Stop Cravings And Stop Fat Storage - 5 Proven Steps
Your cravings don't have to control you. With a little patience and effort, you can stop your cravings and have power over your eating so that you can lose weight, have more energy, and stop your body from storing fat.
Here are the 5 steps to stop your cravings and stop fat storage:
1. Eat Healthy Foods - Your body needs nutrition in order to create healthy vital cells and stop fat storage. Your body is craving healthy, natural foods because that's what it needs to make new healthy cells.. And as long as you are in this “starvation mode” your body will continue to send out “craving signals” in order get you to eat SOMETHING.
When you eat healthy foods, your body gets out of desperation and fat storage mode and the cravings will get less and less intense because your body is getting it's nutritional needs met.
But the cravings can still come back.. Once you have a cheat meal, the cravings will come right back just as strong (or even stronger). You need to keep going to the next step in order to stop cravings completely..
2. Cut out sugar and chemicals - when you eat processed foods that are full of sugar and artificial chemicals, you are spiking your blood sugar WAY too high. This is telling your body to “store fat” and causing you to have an energy CRASH on the other side.
When you CRASH, you get cravings. And this leads you to eat MORE sugar and artificial chemicals to get the “food high” back.
Jump off of the sugar and chemical roller coaster and STABILIZE your blood sugar so you will stop storing fat and stop having cravings.
The first two steps are all about getting the needs of your physical body handled because you cannot fight against your body and expect to win. When you get these first two steps down, if the cravings haven't stopped then it's not coming from your physical body.. Now that we've handled the physical needs of your body in control, it's time to explore the deeper issues behind cravings.
3. Find healthy ways to express your emotions - emotional eating is very real and very common in our culture. It's very popular in movies and in parenting to “run to sugar” as soon as you feel down or depressed..
In order to end your emotional cravings, you need to learn how to heal your heart and process your emotions in healthy, productive, and self-nurturing ways.
4. Have positive thoughts to replace for negative ones - if you're following these first 3 steps and your cravings are still controlling you, then it's time to go even deeper.
Where else could this craving be coming from? Why do these cravings keep coming back?
Spend some time listening to the answers to these questions, and then try new ways to fulfill yourself when you are having cravings.
For example, your cravings for sugar may be coming from your desire to have more sweetness in your life. Reach out to a loved one, create a new artistic project, be more connected to nature and the earth, spend time in meditation… there are LOTS of ways to “add sweetness” into your life without just running to sugar out of an old negative habit.
When you REPLACE your old negative habits and behaviors with new positive ones, your cravings reveal a deeper truth to what's happening inside of your body, heart, mind, and spirit. You're able to go to the ROOT of the issue, and address the CAUSE rather than the symptom.
Your cravings get weaker and weaker until they eventually stop completely becuase you are addressing the solution and solving the issue instead of just covering it up. This is a journey so it's very important to stay inspired to keep going, and that's why it's important to follow through to the final step…
5. Honor yourself when you make a healthy choice - it is so important to FOCUS your energy and attention on what you want to CREATE… not what you want to erase. And that means, when you make a POSITIVE choice to nourish a craving, take a moment and give yourself a silent recognition and a gift of gratitude.
This will give you a positive burst of endorphins from your hypo-campus (the part of your brain that releases endorphins), and a burst of euphoria from aligning with your highest intentions.
This journey of losing weight naturally, getting healthy, and beating your cravings is all about creating more JOY and happiness in your life, isn't it? Turns out, the more you do this the easier it gets and the more power you have to stop fat-storage and end your cravings forever.
