 Most people know that moderate exercise and eating healthy low-fat foods are key to staying healthy, but these days many people have hectic, fast-paced schedules., eating right and exercising is easier said than done... finished. The best way to prevent food disasters when you experience food cravings throughout the day is to plan ahead and have a little strategy.

Every person, no matter how disciplined they are with their eating habits, can fall victim to some food cravings from time to time. For people trying to lose weight, these food cravings are a more serious problem than for people who are simply trying to maintain weight.

 Whether you're trying to lose weight or not, food cravings can cause you to break your normal eating habits and end up eating too many calories that you'd otherwise be trying to cut back on.

First, plan five to six small meals, one every three hours a day, and be careful not to miss any of them. The human body takes an average of two and a half hours to digest food, so by the time you feel the urge to eat, it's almost time for your next meal.

 

Make it a habit to drink lots of water. When you feel hungry between meals, it's often because your body is trying to signal that it's thirsty. Carry a bottle of water with you throughout the day and drink it regularly to stay hydrated, feel good, and eliminate common causes of food cravings.

 Always try to have fresh fruit on hand when you are at home. If you suffer from food cravings, fruit is a better choice than cake or potato chips. I also make low-fat sauces and chop up fresh vegetables like carrots and celery and store them in the fridge. This also gives you a quick and healthy snack that you can have right when you're craving food.

 Never go to parties, meetings, or other events.
