One Simple Tip to Curb Cravings!

If you are on Reshape; you have breakfast like you’re supposed to…then your next meal a few hours later…another one a few hours even after that, and so on… but what about those cravings that still come about? The ones that make you want to throw caution to the wind, and give in to the monsters that want a doughnut, or ten; a slice of pizza, or the whole pie… What are you supposed to do with those?

I worked out with my trainer the other morning and boy did she have an interesting suggestion to the workout class afterward: “Make sure you brush your teeth after you eat a meal, do this each day, throughout your day, it’ll help curb those cravings” …. Interesting… Something I swear I’ve heard somewhere before. I thought I’d check out the scientific findings, if any, of that advice.

According to Dr. Becky Gillaspy: In order to eliminate your cravings for something sweet after a meal, you should clear your palate. When you are finished eating you will want to clear the taste of food out of your mouth which will help you separate from the act of eating. Use a glass of water, chewing gum, brushing your teeth or a cup of mint tea and you will find your craving for something sweet washes away.

After learning this, I decide to give it a try…With Reshape The Nation, I’m constantly eating, which keeps my metabolism up and running…Sometimes though, when I’m at the office and there’s cake around..or walking down the street and smell the amazing aromas, I seriously could eat all day long! Which I’m sure, if it’s not a reward day, cannot be a very good thing to do to stay on track and stay the course..
What I found is that not only does brushing your teeth after meals help crave my sweet tooth, drinking hot mint tea cleanses my palate, cleansing with it, the need or want for a dozen cookies! Drinking a ton of water aids in this as well for me… It’s almost as if sustaining my weight loss is so much easier if I simply forget about it, and these tips are extremely helpful toward my cause! Cheers Reshapers, try it if you can, it really does help in the process.
