How To Deal With Cravings (Free MP3 Audio)

Everyone deals with cravings. You have them. I have them.

Most of the time we just blame our lack of “will power,” tell ourselves it’s just our bodies adjusting, or — worst of all — beat ourselves up over it.

It’s a catch-22 for raw foodies. You want to eat more healthy raw foods. But the cravings are holding you back.

It can be a daily struggle.

What can you DO about it?

Feeding your body healthy foods is only half the picture. You also have to nurture your mind with the tools it needs to succeed.

There’s a whole, unexplored emotional component to succeeding with raw foods, or any healthy eating plan for that matter.

This is something no one else is talking about, and yet so desperately needs to be out in the open.

Which is why I was excited to learn that my friend Sharon Livingston, Ph.D., has dealt with this personally herself, and has years of experience helping clients with exactly this problem.

Here’s some of the things we talk about in this free audio:

  • Finally discover WHY you’re tempted by unhealthy junk foods
  • How to gently intervene–OR NOT–when every bone in your body says, “it’s time for a little comfort food”
  • Why it’s so difficult to stop eating certain foods once you’ve started
  • Escaping perfectionist thinking (”I already blew it so I might as well have another”)
  • How to find out what you REALLY crave, and why sometimes no amount or type of food is enough to satisfy it
  • The most common causes of emotional eating
  • Exactly what to do when you truly believe food is the ONLY way to get satisfaction
  • Finding your personal emotional food triggers
  • Making better food choices when you’re idle or bored
  • Learning to trust and honor your body
  • Freeing yourself from emotional eating without giving up your joy for delicious comfort foods

Cravings.

It’s the elephant in the room for raw foodies.

You have them. I have them. Everyone deals with cravings. It can be a daily struggle.

It’s a catch-22 for raw foodies. You want to eat more healthy raw foods. But the cravings are holding you back.

8 Ways To Handle Holiday Cravings on the Raw Food Diet

Dealing with cravings is a common concern for people on the raw food diet.  And the holidays can be an especially challenging time. This is when there’s all sorts of tempting goodies available in copious quantities. It’s a magical time when sweets, seasonal treats, and other highly caloric foods come to life and actually call to you by name.

And if you’re anything like me, traditionally it’s the time when you and your family make an exception and indulge to the point of “food coma.” Couple that with cold weather that’s perfect for hot, hearty meals…

Does all this spell disaster for your raw food diet?

Just today at the office, people brought in all kinds of leftovers from the weekend.  Chili, pumpkin pie, bagels, doughnuts. I have to admit, I did stare at the carrot cake with its creamy layers of frosting for more than a few seconds.

But I didn’t do it. I resisted the temptation.
