This Is How You Can Reduce Your Cravings For Junk Food

Last Updated on January 7, 2021

#3 – Eat it less frequently

This is when the first step applies. Whenever you crave something, listen to your body and eat it. But here is the trick: according to a recent study, the best way to decrease cravings is by eating frequently and at normal portion sizes because preventing yourself from it will just lead to more cravings and overeating.

So technically, it is not about the amount of junk food you eat, it is about how frequently you do it.

#4 – Find an alternative

A big meal that is all sauces and greasy fries (duh!) will literally send orgasms through your spine and veins, but what about the feeling you get afterward?

To avoid that unhealthy heavy feeling after eating, you can change it up a little bit by replacing, for example, the usual potatoes with sweet potatoes. It is that kind of food that will satisfy you as soon as it touches your taste buds. Plus, it is incredibly healthy.

So remember all your favorite foods and then search for their alternatives, you will be blessed with many healthy choices that are actually very tasty. However, just because you have replaced eggs with avocados in your new “Brownie Recipe” doesn’t mean you could eat the whole tray.

#5 – Distract yourself

Do you know what is the best way to avoid something? It is to forget about it completely. According to a study of addictive behaviors, playing Tetris for only 3 minutes can help you reduce cravings drastically.

Even if Tetris is really your jam, then you can distract yourself from any game you like, talk to a friend, or do any activity you enjoy.

#6 – Finish your meals right
