The Mindful Way to Distract You From Your Cravings
You know you’ve had that moment — that sudden desire — to eat something with no rational reason.
This is the classic sign of a food craving, but little good generally comes from it.
“Most cravings are emotional, and there’s a difference between emotional hunger and actual hunger,” says Mary Beth Sodus, a Nutritional Therapist and Registered Dietician at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
“They hit people above the neck as a taste for something, not actual hunger,” she says.
The desire for a particular food item can be powerful and has the ability to fully consume someone’s thoughts until satisfied. But just as easily as the mind gets you into these situations, it can get you out.
