How to stop cravings on a weight-loss diet

By Rishabh Raj

1

Increase protein intake

Protein is a macronutrient that helps you feel full and satisfied for longer periods, which can reduce your overall calorie intake and help you lose weight.

2

Avoid crash diets

When you restrict your calorie intake too severely, it can cause muscle breakdown. This leads to muscle loss, a decrease in metabolism, and challenges in future weight loss.

3

Eat nutrient-dense foods

Include a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, and whole grains in your diet to ensure you are getting a range of nutrients.

4

Drink plenty of water

Sometimes, dehydration can be mistaken for cravings, and drinking water can help alleviate this sensation. Additionally, drinking water can help you feel.

5

Manage stress

Stress can trigger the release of the hormone cortisol, which increases your appetite and leads to cravings for high-fat and high-sugar foods.
