EP237: Managing Food Desires to Fix Type 2 Diabetes
This episode discusses food cravings. Understanding and managing food cravings is crucial for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It's easy to blame the presence of tempting foods for our desires, but the truth lies in our thoughts. When faced with irresistible treats like donuts or candy, it's not the food itself that creates longing—it's the thoughts we have about them. By recognizing this, we can shift our mindset and develop strategies to combat cravings. Rather than fighting against our natural inclinations, we can nurture alternative beliefs that prioritize our well-being. This might involve reminding ourselves of the negative consequences of indulging, such as feeling sick or creating health issues. Additionally, practicing mindful eating, staying hydrated, and consuming balanced meals rich in protein and healthy fats can help regulate cravings. Ultimately, by understanding the psychology behind food desire and implementing practical strategies, we can empower ourselves to make healthier choices and improve our overall well-being.
