Do you think that a "gross out" diet would work?

Question:

When you start to crave some foods, you think of something totally disgusting and then lose your appetite?

Answers:
That is called aversion treatment. It may work sometimes, but you are reinforcing negative associations with food and in the end you will return to your old habits. A better approach would be to take "baby steps" in your nutrition goals. For example: try to substitute healthy foods for unhealthy foods ( a piece of fresh fruit instead of a candy bar, turkey sandwich on whole wheat instead of a cheeseburger, a piece of baked chicken and a salad instead of pizza). Remember to eat 4 to 5 small healthy meals daily instead of skipping meals (starvation actually slows your metabolism). Try to eat healthy 5 to 6 days a week and have 1 "free day" every week instead of trying to be "perfect" all the time. You can enjoy food and be happy with your choices as long as you don't go to extremes every time you feel guilty. Food is pleasurable so enjoy!

nooo.. that makes you lose your entire appetite.

due to a study, cravings last 16 minutes.

if you can beat that, then congrats!

Not really because you might get used to thinking those things that you might just think it's nothing anymore.
