Many if my clients have dreaded Easter in the past because it meant being exposed to foods they were trying to restrict. Is this the same for you?
Working on key strategies and mindset shifts make it possible to be around all foods without feeling out of control.
And that can be liberating.
Here are some things to try…
🔥1 🔥Work on your ‘all or nothing’ approach to food - it doesn’t mean you have failed if you have a lapse or eat something you’ve been trying to avoid.
Studies show that having exposure to foods regularly will reduce the power of that food and intense cravings for it- and you are much more likely to be able to eat it in a balanced way.
🔥2 🔥If you enjoy dark chocolate, it might help to chose that over milk or white chocolate. Chocolate with a higher cocoa solid content, typically causes less of a blood sugar spike, which means fewer cravings later on. Plus it contains more of cocoa’s natural benefits!
🔥3 🔥Try eating your chocolate after a balanced protein and veg based meal- this helps to balance blood sugar and make cravings less likely If that’s not an option, try eating pairing the chocolate with a small handful of nuts for the same effect.
