5 Diet Tips to Curb Cravings and Lessen Appetite

Last week, I was standing at the back of the bus just passing Colorado Blvd. It was a hot 100 degrees outside. I was coming home late in the afternoon after helping set up for an event. Because of car problems I was taking the good ole' public transportation.

I got off one stop early. No, I didn't want to add more walking into my day (however, that doesn't hurt) but because I wanted to avoid a favorite Boba (tapioca) drink place which is a mostly high in sugar, empty calories beverage. I got off a stop early and had no food places that entice me to eat or drink something that wasn't healthy for me.

Do you have any specific junk foods you crave often? What ever it may be, whether an ice cream shop or a pizza place, be aware of your diet GPS. I have a sweet tooth so I watch my surrounding of food places. What can you do? Well, you can change your route or take the highway home where you avoid those spots. I'm good when my diet GPS is on!

I'm no cookie monster. I swear! I do have my share of cravings. Some, if not most, junk foods (salty, fatty sugary stuff) make you crave your brain to eat more. Yes! So it's not entirely your fault.
What to do: For the next several weeks, cut your junk food cravings by 2 portions off your normal serving size. Do it slowly.
