Understand your food cravings and learn how to handle them without using willpower
Description
Cravings.
We all have them.
Some are really intense.
Others are quieter, more subtle.
All of them feel like an emergency in the moment. We can feel powerless against them.
Not knowing how to say no to them without using will power, feeling deprived, and restricted...to the point, we just end up caving to them.
Will on the surface, cravings and urges seem like a sign of your failing will power. They're not.
There can be a few different reasons you're experiencing cravings:
-mental/ emotional stress
-your hormones are out of check
-something is off with your gut
Understanding what a craving/ urge is and where it comes from will help you handle them without relying solely on will power, feeling deprived/ restricted, or always caving to them.
