How to Satisfy Cravings for Chocolate,
Salt and Cheese
Cravings for Chocolate
If you're on a weight loss diet and you
get a craving for chocolate, sip hot chocolate (200 calories or less per
cup; make it with skim milk and slash some of the fat and calories). Or
choose chocolate-covered raisins (about 185 calories per two-ounce package,
which also provides iron and fiber).
Cravings for Salt
If your weight loss program gets wobbly
and you feel a craving for salt, choose pretzels (100 calories per ounce,
less than 1 gram of fat), air-popped popcorn (30 calories per cup) or
crispy Parmesan "chips" made from baked wonton wrappers sprinkled
lightly with Parmesan cheese. Other weight-friendly options: mixtures
of cereal, coated lightly with soy sauce and baked, or a cup of soup -
chicken soup, if you really want to indulge the sensations of more peaceful
times.
Cravings for Cheese
If you're trying to lose weight and a craving
for cheese hits you, reach for the cheese-shredder. One ounce of shredded
cheese can be just as satisfying as a two-ounce slice and packs half the
calories. Great for weak moments, when dieting.
Weight Loss Advice
Obesity and weight reduction is becoming
a huge health issue. Before buying any weight loss pills or enrolling
for gastrointestinal weight loss surgery, remember that long-term weight
control is based on a healthy balanced diet and regular exercise, no matter
which weight loss option you choose.
