Best Ways to Control Cravings

Strategy #1: Exercise
Yet another reason to do a workout – activity increases endorphin levels and relieves stress. You’ll feel inspired and good about yourself, and you’ll naturally decrease your food cravings.

Strategy #2: Get a Massage
A relaxing rubdown may help relieve anxiety, depression and sleep problems. It can also clear your mind of those food-filled fantasies.

Strategy #3: Read a Book, Newspaper or Magazine
Lose yourself in a novel or catch up on the news of the day. Even a mindless flip through a magazine will keep your mind – and your hands – on things other than food.

Strategy #4: Listen to Relaxing Music
Studies have shown that soothing tunes can decrease the production of a substance called cortisol, which can lead to carbohydrate cravings. Music can also increase relaxation, relieve stress and provide more clarity and energy

Strategy #5: Take a Bath with Aromatherapy Oils of citronella, eucalyptus, sage, lavender and chamomile added to a bath can relax you. Think of this as a special indulgence that won’t leave you feeling guilty.
