Food Cravings

Did you know that overcoming food cravings has NOTHING to do with will power?  

When abdominal fat cells are enlarged in overweight and obese individuals, the complex system of appetite control becomes altered. The key factor that leads to this disruption is insulin resistance. Resistance to the hormone insulin sets the stage for intense food cravings. So how do you improve blood sugar control and insulin resistance? 

Here are 7 key steps:
Eat a low-glycemic-load diet, try a viscous fiber supplement, take a chromium supplement which is necessary for insulin to work properly, get a handle on stress, ensure that you never really get hungry by consuming low-calorie snacks such as fresh vegetables and fruits between meals, engage in physical exercise for a least 30 minutes everyday, and lastly plan your daily menu in advance.

Don’t let food cravings get the best of you. Take charge!
