Yes, I have been doing my blogs for the most part (life sometimes gets in the way) and I have been tracking all my food through Weight Watchers, I have been doing fairly well with my work outs as well... But I wouldn't be here if I wasn't looking for ways to improve. I am going to go strong for the 4 days before I start my next self-challenge, Gluten-Free February!
One thing that ALWAYS crashes my diet success is cravings. For me, I crave sugar and lots of it... Specifically, CHOCOLATE! However, did you know that a lot of cravings we have are often the result of something missing from our diets. If you review the picture below, you will see that being deficient in one mineral or vitamin will cause you body to crave different foods.... For example, Chromium or Sulfur if you are craving sweets, or calcium if you are craving carbonated beverages. Often, many cravings can be satisfied by simply drinking water. I often want to nibble on foods when I am thirsty or dehydrated. There are other alternatives to the most common food cravings, provided here in case you are every suffering. If you are like me, a Weight Watchers follower, remember that ever "BLT" counts towards your calories... BLT's, or "Bites, Licks and Tastes" have calories and can add up quickly... So be sure you know what you body might be missing and why, to ensure you stay healthy, nurished and satisfied.
Tomorrow I will be wrapping up my 21 Day Challenge and outlining my goals for 2013!
Thanks all
A
