How to Handle Food Cravings

Food cravings can become overwhelming and lead to overindulgence and feelings of guilt, especially when people follow restrictive diets or completely cut out groups of foods. You can maintain foods you enjoy eating by having a balanced eating plan. For example, if you sometimes crave chocolate, try to eat dark chocolate in small amounts so you're less likely to overeat it. Another tip includes scheduling your snacks. Try to keep portable, nutrient-dense snacks in your desk, backpack or car. One more thought is to keep a craving journal. Note the time of day your craving appeared, how long it lasted, the food you craved, and how you handled the situation. All of these are good ideas to help handle food cravings.
