop. If you are too weak to do pushups, try them with your knees on the floor or do them with your feet on the floor and your hands an the bed.
*The idea is to tire the muscles out completely so do a set of squats until you can't do another, then rest for a couple of minutes and do it again. Do that 3 times and you're done for the day. The following day, don't do squats but do pushups. Do them the same way, going down twice as slow as you come up.
*You will lose weight fast, unless you add more junk food and fat to your diet. Instead, eat at least 5 to 7 different raw vegetables and fruits every day. Cut out anything that comes in a bag, box, can, bottle or any kind of package. In other words, cut out all processed foods, soft drinks and sweets. Eat more grains and less red meat. Check out the Food Pyramid.
*If you really want to give your body the best possible chance to be healthy and fat free, go to infinity2.com (Link at bottom of page) and order their weight loss formula and Essentials for Life. That will give you all the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and probiotics that your body needs and will keep you feeling better and healthier. They also have a Proteabolic Mass Formula for serious athletes who want to build muscle mass quickly and safely.
*Weight loss without exercise is not good. You need to eat healthy, exercise and get your rest. You will feel better, look better and be healthier. Try it for a week. You will notice a difference. You will feel better and that will motivate you to continue.
*Losing weight only in specific areas of the body is impossible. You can't just lose weight around the belly, for instance. So, if you want tight, rippled abs, do crunches and leg raises every other day the way I described above.
*One last point, stretching is essential for a number of reasons. Pick up a copy of ''Stretching'' by Bob Anderson. Read the intro and understand his reasoning before you do the exercisis. Good luck!

One of the best things I did was to stop bringing those types of foods into my house.
The other thing I did was replace them with healthy foods and eat smaller portions more often, like every 2 to 3 hours.
Every day or so, I would "treat" myself to a small chocolate candy or something else that I craved. After awhile, you're body will realize that you're not going to deprive it of the "treats" and the cravings will get less and less.
just eat lots and lots of fruit and if you lay off the sweets long enough you will be able to stand the temptation you just hav to hav the will power!
What you are achieving by eating sweets is an empty full...try something like nuts, seeds, cheese, etc. Cheese is a good filler. If you keep the sweets away, then you'll have less chances of over-indulging...just make sure to limit and balance your snacks with fitness, and healthy choices.
Keep your mind busy on other things that you enjoy very much. a hobby. When you get one of those cravings, take a walk and put your mind on the beauty of your surroundings and how you can accomplish your goals. Self-discipline. You can do it!
my moms personal trainer used to tell her when you craved sweets and chocolate that you should brush your teeth
Imagine the chocolate is covered in mold, then you won't want to eat it.
Honey, I have the same problem...you are not alone!! I am a chocoholic BIG time! hehe! I love sugary stuff!
you should not stop eating...or else you would only crave for more if u starve. You should lessen your food intake though..HOW? Drink more water and juice...eat more fiber..like cereals, vegetables and fruits. Fiber feels heavier in the stomach so you wont feel hungry in a longer time. Chocolates? Discipline yourself if your in front of chocolates...or better yet, don't even look at it...
there is this hypnotists in england i cant rememeber his name.. yes i can lol paul mckenner and he said that imagine your favourite foods have your worst nightmare inh them like there made of poo or something disguisting and it will soon make yoiu stop!! lol eat babnanas as well because they contain natural sugar and this will help cravings!
Work in bakery shop .You will get tired of eatng snacks from there and you will feel to get rid of them when you see snacks , chocolates hereafter.
Easy, just store those snacks away.
I've several tried & tested methods.
1) friend used extreme measures, coz. he had to go an operations so no food etc. He will separate his choco. packs, repack in diff. bags/boxes resealed & store his chocs. supplies in diff. corners of the house.
2) don't totally stopped. We just take less & store snacks away so we won't always see them. Whn we eat we take time to eat it slowly. Some of us switched to chewing gums, it keeps our mouth busy. We also drink loads of water.
3) Some for every snack they take, they will do a certain amount of exercise. Thus d'snack's like a reward/motivation.
4) Another method is, instead of taking chocolates. Make yourself a jug of warm hot choco. subsitute it wth milk + honey instead of sugar. Drink it bit by bit, it should last longer.
Whn consuming chocolates, eat it slowly to savior it's taste.
Don't do work, watch tv or etc. tht way chocs. maximized.
5) this is a pretty die hard method, another friend. Stopped eating anythg else for 3days & during those days just eat chocolates only. Nothing but various types of chocos. till she got so sick of it.
