Every overweight person wants to lose weight but struggles to control their cravings. When you arrive home from work after a tiring day, all you see is food and you just lose control and regret later. This is the most common problem a person faces in his life and that is why I’m giving you 5 tips to control your cravings, follow these and you will definitely notice improvements in your eating habits

Eat a Solid Breakfast • There is a reason to why breakfast is considered as the most important meal of the day. If you eat a solid breakfast, you won’t get cravings for junk food in lunch, you can simply eat a healthy lunch. You should eat foods that are high in complex carbohydrates (oats, muesli, whole wheat chapatti, brown rice, etc.) combined with a good amount of protein (egg whites, omelet, peanut butter, etc.) which make you stay full for a longer period of time and supply energy to your body

Drink more water • You’ve probably heard this a lot and you must be familiar with the benefits that come with drinking adequate water. But, you should also know that by drinking more water, you can keep your stomach half full that will substantially lower your cravings for the chocolates kept at your colleague’s desk and you may just survive the day without giving in

Eat slowly • People these days have developed a habit of eating really fast, without even chewing the food properly. Sometimes you’re really late for work or sometimes it’s just your habit of eating fast. As a result, you never really address and satisfy your hunger and you overeat. Studies have shown that if a person eats slowly, he might get tricked into believing that he is full before he actually gets full. It happens because you’ve spent significant time on eating slowly and you’ve satisfied your mind that you are full.

This way, you satisfy your insatiable hunger and stop yourself from overeating

Eat Frequently • Suppose if you had a good breakfast one day, and went to work. That day, you did not eat anything else, you even skipped lunch. What will happen at that night? You will have nightmares of your favorite dishes and drive straight to your favorite restaurant to have an exotic meal. You did not plan on eating out that day, still, you went to eat. That happened because you made your body starve for too long. Instead, if you had eaten 56 small good meals throughout the day, you would not have felt that insatiable hunger at night and you could have easily saved yourself from that unplanned meal. You can keep quick snacks with you such as fruits, almonds, peanuts, protein bars, etc., to eat something every 2-3 hours.
