I have recently spoken with several Clarian Bariatrics patients who are working to manage cravings. Are you familiar with that struggle? Does the thought of having to say “no” to one of your favorite foods preoccupy you? Do you give in to a craving for unhealthy foods?
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal stated, “Certain foods seem to fuel the appetite like pouring gasoline on a fire.” I like that quote. What the author of the Wall Street Journal article was talking about, after her review of recent research, was that foods high in unhealthy fat and high in refined carbohydrates sets up a kind of “fullness resistance.”
A dietician can explain why these foods tend to satisfy us for only a short time and promote further eating. A dietician can also recommend alternatives to these types of foods. Take a moment to list several ways you can fight your cravings. Each time you withstand a craving, the easier it will be for you to withstand the next craving.
