================== ARTICLE START ==================

I confess: I'm completely addicted to Pringles. My

determination weakens every time I think about munching into

one, hearing the crunch, and getting that first taste of its

yummy flavor. Pure heaven. Although you don't flip over chips,

probably there's another food that lures you into the

refrigerator or the 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 the swirling

vortex of pleasure? I researched on the topic to give you

expert advice on how to enjoy that art called eating without

turning in into a feeding frenzy. Read on - and never again

feel guilty about eating a chocolate chip cookie.

Take Charge of Your Eating Habits.

Try to control the number of food cravings you experience. It

appears to be impossible for humans like us, but if you psyche

yourself and develop fewer cravings, then slowly you'll submit

to fewer cravings.

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 the same result by getting the 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 the difference using a

supplement of calcium carbonate or calcium citrate.

How about something relaxing? When you're anxious, the body

produces more of the hormone cortisol, which may increase the

amount of carbohydrates you want to eat. Sweets or

carbohydrates temporarily increase our levels of serotonin,

making us feel calm and relaxed.

Thus, one way of helping curb your sweet tooth, rent some

videos, text your funniest friends, or schedule a spa weekend.

Why not have a bit of chocolate once in a while? When you begin

including small amounts of these forbidden foods into your diet,

a funny thing happens: You don't crave them anymore.

Distinguish specific cravings from hunger. Suppose you drive by

a fast food outlet and all of a sudden, you develop a deep

craving for French fries. Rather than rushing down the drive

thru section, reassess your urge. Turn on your favorite music

and switch your attention away from the fries idea. Suppose, on

the other hand, you feel the need to satisfy not the urge but

your hunger, select an apple pie or salad as a substitute.

Cut Hundreds of Calories.

Sure you can cut on hundreds of calories on what you eat every

day! How? By making the appropriate choices on replacing

high-calorie to low-calorie foods, such as cheese, creams,

whole milk, butter, etc. Here are easy tricks to keep you

cooking and eating minus the calories.

• When cooking, use nonstick pan to eliminate the use of butter

and/or oil.

• Remove the fat from the meat.

• Remove the skin of chicken before serving.

• Use butter-flavored seasoning on vegetables instead of

sprinkling butter.

• For casseroles, desserts and sauces, use evaporated skim milk

(12 cal./tbsp.) instead of heavy cream (51 cal./tbsp.)

• Cook stews and other casseroles ahead of time. Refrigerate.

Remove congealed fat before serving.

• Choose real orange (71 cal.) over an orange juice (90 cal./6

oz).

• For snacks, low-calorie fruits (cucumbers, asparagus,

carrots, apples, pickles) are good replacements for crackers

and breads.

• Use bottled chocolate extract for milk shakes instead of

sweetened cocoa.

• Use two egg whites (34 cal.) for cakes instead of one egg (82

cal.).

• Choose diet margarine (50 cal.) instead of the regular

margarine (100 cal.).

• Choose cereals with the least calories then add fresh fruits

to be more nutritious.

• In parties, good substitutes for snacks are carrot strips,

pickle slices, and raw mushroom caps.

• Drip away fats by cooking hamburgers on the rack.

• Avoid chips with dips.

Staying in healthy shape depends on the right attitude. So how

strong is your will power to control the urge?
