In a world full of yummy products and advertising that entices the savory pallet, it's hard sometimes to keep those cravings at a level that is safe to call.... moderation. It is possible, however, to keep those cravings at bay. It takes one important application........ discipline. After the first week of using this method, cravings will dramatically decrease and ward off that excess build up of body fat and water retention from sugar.

Step 1.

Start a healthy breakfast. I for one am guilty of not eating anything for breakfast and it is both very unhealthy to the body and mind. Without a healthy breakfast, you will function slower, and add a lot more to your morning routine, searching for more stimulating products that will create that "wake me up feeling."

Start out with whatever you want for breakfast, no matter how big or small. There's a reason for not limiting yourself, trust me, eat until you are full. Remember to add a fruit or vegetable drink to the process. You have to balance your carbs and proteins. You can always utilize the no carbs, but the problem with that is, your body knows when it lacks something in your diet, and will produce carbs from the protein you eat. All protein diets only work in the short term, then the body becomes adjusted to your diet and starts producing carbs.

Even if your diet does not consist of "well-balanced" portions......... believe me, it will. We'll get into that later.

Step 2.

Lunch, do the same thing, eat until you are no longer hungry. A snack between meals can limit yourself to over-eating, but use whatever preference you choose. Just remember what you ate, and be sure it's something you like a lot of and don't mind eating everyday.

Step 3.

The same with supper, eat until full. Even if it means not balancing your diet well. Be sure it is something that you can eat daily. Allow a dessert, or evening snack of ice-cream. Continuing with the exact same thing you ate the day before. This will get your body used to your caloric intake.

YOU READY!

Step 1. The following day.

Today you are going to continue with the routine of breakfast, lunch, and supper. Even the snacks in between meals. Now, here's the catch......... you are going to eat only seven-eighths of all your portions. Right down to the snacks. Continue this process for the first week.

Step 2. The following week throughout the next month.

You will, with every week, lower your intake by one-eighth a week until you are down to half of everything you started your Cravings Diet with. Once you get to that half-portion from the original portion, you will see dramatic changes and a discipline you never even realize you use daily. Treat yourself to a large dinner of your choice and splurge once a week as a reward to yourself. I guarantee this will work.......... cause it has for me. It doesn't hurt to start an exercise program, preferably a daily routine of cardio workouts. You will soon have plenty of energy to do so

Good Luck, and always...... enjoy life!
