Fatty Foods – Ways to Curb Your Cravings

When you eat fatty foods, you get fat. Period! Foods that are high in fat have very little nutritional value.

Many times they are packed full of harmful preservatives that can make you sick.

Most people don’t understand that your body craves nutrition. When you eat nutritious foods, you just feel better. When you eat high fat foods, you feel sluggish and are more prone to sit around watching soaps all day.

When you eat healthy foods instead of fatty foods, it will also help you curb your fat cravings. The more healthy foods you eat, the more apt you will be to move around and get the exercise you need too. Here are some ideas to help you.

Curb Cravings for Fatty Foods



1) Bright lights encourage you to eat more. If you’re in a dim lit room, you’ll eat less. More light makes you eat more!

2) When you are cold, you tend to eat more. Ever been really hot and had a sour stomach? There’s a reason for that. When your body is hot, it signals your brain to slow down food consumption and drink more liquids to hydrate your body to help drop your temperature. When your body temperature drops, your body sends a signal to your brain to eat more to increase body temperature, so stay warmer so you won't overeat!

3) If you’re trying to lose weight, don’t set out fatty foods on your countertops. Keep your countertops clear and you’ll curve temptations and cut down on inbetween meal snacks.

4) Instead of setting out flowers on your table, set out a bowl of fresh fruit instead. It’s a great way to remind yourself to eat more fruit!

5) Replace your plate size. The larger your plate, the more food you’ll be tempted to pack on it. Smaller plates give you the perception of more food on your plate.

6) Keep healthy foods in see through bowls at eye level in the refrigerator. Don’t place them in the fruit bin cause you won’t be able to see them well. Remember, out of sight, out of mind!

7) Take longer to eat your meals. People who take 1/2 hour longer to eat their meals, eat 70% fewer calories.

8) Don’t read the newspaper or watch TV while you eat. The distractions take your focus off of the food you’re consuming. When you don’t think about what you’re putting in your mouth, you will eat more!

9) Keep junk foods out of sight. If you can see them, they are more accessible and tempt you to eat something you might regret later!

10) Buy single size servings of junk foods you like. If you buy larger bags, you’ll save money but you won’t save calories cause you’ll be tempted to eat more than one serving size. When was the last time you rationed and measured out a single portion from a big bag of chips?

The best way to cut fatty foods out of your diet is simply not to buy them in the first place. However, you should reward yourself now and again for a job well done. Just don't keep these kinds of foods around your house (which makes snacking way too easy) and you'll start losing weight the healthy way!
