Managing Food Cravings
Having a healthy diet can definitely be a challenge. When you are craving food that you do not think you should eat, remember how to disarm your cravings with the 5 D’s.
• Delay- Wait 10 minutes before you eat anything and see if you are still hungry.
• Distract- Turn your mind away from food and concentrate on something else.
• Distance- Physically remove yourself from the temptation.
• Determine- Really think about how much you want that particular food.
• Decide- If you do eat it know how much you are going to eat; moderation is key and remember to enjoy it!
For six weeks between Thanksgiving and New Years, 52 members challenged themselves to not gain any weight and maybe even lose a few pounds. Through portion control, weekly weigh-ins, keeping a food journal, and maintaining their exercise regimen, many received the results that they had hoped for. The average weight loss for the six week challenge was 3 pounds which is an amazing accomplishment especially over the holidays! Please help me in congratulating the following winners:
