26 ways to curb your cravings for bad foods
1. Get rid of all the bad foods you crave for!
This is the easiest "most common sense" thing you can do to kill your carvings so...
Just get rid of & throw out all those snacks, candies, donuts and other bad foods that's making you gain weight and even if you still have strong cravings for those bad foods...
The next 22 things below will definitely help curb your cravings & put you on the track to permanent weight loss if you stick to them...
2. Eat more fiber (Raw Fruits & Veggies)Fiber keeps you fuller longer and kills all your sugar cravings. Get fiber by eating fruits (especially apples) & vegetables, whole grains, nuts (almonds are the best) and seeds.
Eating Fiber will help you lose weight faster because it fills up your stomach quicker - for example...
You wouldn't be able to eat 500 calories worth of carrots (or other foods high in fiber) because you'll probably be full by the time you've eaten 200-300 calories worth of carrots so...
Fiber makes you fell full so you eat less and this means you'll lose a lot more weight.
3. Eat more lean proteins
Researches are beginning to realize that the reason high protein diets like the Atkins work is because these diets reduce your appetite decreasing your food cravings making you eat less and lose more weight.
Lean proteins are one of the best foods to eat to get rid of sugar cravings since most sugar cravings come from not eating enough protein.
4. Drink whey proteinWhey protein helps you release appetite suppressing hormones that curb your cravings.
In a recent study... people drank either whey or casein and 90 minutes later they were allowed to eat freely at a buffet table. The people that drank whey protein ate significantly less calories.
5. Drink more WATERWater makes you feel full by tricking your body into thinking it's satisfied or...
6. You can drink a glass of vegetable juice before mealsStudies have shown that drinking vegetable juice before meals suppresses your appetite by making you eat 135 less calories at each meal.
7. Eat some fiber & protein and drink some water at ever meal to...Regulate your blood sugar because... when your blood sugar is out of whack - You'll crave for more food which means you'll eat a lot more and gain more weight.
For example... If you eat some almonds & some fruit for fiber and then eat a lean meat like tuna or baked chicken for protein and if you wash all that down with 12 ounces of water... You'll won't have any food cravings for at least 3-to-5 hours and...
Drinking at least 8 ounces of water with high fiber foods helps the undigested fiber in your stomach expand to make you feel fuller much longer.
8. Eat a small meal every 2-3 hours.Doing this also regulates your blood sugar by giving you a constant supply of energy which really reduces your cravings and kills your big appetite and eating 5 smaller meals throughout the day makes you burn fat faster
9. Don't skip breakfastSkipping breakfast makes your already low morning blood sugar drop even more and this will cause you to have massive food cravings for the rest of the day.
10. Drink Green Tea Instead of Coffee
Green tea is a potent appetite suppressant and it's also an all-natural fat burner that helps you burn up to 43% more fat Play the video below to see how Green Tea makes you lose weight faster...

11. Have an egg for breakfastStudies found that an egg for breakfast helped overweight people feel more full over 24 hours than a bagel-based breakfast of equal calories and the people who ate the egg breakfast ate 330 calories less during the day and after an 8-week study...
The people who had eggs for breakfast instead of bagels lost 65% more weight and they lost 16% more fat and don't worry about your cholesterol levels going up because even though the people in that 8 week study had 2 eggs for breakfast everyday...
Their cholesterol levels were the same as the group that ate bagels after 8 weeks and eating eggs will only raise your HDL cholesterol levels which is the good cholesterol.
12. Lose Belly Fat & have Less Cravings
According to researchers at University if Western Ontario - Belly fat makes you hungry because it makes a hormone called neuropeptide Y that makes you hungry.
13. Don't get stressed out - relax more.When you get stressed out you usually overeat because your body releases a hormone called Cortisol that makes you hungry.
If you have a hard time coping with stress - then a weight loss pill like Cortislim can help block Cortisol or... Look at these 25 ways to relieve stress.
14. Battle PMS cravings with Calcium
Research has shown that women who take calcium supplements or consume at least 1 serving of dairy products daily (like yogurt, skim milk, or low-fat cheese) about 2 weeks before menstruation will significantly lower their cravings during PMS for bad carbs that make them gain weight.
15. Avoid refined or processed carbs (mainly sugar)Refined carbs include heavily processed or high sugar foods like fluffy white breads/bread snacks, regular sodas, most breakfast cereal, sweets, candy, cookies and cakes.
Refined carbs cause your blood sugar levels to rise very fast and then crash very quickly making you crave for more sugar (refined carbs).
Doing numbers 1-4 & especially #5 will help reduce your cravings for refined carbs or sugar.
16. Limit your salt intakeSalt also makes your cravings
worse and too much salt also causes you to gain unwanted water weight

The sweet smell of vanilla tricks you into thinking you already satisfied your cravings for sugars.
18. Eat on blue platesIt may sound weird but the research does show that blue is a natural appetite suppressant so try to use blue silverware, napkins, etc. whenever you eat and on the flip side...
Red, yellow, and orange have been shown to increase your appetite and make you eat more.
19. Make sure you're getting enough sleepNot getting enough Sleep makes your body release an appetite causing hormone called Ghrelin that makes you want to eat more so...
Try to get at least 7 hours of sleep so you can lower your Ghrelin levels and increase the levels of the fat burning & appetite suppressing hormone Leptin.
20. Wait out your cravingsMost cravings pass within 20 minutes because they're often all in your head so you can survive these "fake cravings" by chewing on a some sugarless gum.
21. Use spices instead of sugar
Use spices like cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg for flavor which will help you lose weight instead of sugar that makes you FAT (see #9 here for how spices help you lose weight)
22. Use Tastants
Tastants are calorie free crystals you add to foods to intensify the foods natural scent and once you smell the foods intensified scent...
This will cause your brain to release a hormone called leptin which makes you feel full while also at the same time - your body will slow down the release of the ghrelin hormone which makes you hungry and... You can go here to get Tastants from Sensa
23. Exercise to eat less
Exercising helps your appetite suppressing hormone Leptin work better and Leptin basically tells you that you're full and you need to stop eating and According to a study in the Journal of Sports Science & Medicine...
People who did 30 minutes of weight loss workouts and body sculpting exercises ate 500+ fewer calories a day and to lose 1 pound of FAT every week or 50 pounds a year - you just have to eat 500 fewer calories a day.

I AM 49 YEARS OLD AND 5'1. I WEIGHT 126.7 POUNDS. AM I OVERWEIGHT? I WOULD LIKE TO LOSE 5 MORE POUNDS. I'VE BEEN WALKING FOR A WEEK NOW, I STARTED OFF AT 132 AND NOW I AM 126. I GUESS IF I KEEP ON WALKING AND EAT RIGHT I WILL GET TO MY IDEAL WEIGHT, BUT IS THAT AN IDEAL WEIGHT OR AM I AT A GOOD WEIGHT RIGHT NOW? SEE MY PLAN IS TO LOSE 5 MORE POUNDS SO I CAN AFFORD TO EAT SOME OF THE FOODS THAT I REALLY ENJOY SOMETIMES. I WON'T MAKE IT A HABIT, BUT SOMETHING YOU JUST WANT TO HAVE THA SHRIMP FRIED RICE, OR THAT PHILLY CHEESE STEAK SANDWICH.
Your ideal weight is what you want it to be and i wouldnt worry about the scale - if you like what you see in the mirror then dont worry about the scale

it will take longer for you to lose fat since you are already lean but use this plan to lose last bits of fat
Hi, I just wanted to double check and ask but did you mean to put 154 pounds instead of 54 pounds? The only reason why I ask is because I want to make sure you are healthy. I'm sure you are a beautiful girl and for your height 100-125 lbs would probably be the perfect size for you. I just want to make sure you have a strong body and are eating healthy because I'd hate for you to faint from not getting enough calories per day. I am in no way a doctor but I don't want anything bad to happen to you because you are under weight. Take care and I hope you become strong and healthy.I hope this does not offend you, I am just concerned.
I am a 46 yr old female that is trying to lose 40 pds. I exercise 3-4 times a week but still have issues with losing and curbing my cravings. I am also allergic to wheat so my food choices are limited. Please help!

Hi my name is tash, i'm 5'9(pretty tall) and weigh 189 pounds and wear size 12 pants and large to medium shirts. I have been overweight for a long time now, I use to be 210 but I've lost a little but its starting to come back.

How do I control it, I started my diet yesterday and i have 1 more month to go before school starts. I'm tryin to get to a size 7 and weigh 140. any tips on how to control my addiction. 
Hey Tash,
I am a 48 year old chef and baker and I have had soda around me in this business for over 30 years. I was very addicted to it. Same reason I needed to quit is because of my health and weight and now its been 4 weeks since I have had a soda. First week really sucks but I probably drank at least a gallon of water each day and when the cravings were real bad I would use the crystal light in some of my bottles of water. I really works plus I'm about 10 pounds lighter just because of that. Hope this helps.

Hello!
My name is John and I am 5'-11" and weigh 210lbs. I just recently found your videos on youtube and have already gotten your DVD. At first I was not to sure about signing up for it (scams) and all but I gave it a shot anyways! I am so happy I did for what ever reason you inspired me to exercise! Im not a lot over weight but know I need to lose some. I have started doing your 10 min jumping jacks workout and I thought it was going to be easy now im a bit sore. I have done them for the two days three times a day, how many times a week should I do these should I be taking breaks between days of doing them or is everyday just fine? Just looking for the best way to get results. Plus I have changed how I have been eating. small bowl of cereal, salad W/veggies, and a nice dinner but watching my portions, I am also only drinking water and a little juice. If you have any tips I would appreciate it!
Thank you very much!
you're already doing good but yes...
you can do the JJ workout 2-to-3 times in a row and overall - you want to do those high intense workouts 3-to-4 times a week for a totla of 20-to-40 min.
I received your video... I actually was not expecting that it would be sent.. and I was very excited when I got it. I am now making up my HOW TO LOOK GOOD NAKED plan and inspiration board. I love listening to you and being inspired by you! I have 60 lbs to loose and I am working on the first 30 lbs with a goal of getting it off in 12 weeks. I am on my way to do 10 minutes of jumping jack interval training from your video! Thank you!

Thank you for reading my email. I know everyone has a story and I am accountable for mine. I am 35, 5'4 and weigh 175. I started gaining weight 6 years ago when I had a major surgery. Prior to my surgery i was not over weight if I wanted to lose 5lbs I would take diet pills. After having my surgery I promised myself I would never take another diet pill again and have not. I have lost a lot of my self esteem and I do not know what to do. The only diet I have tried that works is Medifast. I lost 12 lbs but for some reason can not stay focused on it. I pray and know that I am accountable for everything that I do and eat. I have a high stress job, go to school and have a family. I look in the mirror and do not know myself. I have an active lifestyle I just am not sure of what foods to eat to help me lose weight. Besides telling me STOP eating can you help me get on track? A goal I set for myself when I was a child was to run a marathon by the time I was 35. I am 36 in 6 weeks and I can not even run up a set of stairs. I would like to lose 20 lbs by my 36th birthday can you help me? I sincerely want your help. Please and thank you.

What this thread doesn't discuss is the difference between hunger and appetite. this assumes that once hunger is assuaged then appetite automatically decreases and this is not true. Hunger is a physical state, appetite is a mental state. Eating protein and fibre will kill hunger but not appetite. This is why people who consume vast quantities of food continue to do so. The food bulk does not switch off their appetite, only thier hunger.
A friend recommended that I cut up some fresh ginger and simmer it for about 30 minutes and drink it for a cough. The side result was that it suppressed my appetite and apparently it boosts your metabolism.
I am 32 years old with 2 toddlers I am officially obese I am 177 pounds and 5'3 I have had some good results with the adkins diet I lost 13 pounds in the first 2 weeks but it was something I couldnt stick to, I am more ready to commit to a life change but I was wondering if there is someway to break my emotional eating I know this is my downfall but its a habit that I havent been able to break. Any advice?
First of all you are already telling yourself you can't win because you are an "emotional eater" - well guess what...
who isnt an "emotional eater" and we all have conquered it and went on to lose weight in spite of it and so shall you so stop telling yourself "emotional eating" will cause you to fail.
look at this first and don't be like everyone else and just LOOK at it - DO IT and then go here
cant you tell I really want you to lose weight! 
I started this monday and I weighed in today and I have lost 3 lb. already. I decided to not give in to my emotional eating and have replaced my urges with raw fruit instead of cakes and chocolate. and I count this as one of my five small meals a day. This is an example of what ive been eating throughout the day,
Breakfast 1 c. Coffee w/ splenda
1 boiled egg
small bananna
Water 8oz
Lunch 4oz. baked chicken
8oz greenbeans
small apple
Water 16 oz
Snack 1/2 cup of fresh pinapple
8oz water
Dinner 6oz grilled ribeye
1cup raw cucumbers and tomatoes topped with italian dressing
water 16oz
Snack prepackaged apple chips with lowfat yogurt dip (100 calorie pack)
My craving are satisfied, I wonder if I should cut back on some of the fruit since it could be to many carbs in them?
RAW fruit is okay
hello everyone,
i have a problem with sleeping at night and eating. i fall aslepp but exactly in 1.5 hours to 2 im wide awake and starving and cravinf sweets only its almost evry night like that past 6 months. sometimes during the day my diet is good but it all depends on my crazy schedule. please help...
start off with the tips on this page (more water and fiber + protein) but what are you eating NOW during the day
Gahh I don't know what this is
ok I'm having a problem with I don't
know if it's hunger or cravings. I eat
well not to much and not to little.
But right know I'm having this almost
like a steady low burn in my stomach (
it's not a stomach ache) Im not nececerly
hungry either. I have unusual amount of saliva.
I am also oddlt highly focused on my senses.
I tried eating a little more chicken of what I had earlier
it helped bur it came back
next I had a half a melon wich helped
but it came back!
Then I drank gateorade wich made it worse..
Help!
I can live with it but I really want to knoe what in the world is happening my stomach area is also warm
sounds like heart burn or indigestion try some tums or rolaids if the problem persists I would see a physician
Google the symptoms for H. Pylori. It is a bacteria that lives in the stomach and causes much trouble.
If you think it is H. Pylori, you must take antibiotics to get rid of the bacteria so it will not cause further damage...
Hope you feel better!
Forgot to mention, Adrian, I amd 5'5 and my weight is 203lbs. BMI says I am obese. I am slightly active doing Callanetics and also, riding my bike. Before cycling and Callanetics, I was 200lbs and my weight increased. I hope it was due to muscle! Anyway, I have only been doing these activities for less than a month. My jeans are slightly looser. My goal is to put away my size 12 clothes and happily welcome size 8. My question again is will my current exercise regimen interfere with your suggestions? I want to put your plan into action, too. I want to be very toned, shapely, and fit...wearing my new size 8 wardrobe!
If you look better and clothes fit better and you gained weight then more than likely you gained sexier leaner muscle and your current plan won't interfere with mine just make sure you dont do too much
i am 5'11 and weigh 155lbs i always feel sick to my stomach when i look at myself in the mirror.... my goal weight is 135lbs is there a way that i can lose that fast? like a month or so?
