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.
