Answers:
whenever you get that craving, open a packet of gum and chew a few pieces-maybe you should start with flavoured gum-the flavour looses slowly over time so that could help!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

What you are fighting is an addiction and being an addiction, it's no different than a smoker trying to quit or an alcoholic trying to stop!. That constant nagging thought your brain does is and can be a terrifying curse!.
Whatever happens, don't allow yourself to become addicted to anything else to replace this!.
In days of long ago, a dessert was offered at the end of a meal to ward off cravings and of having a desire for snacking later!. Toast with jelly along with a bowl of oatmeal in the am will stick with you through most of the day and a dinner mint after supper can help!.
I suggest you try this!. Be sure to take a good multivitamin, B-complex and Chromium Picolinate every morning!. B-complex will deliver you much energy, the multivitamin, stamina and the Chromium Picolinate will process sugars and aid in cravings!. But for this to work, you must take these for a few days to a week to see any real results because the Chromium needs to fill your system!.
Also, try to busy your mind with other things like singing, doing a craft or puzzle, reading or visiting with others and avoid things like watching too much TV or other things where your mind becomes board enough to do the thinking for you!. Whenever and wherever you are if you find your mind going out of bounds, rein it back in with 10 sit ups, breathing deep or going for a brisk walk!.
It will take at least 3 days to reprogram your habit of thought, but then again it's only 3 days and you will be able to forget about it and have no worry!. Just let it go!. If you don't give into every craving, the cravings will die!. It cannot have life unless you allow it to!. Mainly, don't let yourself become board!. Keep busy even if it's coloring!. Put on some music and dance or at least play solitary with a deck of cards or write a journal, poem or short story!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to find a hobby something that you can absolutely absorb yourself in that way you're not thinking about food!. Also, when you have the "bad cravings" eat something nutritious!. There are so many diet snacks out there go to the store and find snacks that are not only less calories but taste very good, ex: slim fast bars!. Good luck on your diet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Cut back on your exposure to ads concerning junk food!. This means the idiot box (television), magazines and anything else that constantly bombards you with food ads!. Stay away from fast food joints!. Get out and do outdoors things more often, hiking, walking, biking, etc!. Exercise!. Get enough rest too, but not too much!. Try to eat things in their most natural forms!. As jack Lalane once said "If man made it, don't eat it"!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

me too- it's so hard!. what i do is when a commercial comes on, or if there is something to do with food around me, i get out of it!. i just have to stay away from it!. the other thing is, if you can just suffer for 3-5 days and be really strict, the cravings will get way better!. but, once your at that point don't cheat or the cravings come immediately!.

you can do it!. i do!.!.!.actually i am, and i'm loosing weight :)

come on, i bet you can!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

What kind of 'diet' are you on!?

You need to make sure that you're not eating lots of carbs!. Carbs will make your blood sugar unstable and therefore cause cravings!.

I used to eat a low-fat, high carbohydrate diet and gained weight doing so!.!.then I educated myself and realized that carbs make you crave carbs!. For instance!.!.!.have you ever eaten a huge meal (like pizza) and immediately wanted something sweet!? That's because once your blood sugar spikes and begins to come down your brain sends messages to your body telling you that you need more sugar!.

I lived it first-hand, and am no longer a junk food junkie!. Trust me!.!.if I can do it, anyone can!.

If you could tell me what kind of foods you eat on a daily basis I might be able to help you :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, as for me, I tend to emotionally eat when I am unsatisfied with life over all!. Sometimes when there
