Are Your Cravings Screaming?
Here are a few tips to help you.
Bottom line:
Eat a healthy breakfast. Eat lunch. Eat dinner.
- Always include enough protein, a healthy fat and a vegetables at each meal and snack.
- Keep your blood sugar balanced to help control cravings!
- Sometimes we mistake the “I’m thirsty” signal for “I’m hungry” – – – keep up with your water and drink a big glass of water when you first get a hunger signal.
Breakfast (or lunch) ideas.
Tired of eating eggs and sauteed veggies every day?
Try precooked organic sausage with sweet potatoes and veggies sautéed in a pan with butter.
Eating dinner foods for breakfast is a great option. Left over steak or chicken will heat quickly in a pan with vegetables and coconut oil.
What about tuna salad, crab cakes or sardines! Before you think “NOPE!” try mashing sardines with Primal mayonnaise (or make your own mayo version from avocado oil or olive oil).
Chicken salad is an easy breakfast too. Chop leftover chicken with one chopped egg, mix with a quality mayo and Real Salt. Add chopped celery if you like.
Don’t forget your greens in a smoothie with Spirulina, spinach or kale, berries and coconut milk!
Supplements
For cravings try 1 tsp of L-glutamine powder (4500 mg) up to twice a day in a glass of water (or if cravings chase you all day, try 1/2 tsp in a glass of water up to 4 times a day). Nora Gedgaudas wrote, “The brain can use L-glutamine in lieu of glucose while metabolic conversions to fat and ketone burning over sugar burning are taking place.”
Alternatively L-glutamine can be placed directly under the tongue for fast action. 1/2 tsp 2-4 times a day.
“Cravings will go away in about 10 minutes if you take 1000 milligrams of L-glutamine,” predicts nutritionally trained Fred Pescatore, MD.
L-glutamine is also great for muscle recovery post-workout and healing the lining of the gut.
Chromium, LDA Trace Minerals, Item # EPDT2
Chromium is a trace mineral that is important for diabetes and for people with cravings. Chromium has been shown to help the body metabolize sugars properly.
100 – 200 mcg before each meal helps keep blood sugar stable and reduces carb cravings.
80% of us are chromium deficient! Studies have shown that a deficiency of chromium can contribute to a high cholesterol.
Top 3 benefits of chromium:
- stops sweet cravings
- balances blood sugar
- improves cholesterol
For more info on chromium, read the book Diabetes without Drugs by Suzy Cohen, RPh, or Sugar Shock by Connie Bennett and Fred Pescatore, MD
Nora Gedgaudas writes in her book about switching from being a sugar-burner to a fat-burner and using Gymnema in high doses as “training wheels.”
Gedgaudas:
- The additional use of 4,000-8,000 mg, three times per day of the herb Gymnema sylvestre can improve insulin sensitivity and utterly kill carb cravings in almost anyone.
- I see both L-glutamine and Gymnema as essentially temporary “bicycle training wheels” for that “sugar burning” to “fat burning” metabolism transition period.
