Curb Your Carb Cravings

in 3 easy steps:

The best weight plan does all of the following and more:

• CURBS your cravings for carbs
• gives you energy
• provides the nutrients you need
• keeps your hunger satisfied
• lets you eat foods you like
• lets you drop weight at a reasonable pace
• makes you feel good about yourself

Being knowledgable increases the odds of being successful on any weight program. Cravings are real.  Sometimes they are caused by emotions or stress and sometimes they are real physical needs your body is trying to meet. One thing is for sure - they do not just go away on their own.

Eating healthy and exercising can greatly reduce carb cravings. Cravings are real and have to be planned for in order to be successful in attaining your ideal weight.

Step 1:  Educate yourself.

The Truth about Carbs

Carbohydrates have 4 calories per gram. It is not a matter of not eating carbs, it is knowing which ones to eat and how much. Knowing the different types of carbohydrates and how they affect blood sugar is important as well. 

Basically, there are two types of carbohydrates - simple and complex.  Simple carbs include table sugar, fructose, and lactose.  Stevia and Xylitol are not included in this list of simple carbs.

Some recent studies have shown that simple sugars and high fructose corn syrup turn to fat in the body faster. They also give a quick burst of energy and then lead to a big drop in energy.  Simple carbs are more likely to lead to a big spike in blood sugar levels.

Complex carbs include starchy vegetables and fruits, high fiber starches, and whole grains.  The main thing to know is that these complex carbs take much longer than the simple carbs to break down in the body. 

It is good to eat complex carbs and reduce simple carbs as much as possible. It is even better to combine the complex carb with a little protein.

Step 2:  Make complex carbs handy and available.

Examples of Good Carbs 

• Apple with peanut butter
• Nuts
• Baked tortilla chips
• High fiber crackers
• Healthy cereal
• Hummus

Complex carbs are essential for your health. Find more good foods and easy to make daily menus at Strip that Fat.

Step 3: Have a plan and follow it.

Establish New Habits

For a new action to become a habit, it takes at least 30 days of repetition.  Here are some ideas that can help.

• Keep all "bad" carbs (simple carbohydrates) out of the house and not easily attainable.
• Drink water when experiencing a craving. Thirst can be mistaken for hunger.
• Establish mini-goals to limit the simple carbs from your diet.
• Combine protein with small amounts of high fiber carbs
• Take a good multi-vitamin 
•  Eat only whole wheat or higher fiber carbs (Complex Carbs)
• Know your limititations and know when to phone a friend for support. 
• Choose fiber-rich fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
• Choose foods and beverages with no added sugars or sweeteners.

If your plan is well thought out, you will know what your daily eating menu is and how you can modify it if needed.  If someone brings free pastries to work once in a while, then you have to know yourself.  If you eat one, can you stop?  If you eat one, will it cause a sugar addiction?  If someone brings in pastries everyday, then you have to have an alternative plan.  Have a sugar free snack that you really love on hand.  In other words, think about the stoppers that usually cause you to fail and have a backup plan. 

Most importantly, do not quit because you eat something that is not on your "diet."  You can eat what you want in moderation.  You now choose to eat healthy.  

Remember everyone has tough days. Eating pizza or cake does not mean you have to give up.  Just reset your goals and resume your new eating habits the very next day. 

If you are going to lose weight, then you have got to change your habits. 

If you are going to keep the weight off, then these new habits must become a way of life.
