Start eating cooked egg whites every morning. In a few days it should naturally suppress your appetite. Good luck.

First of all, You have to be ready to quit. It doesn't matter if everyone wants you to, but you aren't ready.\n\nWhat worked for me was to set a target date. Cut back on daily intake until that day, then get rid of all items related to smoking. I found a hypnotherapy and meditation system about quitting and used it as I approached my target date. I found some tea tree oil chewing sticks to chew on to give my mouth something to do besides eat. I also made sure I had plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables available so I did not gain tons of weight.\n\nAnother highly effective thing was that I did not smoke inside the house, so I did not have the lingering smell to contend with. If you have been smoking inside, you will want to wash your walls and floors and possibly even paint to remove the odor, which will help reduce the cravings.\n\nFinally be patient with yourself. It often takes more than one attempt to sucessfully quit.

Focus on a new goal - such as running in an upcoming marathon - that ties into your new healthy lifestyle.  \n\nWhen you get the urge to smoke, chew on gum or put a straw in your mouth.  The cravings will lessen over time.\n\nFor motivation when it gets tough, close your eyes and picture yourself all wrinkly, with yellow teeth and a hacking cough.  Then picture the healthy version of yourself.  Also picture your children or future children and imagine yourself being a positive role model.

I have cravings for sweets all the time, but when that happens, the best thing to do is to go for low-fat yogurt, your favorite fruit, or maybe whip up a smoothie. Try to stick to healthy foods. I'm not saying don't eat anything sweet, but try not to have it all the time. Having a sweet treat once in a while is okay, but have fruits and other good foods, too. Also, you can have a glass of water when you're craving something sugary. Water satisfies your stomach for a little while. Which will give you time to think of your next snack, or maybe even give you time to make dinner/lunch/breakfast! Hope this helps!!\n Email me back

Eating something that you really hate every time you get an urge to smoke should help.  If you start to associate cravings for cigarettes with something foul-tasting, then that might be a good thing for you.  \nSomeone that I knew quit cold turkey after many attempts.  The last "cigarette" he ever had was made up of a bunch of butts that he found around the house--and he said that smoking THAT cured him.

Myus is right, but I'd resist the sugars, and instead go for something your body will have to work harder to convert to sugar.  Protien, fats or whole grains (like whole oatmeal) will work.  You won't satisfy your cravings right away, but eventually they'll disipate, and you won't risk throwing off your diet.

believe it or not food cravings are like drug cravings and in fact stuff like caffine will keep you hooked. but as far as the beads and goodies go its natural of course to have the cravings but getting rid of that is up to you, drink LOTS of water because it fills you up and either eat some grapefruit r drink the juice because the citric acid helps burn fat, hope this helps.

When I stopped smoking for a while, I ate chocolate covered cherries-which was something I hated before that time or at least did not like well enough to eat more than once a year.  Oddly enough coffee and hot tea-green tea wild berry plum flavor!  It was excellent.  I was so tormented.  Water and exercise and daily chores will help keep your mind off of it.  Plus, being away from smokers.  That was my trouble and stressful times got the best of me.  Better luck to you.  Believe me you will feel so much better and like a stronger person for overcoming this addiction.  You will have more energy and that will replace the urge for smoking-your new re-found health!!! :)

you do the exact opposite of just eating 3 meals a day.  Firstly, if you start to get a craving and don't suppress it with any sort of snack, it will become uncontrollable and you will eat more in the long run.  Secondly, the more you eat, the more you increase your metabolism which burns up fat.  Most of the suggestions were good ones.  Exercise, eat veggies, and I would only eat a little fruit and on its own - don't mix it.  10 lbs is not hard and there are lots of ways to lose it but it you give it 2 weeks minimum, you have increased your chances by 65% to keep it off.  If you give it 3 weeks, you have increased your chances by 90%.  Drink up your water and try to cut partially hydrogenated stuff and high fructose corn syrup out of your diet.  Good luck!

With the colder weather and exercising, you are perhaps getting low sugar levels. The most natural response is to turn to a chocolate bar or sweets. However, it is these sugar lows and then highs that increase the cravings for more sugar.\n\nEat pasta, chicken and rice and loads of vegetables. These are full of complex carbohydrates- good sugars. Your cravings for junk sugar - called simple sugars such as fizzy drinks and choc bars and sweet puddings should go. avoid alcohol; that totally messes with your sugar levels.\n\nAlternatively, try one of those athlete drinks or chews to keep your body sugar levels intact.

Try 6 to 8 very small meals a day...Just so that the "edge" of your appetite goes away!

What foods are you craving specifically?  If you need chocolate, you are better off eating high cocoa versions like 70% cooking chocolate.  If it is burgers, try eating chicken burgers instead of ordinary ones.\n\nI over ate last week because it was just so damned cold.  I also over eat if I am stressed out.  Think about how you are feeling at the moment and if you are stressing about something, do something to sort it out.  Exercise is really good for stress but if you are feeling stressed the last thing you want to do is exercise.  Catch 22!\n\nGood luck!

You need to just cut down first of all. Exhibit some self control no matter how hard it is.\nAnd yes I know it is hard.\nBut the thing about it is the more you eat it the more you crave it. The less you eat it you will find yourself not wanting it.\nSugar is addictive and makes your body want more. So unless you have great self control you can not just tell yourself just one and leave it at that.\nEat less and you wont really want it!

Good job in recognizing this as an addiction.  Please get some professional help immediately; almost no one can stop this on their own.  One factor that keeps you addicted is when you consistently undereat.  When you undereat, your body does its best to MAKE you eat -- and that means constantly causing you to think about food and obsess about food!  This sets you up for a binge.  You are fighting your own biology, and you cannot win.  The only solution is to accept your body's natural hunger and learn to eat whenever you're hungry, and treat yourself with kindness.  It is impossible to maintain a weight too low for your body and NOT obsess about food.  Once you're addicted to binging/purging, it will take time and effort to break the habits, but it absolutely can be done.  Hope this helps.  I've been there.

You need to set some rules for yourself.  Don't leave food out on the table, and don't look in the fridge between meals and snacks.  \n\nSet snack and meal times -- sometimes just knowing you only have to wait 30 more minutes will give you the will power to not eat now.\n\nTake a walk before you eat something.\n\nMake rules about no eating while on the computer. This is a no-brainer.  You can also make it a rule not to eat while watching TV.\n\nFigure out why you are craving.  It's not physical hunger -- you feel like you need to treat yourself.  Are there any other ways you can treat yourself without resorting to food?\n\nAlso, make sure that you do eat 5 veggies, 5 fruits, three proteins, three calciums and five grain/starch things every day.  And plenty of liquids.  Maybe you do have a nutrition problem, but snack foods won't solve it.\n\nAnd, don't beat yourself up about it.  Be kind to yourself -- just try to find a different way to do it than by eating.  Read a book, treat yourself to a movie, take a walk in a beautiful place, go visit (or call) a friend.\n\nGood luck!
