What helps me with unshakeable food craving is eatin something nutritious every 2 to 3 hours. This also keeps your metabolism up.

Well my tip is water. Honestly when you feel hungry drink 16 oz of water ( not diet pop or juice) and wait 20 minutes. If you still feel hungry then find a high fiber or high protein snack and have 1 serving. I prefer celery sticks, peanut butter and raisins, it takes me back to child hood. Or if you'd like a small piece of toast with peanut butter. Normally when you think you're hungry you are really just thirsty.

I am in the same boat around 150 trying to get to 120.
Good luck and friend me if you need motivation.

Always when I had food cravings, water was and is the best medicine. Keep yourself busy and don't think about food all the time :-)

The best way to stop the food craving is to eat the food and exercise afterwards i.e walking etc. This way you have enjoyed what you have eaten, gained more points and you feel better in the end.

Tip, sometimes, people around us deter us from eating what we want and then we binge on the things that is not good for us... Beware of these people...

Good luck in your goal:happy:

Perhaps you're not eating enough high quality nutritious food during the day ... so you're starving at dinnertime.

I find its all a mind game... if your mind is thinking "ooh i'm on a diet i cant have that" then i find it makes you want that item of food even more!! I tend to try not to think about food and drink plenty of water then i enjoy my meal more when it comes to it. Other way is to have healthy snacks to hand, at least that way your taming yourself
