1) ARE YOU THIRSTY?
Studies have shown that two thirds of the time when you think you’re hungry, you’re actually thirsty.
Drink 8 oz of water (a glass!).
2) ARE YOU FEELING TIRED?
Girl! If you’ve got that exhausted mid-afternoon feeling… If you’re a bit slow and lacking in energy you know how it is… You can get that desperate, quivering feeling that you NEED some SUGARY JUNK FOOD – simple carbs (like cheese cake, cookies, fries, chips, sweet fizzy soft drinks you name it) OR CAFFEINE!
— Get a grip! Drink some water and then, if you still feel hungry, eat something water rich, nutrient dense and high fiber like a green kale berry banana smoothie! 🙂
3) IS THIS A CRAVING?
If you’ve got a particular food calling your name (e.g. chocolate, pineapple & anchovy pizza, Krispy Kreme donuts or salty nachos with cheese) then ask yourself how you’re going to feel after you eat this. Be honest. Will this food uplift you, nourish you and make your day better OR will it drag you down, make you feel tired 30 minutes later and SCUPPER your fitness goals??! Look yourself in the mirror when you answer this.
AND
DON’T MAKE ANY FOODS FORBIDDEN my lovely – that won’t serve you. Studies have shown that it’ll only make the ‘forbidden food’ more tempting and then you’ll eat more of it! Just add more and more of the food that makes you feel good afterwards – nutrient dense, wholefoods and your taste buds will change. Little by little you’ll actually start to crave some of that healthier food! Trust me 🙂
I love you and I’m here rooting for you.
love,
Kara
