Holistic Nutrition
The Whole You
by Wendy Humphris, ROHP Not so long ago I wrote a post to help you curb those nasty cravings. Today we're looking at substitutions and perhaps what your body may be looking for when you are craving something.
When you think about food cravings, typically the first thing that comes to mind would be some type of junk food. Something that is high in calories, low in nutrients, processed and quite unhealthy. Is that what you tend to crave when a craving kicks in? What is your go-to craving -- chocolate chip cookies? A big bowl of ice cream?

I'm certainly no stranger to the occasional urge to rip open a chocolate bar, go through the drive-thru window, or dive into a bag of my favorite chips -- and I'll bet you aren't a stranger to this either. The occasional indulgence isn't anything to be alarmed about, but if you find yourself licking the remnants of these indulgences off your fingers on a more regular basis, you’ll need to practice some control to get in charge of those cravings. The goal here is to be in charge of your cravings, not have them be in charge of you.
Even when you think you’re doing everything “right” — you could still be doing something that’s sabotaging your goals. With the slew of “diets” out there that leave us entirely confused, it can be hard to discern what the correct steps to take are to actually reach your health goals. I totally get it, it’s a difficult road to be on.
Have you ever struggled to lose weight when you feel like you’re doing everything right, but the scale is not budging? I have been right where you are and felt this same frustration. Sometimes we can seemingly do all of the things we think we should be doing to reach our health goals, but our metabolism is working against us. Having a healthy, functioning metabolism to regulate our bodies is a crucial piece of the puzzle.
The holidays are over, and we’re entering the New Year with fresh goals, the intent to reach them, and excitement for what’s possible in the coming months. Every year, the #1 most popular New Years Resolution is to lose weight. To be honest, I've made that resolution countless times myself, and I'm sure that you have as well. What is the first thing you think of when you hear "lose weight"?? That D word that instantly causes anxiety.
