About Food Cravings!

Profile Image
Dr. Anagha DesaiDietitian/Nutritionist • 11 Years Exp.MSC in Nutrition & Dietetics, BSc in Food Nutrition & Dietetics

Whenever we are craving for a particular food, it is not our body but our mind that is craving for that experience.
If we desire for that particular taste then one or two bites are enough to satisfy our taste buds, but we feel that I need to eat this entire dessert in order to satisfy my craving.
So, next time you caught yourself making the wrong choices, remind yourself that my body isn’t craving for this, but my mind wants to experience that emotion which I will experience after having this particular food.

Ask yourself these QUESTIONS

  1. What am I craving for?
  2. How will this particular food make me feel after I consume it?
  3. Which emotion is triggered after consuming this particular food?
  4. Can I relate it to my current state of mind?
  5. Am I not experiencing this particular emotion at this point in my life?

Now realise that you have associated this emotion with that particular food.

This is just the beginning stage to identify the problem. Our cravings are very deep and they demand our attention.

Is there any food which is controlling you? Something you are not able to give up?

In case you have a concern or query you can always consult a specialist & get answers to your questions!
