Food Cravings? What Can I Do To Stop Them?

THE DOCTOR IS IN
________________

LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

This reply is for Pat who asked me how she could shed a couple of pounds even when she tries to cut out her snack attacks and her craving for food.

Pat, snacking is when you snack on whatever is around your house in the evening, such as the chips, pretzels, cookies, etc.

It's another animal when when you crave something. Craving is a desire for a specific food. For example, that yummy dessert, that certain dish that you had at a particular restaurant, that certain sandwich and so on.

With that said, here's some advice for you to possibly lose a couple of pounds. When you get a "craving" for a certain food and are thinking about that certain food I want you to switch your mind focus to that waterfall in Hawaii when you were on vacation, or to a beach scene or country scene that you experienced when you were enjoying yourself in your life. Most people have had great times and experiences on vacation or during their travels sometime in their life.

Pat, replace that "craving" image in your mind with one of the enjoyable, relaxing images suggested or something like them. I know your mind is full of such images because as a person goes through life they have experienced hundreds of happy, enjoyable situations. Pat, you just have to call one of them up.Now, the secret is, if you can maintain that image of the waterfall, beach, countryside etc., for a period of twelve (12) minutes I have found that the craving(s)for that specific food will disappear.

I'm happy to say that there have been studies that support my thesis. Basically, your image of the scene you choose to use will replace the "craving" food image in your mind and you will find that your craving has disappeared and you will proceed forward doing other tasks, chores, etc., -- and any thoughts of food craving for a specific food will be the last thing on your mind. You will have moved on.

Result? It will help you shed a couple of pounds.- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
