Curb your appetite

People generally have cravings for many of the typically unhealthy foods. Stress seems to bring cravings on and emotional eating is a common diet breaker. When we are stressed or emotional, our bodies crave foods such as sweets, because they cause the release of pleasure-inducing chemicals in the brain. Eating these foods is a way to feel better temporarily, but also wrecks diets.

There are several ways to curb appetite and decrease emotional eating and food cravings. Here are a few tips to get you started:

• Do not skip breakfast. Breakfast kick starts the metabolism and can prevent overeating as afternoon comes around.
• Drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Thirst is often mistaken for hunger.
• Make sure to get at least a little exercise every day - which helps counteract mindless eating. Exercise also decreases stress, which is one of the causes of emotional eating.
• Eat smaller meals and spread them out through the day. This helps keep the metabolism stoked and lessens the time between eating.
