I don't believe in eliminating certain foods, but instead in finding alternative solutions that will remedy that desire.
Let's face it, some of the most delicious foods there are- can be filled with fat and sugar. Our taste buds have been conditioned to want them and crave them.
What I have learned is that it's not about the food you are craving that matter BUT what you ate through the day THAT will determine your CRAVINGS!
What do I mean?
If you fill your body up with foods that are pure, natural and healthy for you - throughout the day you will realize that you don't crave or desire for foods that are high in fat and sugar.Let me share an experience
I was visiting my husband at his work and he came out to share a chocolate candy with my son, I opened it and decided that i would try some… not that I wanted it, but only because it was there I decided I would try it. And I started to chew it and realized how gross it tasted. YUCK ! I spit it out!
This is what I am referring to, because my taste buds and my body are not used to eating this way the pure taste of it has left a disgusting taste in my mouth!
So, what does this experience mean to you?
To me, it taught me how my tastebuds have been conditioned to appreciate real food. When i feel like eating a piece of something sweet what I do first is eat a healthy treat and then drink water and then I will see if I really want that TREAT ! Usually by then I may enjoy a small treat but nothing over the top because I satisfied that need with something else in my mouth.
As you slowly make the transition to healthier foods you will realize what a difference it will make to your taste buds, cmon I dare you taste it for yourself !
