I just tried a table spoon of peanut butter! ... better than a burger n curly fies n chocolate! ( mmmmmm)
{its all just in my head} >.< these are the moments where i could be weak... This seems like a harsh fight!0 -
Fast food should work.0

I had a fast food craving last week. So I made vegetable "fries" (stay with me here). I put green beans and fine asparagus tips into a bowl with a teaspoon of oil, a crushed clove of garlic and some salt. Mixed it all up so the veg were evenly coated, then tipped it out onto a baking sheet and put it in a med/hot oven so about 8 minutes. They were crunchy and so delicious, I ate the lot!!0

I'm lactose intolerant but have also found that lactose free milk is heaps lower in calories an doesn't taste too different, you could still have the odd milkshake with it

Make a juicy burger with lean beef and/or lean turkey. Bake some sweet potato fries, or turnips, green beans, whatever veggie you wish to sub for fries. Even have red potatoes cubed and roasted if nothing else will do...just watch portion.0

If your craving it, eat it. Just order the smallest sizes available. Get a Jr. burger, a kids size fries and a kids size shake - or share it with someone. Eat a big salad and some fruit with it to fill you up. Don't deprive yourself or you'll go mad - or stop trying. I've found that eating small amounts of things you want actually helps in the weight loss process. Eat mainly healthy foods - but allow yourself splurges now and then. The rest of the day eat as much healthy, low fat stuff as you can.0

It was the grease n salt.. lol wow that sounds nasty now that iv got over it!! ithink the peanut hutter helped..0
-
I always aim to eat the proper portions.. the thing is i hardly eat fast food! But you are right i need to becareful i dont want to binge or something!0
-
ive been dying for a cheeseburger lately haha I usually just cave and eat what im craving or try to make something healthier but similar, for instance i might make a portobella burger or try to jack up one of my veggie burgers0
-
What about home made? I find if I eat a burger with a whole wheat bun and some store bought oven cooked fries do the trick. It's healthier than fast food, but it's similar....kinda.
I am addicted to grease myself, I feel your pain!0 -
I eat a Boca Burger and baked tater tots...It's not just for us vegetarians! They are really really good! Try it!

i usually crave sweets... not fast food. but theres always healthy versions of food!! some of my favourites:
casein ice cream
"spaghetti" with lean ground turkey and spaghetti squash
egg white pizza
chocolate protein pancake with cocao nibs

Make a turkey or black bean burger! Parsnip or carrot fries are totally yummy. You could also just bake some potato fries!0
-
I always crave sugar, and earlier I was craving it really badly! I don't keep anything naughty in the flat as I used to binge a lot.
Anyway... I had a spoon of PNB with chocolate dessert sauce on top with a cup of tea. Worked a treat 0 -
Go get a kid's meal. Craving won't go away with the food. Just steer clear of the shake, even a small of those is not good.0
-
try a burger, no bun with butter and your favorite fixings.....wonderful!0
-
My co-worker told me about the boco burgers too! he loves them! .. the thing is .. is i dont want to eat hanburger fries and shake! well... i do but i know its bad unless i have time to make it homemade! in that id rather eat a turkey burger with all of the topings wrapped in lettuce like a pocket! Thank you for all of the ideas! am looking for things to basically take my craving off of something at that moment that i wont he able to work it off..0
-
cruskits with cheese and turkey are awesome and low carb n really tasty... mini quiches, oat muffins or banana muffins is another good one... a sliced of toasted fruit toast is another fav of mine... yoghurt.. have a jelly bean and only 1 lol drink water0
-
The only cure that works for me is getting up and DOING something...whether it be clean my room, play with the cat, read a book, go to the gym anything. Ik it's tough but you can do it0
-
That pancake looks verry satisfying! the reat look very yummy as well.. where do you get the recipes from¡0
-
Sometimes I just have a cup of cocoa and that seems to cure my craving for whatever..... Good luck!!0

Best way not crave fast food is to preplan a day where put meal lunch with fast food. Normally you just don't care after a while though it makes 1 meal fun. Sunday is Arbys day

If I want fast food, I have it. I just make smarter choices that I might have before. I don't get a combo meal with fries and a soft drink. I get the burger and eat it with water to drink, or a sugar-free iced tea. I regularly get a grilled chicken salad from The Habit and semi-regularly get a garlic Mahi Mahi healthier plate from L&L Hawaiian. They are all a lot less calories than what I might have ordered before.
I figure out what I want before I go get it, with the nutrition information online and I plug it into my food diary to make sure I won't go over for the day.
I see this as a lifestyle change, not a diet that I'm giving up everything I might like. The best way, for me at least, is to incorporate things like fast food in a moderate and reasonable way to make this an easy change in which I don't feel constantly deprived and really go on a binge (except maybe one day a month as a special cheat/treat day).0 -

I do the same thing because its hard with my job to not do fast food occasionally. I also ask for apples instead of fries which takes out 400ish of the calories! No cheese, no mayo etc.
This is weird.. you won't believe it ... MCDONALDS (of all places) has a grilled chicken sandwich on wheat that is pretty good around 300 calories if you get it plain. Then 15 calories for the apples - not too shabby.0 -
A salad with avocado on it. I figure that if i'm craving fat, i'll give in a little and have some avocado fat.0
-
Whenever I am craving something particularly unhealthy, I try logging it first to see what it does to my numbers for the day/ week. That is usually all I need to lose the craving. Just seeing how unhealthy most fast food is, can be an excellent motivator.0
-
Peanut butter helped for the exact same reason, very high fat content.It was the grease n salt.. lol wow that sounds nasty now that iv got over it!! ithink the peanut hutter helped..0 -
Park 3 miles away from the fast food joint and walk there to get it. The walk there and back should burn around 500-600 calories, easily. That is, if you have about 2 1/2 hours on your hands.0
