hey, if anybody here has problems with cravings, i hope my advice will help. Well i used to have a huge problem with cravings...then i found out a way to stop it. First of all, learn to say no. If sum 1 offers you sum type of fattening food, dont take it if ur not hungry or u just want it because its like the best food ever and u just have to eat it whether ur hungry or not. And another thing...if u have a craving for junk food or n e thing..you should try and wait at least 10-15min., after that just ask urself "do i still want it?" if so, just find something a little healthier like an apple or maybe if u want..a nice big bowl of salad or wait another 10-15min. Oh and try not to eat ur main meals too fast (with time that is). Like after breakfast wait 2-3 hours before you eat again. (but if ur stomach is growling always eat something just not too fattening) OH and 1 more thing...try to make a habit of cutting portions..it helps.
