refrigerator or
pantry cabinet. According to one study, 97% of women (compared to 68% of men) experience cravings on food.How do you control these urges that drag you in an intoxicated shape away from your diet plan and down into

According to one study of nearly 500 women, researchers found that women who received a daily 1, 200 milligram calcium supplement reduced their number of premenstrual food cravings by 54%. To reach

needed calcium intake from food, rely on skim milk and yogurt. Sounds a bit difficult for all lactose intolerant? Try some calcium-fortified foods or juices like cheese and calcium-filled orange juices. If you don't feel you can get sufficient calcium from food, make up
difference using a supplement of calcium carbonate or calcium citrate.
How about something relaxing? When you're anxious,
body produces more of
hormone cortisol, which may increase
amount of carbohydrates you want to eat. Sweets or carbohydrates temporarily increase our levels of serotonin, making us feel calm and relaxed.

When you begin including small amounts of these forbidden foods into your diet, a funny thing happens: You don't crave them anymore.
