Afternoon cravings

Christin09

Does anyone else feel like the worst cravings come after lunch?!? I ate lunch and was extremely satisfied but now, an hour later I am craving something else. I drink plenty of water so its not thirst... I think its either gum or chocolate that I need and I am trying to give up both right now...

Anyone else feel this way?

Absolutely! I have a sweet tooth just horrible. I have this craving after lunch AND dinner. I had been giving in but in small doses as long as it fit in my daily calorie count, but now that I have hit a plateau and am not losing inches in my thighs I am going to give up the chocolate. I had to throw a bunch of stuff away to avoid the cheating.

Yes! Actually just posted a topic on what I do to bypass my cravings...umm when I just can't stand it I try to eat something that is high in protein and high in fiber. One thing that you body may be lackign (don't know haven't checked your diary) is protein...it will help you get through the day longer without eating more food. Another thing I will do is the 100 cal packs. Or a LUNA bar. Also try spacing out your meals differently. I eat breakfast at my desk at work, then eat a late lunch, then eat a late supper...it seems to hold me over where I don't even need snacks.

Good Luck!

I am the same way. I ate lunch at 1:00 and my belly is growling now. I've found that fruity flavored tea (Salada White tea Asian Plum) takes the edge off until my snack at 4:00.
