I'm no stranger to the ugly beast called “Cravings”. For some it may be sweet, others salty and some even just all food, but I can remember way back when I first started my new healthy eating strategy, I really missed my sweet stuff and I missed it bad.
To be honest, I’m not even sure if it was so much physical as much it was emotional. Physically, I felt more satiated, more energetic and was actually enjoying the food on my new meal plans much more than the unhealthy sugary and processed foods I was eating before. But emotionally, I think the morning sweet Danish or chocolate muffin with coffee and tons of sugar gave me a sugar high that helped me to deal with the fact that I was exhausted and going to a job that I didn’t enjoy.
I’m not going to get too deep into what my life was like back then, but the funny part is that here I was walking around exhausted all the time, thinking that the sugar was helping to keep me awake, but it was the very reason I was so tired! I proved this to myself clearly when just 72 hours after starting my healthy eating regimen, the exhaustion lifted like a dark cloud.
I’m not going to lie to you though. Cravings did sneak their way in to my life every so often. So how did I deal with them in those moments?
1. Know that once you start eating the right foods for your specific Metabolic Type, your cravings will subside significantly. Cravings are your body’s way of telling you that you are not getting something that you need and if you are craving sugar, you may need more carbs…healthy carbs that is. If you are craving salty, you may need more fat…healthy fat that is. The point is, once you give your body specifically what it needs, it will not be screaming “feed me Danish, feed me cake, feed me potato chips”.
2. The less sugar and processed foods you eat, the less you will crave them. Believe it or not, it usually only takes about 72 hours of staying away from the bad stuff before your body calms the ugly cravings dragon. Why 72 hours? I’m not quite sure. I do know it works and if you can get yourself to commit to 3 days of keeping away from the ugly foods, you will see a dramatic shift in your cravings.
If you have already tried my first 2 suggestions above and could still use a bit more help, there is another technique that many of my readers have used with great success that you may want to consider. It’s called “medical hypnosis” and of course I wanted to know if it’s something hokey or it’s the real deal so I decided to research it fully. It’s not something I have ever tried myself, but after many reader inquiries and successful testimonials, it was well worth looking into and sharing with you.
After much research, I found a specific program that has been getting normal people just like you results for almost 5 years here:

I wasn’t quite sure about the whole “medical hypnosis thing” at first, so if you’re skeptical, I understand.
Many people are when they first hear about this. But I wouldn’t even be writing about it if I didn’t think there was a significant amount of value in this program. Actually, once I found out that this particular program was one of the best of the best as far as hypnosis is concerned, I contacted the owners and they sent me a whole package of CD’s for my personal review right away and just as I thought, they were great! As a matter of fact, they were beyond my expectations because the CDs were not only thorough, but extremely easy to use with just 20 minutes of time each day.
Look, some people,(maybe you) may not be able to stick to my 72 hour strategy or are having a really hard time sticking to their metabolism type meal plans. Trust me. I get it. I was there too, which is why when one strategy doesn’t work, you have to try a new one and continue to find ways that will help you achieve your health goals. I do believe medical hypnosis is a wonderful option to try.
There are piles upon piles of scientific information proving the effectiveness of medical hypnosis, but I’m not going to bore you with any of those. That’s my job to decipher and then pass on to you the important stuff you need to know.
