The importance of satisfy cravings in diets


It's normal that when we are on a diet is precisely what we want its the food that its banned, because to be honest we are not enthusiastic about a broccoli as much as the idea of eating an ice cream with a layer of chocolate or French bread just out of the oven! But calm, whatever your weakness is something that can be controlled and forgiving. On the one who repeatedly break your diet plan will not affect much on your weight, unless you really miss the control and you go out completely from your system.

When we eat any of these cravings, our organism is asking the sensory properties that satisfy our palate, Activating our brains and sensory knowledge of that particular food.


It's very common to think that cravings are a nutritional need, because if the body calls for them, its for something .... But if true, we love spinach! But it is not. This is very important to know because not everything we asked that the body must pass it, because it may be due to other factors. The best thing is to eat every 3 hours, to keep the body nourished and not hungry, because if this is carried to the limit of hunger is more likely to eat the first thing that will put you ahead.

In the evenings it is more common the need for something rich off the diet, try to eat some crackers, or a few strawberries with a light touch of chocolate and not deprive your body.

A very helpful tool to avoid the cravings is to recognize that craving is (sweet, salty, creamy) and try to please the body with the most healthy version of it. If it is something sweet, go for the fruit is the best option, though if you are hungry you will wantsomething sweet to recover energy quickly. A fruit with a touch of cinnamon will fall you very well, cinnamon has a very good effect in the mouth that gives a different taste sensation in the fruit.

If the craving is salty, avoid sodium, because this can be very damaging. Opt for a few almonds or merey

If it is creamy, try to get a dressing in olive oil or light cream.

If it is carbohydrates, choose whole wheat bread, Swedish bread with cream cheese, pita bread, oats, brown rice.

The most important thing is to understand that it can turn over cravings, but no ban a good piece of pizza or a basket of chocolate, because at the time that we limit something, the stronger the desire to obtain it. Be smart, listen to your body, do not be fooled, do not be justified, learn, think and please your body from time to time.
