Week 6 – Cravings

What I learned:

Cravings can be trigger by 3 factors Our environment, our body and our behaviours.

For the environment and behaviours it can be mitigated by controlling the bad environment and bad behaviours. (It in our hands to make those changes)

For our body it will help our metabolism by not skipping meals and not having long periods of time between meals and to have balanced meals. I should eat within 1- 1.5 hours of waking. Eat every 4-5 hours. include protein, vegetables and grains/starch/fruit at each meal.

Also for you body there our hormones can can be affected by inactivity, chronic stress and lack of sleep.  Find ways to do move more. Manage stress and develop coping skills. For sleep aim for 7.5 hours of quality sleep, no screen-time 1 hour before bed, set bedtime reminder and avoid caffeine 8 hours before bed.

What I did:

I tried by best to not give in  to cravings. But ones I did have a hand full of Cheetos.

How I felt:

Most of the week I felt good except when I gave in to my temptation.

My many temptation.
