Annslee has provided some tips to reduce cravings based on lifestyle modifications. Cravings may be telling you one of three things – lack of sleep, unbalanced diet, or dehydration. Each trigger can be linked to the type of food you crave. If craving salty foods, your body may be dehydrated, as sodium is needed to balance our body’s fluids and electrolytes. If craving fatty foods, sleep deprivation may be the cause which can lead to eating 384 extra calories a day. Choose healthy fats like avocado, nuts, nut butters, seeds and fish. If craving sugary foods, you may not be getting enough balance in your diet. Sugary foods decrease the palate for fruits and vegetables. A diet high in refined sugars (white bread, pasta, rice, sugary cereal, ice cream, etc,) leads to a roller coaster in blood sugar resulting in cravings for sugary food. Introduce unprocessed whole foods to help taste buds adjust.
