Overcome Cravings With a Small Snack

We humans are genetically programmed to eat all of the food we see, say scientists. That’s why if you eat ice cream straight from the container or chips straight from the bag, you always eat more than you intend. It’s also why many people tend to overeat at buffet-style restaurants.

To overcome such “see food” temptations, I have a neat trick: When you have an indulgent craving, don’t deprive yourself. Instead, eat smarter and carry healthy treats.

I love dark chocolate because of its antioxidant benefits - and it tastes great! My favorite kind is Green and Black's Organic 85% Dark Chocolate; it's delicious and has less sugar than milk chocolate and most other brands of dark chocolate. This way you can satisfy your craving while skipping out on the sugar crash. Plus, making smart choices about sugar and carbs will help keep your waistline in check.

Your coach,
Jorge Cruise
