How To Say Goodbye To Cravings
■Eat every 2-3 hours. When you aren't hungry, you won't have food cravings.
■Eat complex carbohydrates and lean protein in every meal. These foods digest slowly to keep your metabolism stable.
■Craving chocolate? Try a chocolate flavored protein shake to give you the taste without the unnecessary calories.
■Drink 1-2 gallons of water throughout the day. Try adding some Xtend to it. You'll get a nice flavor and it will keep you feeling full.
■Avoid eating sugary foods. Your blood sugar levels will spike and your body will want to maintain that level with sugary foods.
■Avoid fruits. They are healthy, but are also full of sugar.
■Eat green vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus, lettuce, spinach and cabbage. They're low in calories and high in vitamins.
How To Get Fat-Burning Meals At Restaurants
■Bring your own food when you go out to eat with friends.
■At restaurants, try checking menus for plain chicken or steak that is grilled and not fried.
■Request a few more napkins to absorb any extra oils on your food.
■Measure your portion size against your fist. Any extra you can take home for another meal or give it to someone else.
■Drink water, coffee or tea. Coffee and tea shouldn't have any added sugar or cream.
■Don't forget to do your daily cardio.
