How to overcome food craving?

Hmmm... that's a million dollar question isnt it? I think all of us need a realistic flexible eating plan.
Many people 'starve " or eat too little & go into defensive mode when cravings strike. Then they cheat.... feel guilty, resist ....cheat some more , feel even worse. It's a desperate cycle.

Some experts said it's best to wait it out. Why? Because according to them most cravings pass within 20 mins since it's psychological!

What could hinder weight loss?

Interestingly counting calories , tracking them in a diary may induce stress, thus hindering weight loss. In some studies it's reported dietors who cut calories saw their levels of cortisol, a stress hormone linked to weight gain increase.

And those who kept journals reported feeling stress (resisting temptation can be stressful). Suggestion is to concentrate on excerise plan & food choices & not counting calories.
