We've all had our moments. The mid-afternoon slump or late night craving are often a killer and quick fire way to dismantle even the most determined individual.
And especially at this time of year, in the run up to Christmas, when the house is usually fully stocked with all sorts of treats.
From craving a bag of crisps to a bar of chocolate or even a stuffed crust pizza; the thoughts can be mind consuming.
Our willpower gets tested to the max and only the strongest can resist the temptation and stay clear.
Next time your mind is fixated on junk food, opt for one of these 5 simple and effective research-based tips that will keep you out of trouble and on the straight and narrow.
(1) Go for a walk – Exercising goes a long way towards regulating food intake, plus it is a welcome distraction. So when you return, the sugary snack thought will be long but forgotten.
(2) Drink a glass of water – It is the real test of whether we are actually hungry or just craving. A large glass of ice cold H2O, can be enough to kick the craving into touch.
(3) Chew some gum – Chewing gum after lunch has been reported to decreased hunger feelings. So when the 3pm slump comes calling, reach for that little spearmint friend.
(4) Find a distraction – Food cravings often occur in times of boredom. So seek a distraction to keep yourself occupied, which will take your mind off it. Call a friend, listen to some music or simply walk out of the office and come back 5mins later.
(5) Brush your teeth – Bring a toothbrush into work and call upon it in times of need. Once your mouth is feeling spearmint fresh, you won’t want to go crazy on greasy sugar treats.
