CRAVING CRUSHER #1
Just last year, a study from the University of Wyoming made a fascinatingdiscovery: Cardio exercise squashes an enormous appetite. A group of womenengaged in active exercise, and after the workout, they were given theopportunity to feast at an enormous buffet. On alternate days, they were toldto sit quietly for an hour before being welcomed to the buffet. You would thinkthat the exercise days would be the hungry days, right? After all, an intenseworkout creates a huge appetite. However, the researchers were flummoxed.On workout days, the women ate lessthan the sedentary days!
The secret was in the hormones. Exercise causes a spike in the production ofthe hormone ghrelin. A ghrelin spike tells the human body to eat a lot. But theghrelin release also causes a cascade of other hormones, including the onesthat control satiety. The resulting hormone cocktail tells the body to eat less,not more. The post-workout women had naturally lowered their appetite andwere less likely to overeat. The conclusions were straightforward: Exercisecauses a complex hormonal interaction that keeps you from overeating. Yetanother great reason to get moving.

It may seem counterintuitive to snack your way to weight loss, but there’s asolid logic behind this trick. The most common times for cravings are mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and late night. Rather than view these cravings asnegative forces, respond to them by eating. Your body is secreting moreghrelin, telling you “EAT!” Here’s the key, though. Don’t just eat anything. Here’sthe short list of top-notch snacking solutions:
Nuts: A handful nuts will give your body a dose of oleic acid, a healthy form offat that can quickly decrease the craving level. 1 Tbsp of Peanut butter works,too.Avocados: Getting in a daily avo is the perfect way to introduce a whole medleyof nutrients. Plus, it gives the smack down to screaming demands for food.Grapefruit: This juicy slice of goodness is the perfect way to say farewell to aravenous appetite. Researchers at the Metabolic Research Center of ScrippsClinic found data that grapefruit helps weight loss, perhaps by reducing insulinlevels.
EAT MORE.

At the University of Rhode Island, researchers did a studyinvolving chewing gum. In this study, subjects were told tochew gum for at least an hour in the morning. Those who didate less at lunchtime — an average of 67 calories less!
The chewing motion has neurological effects, signaling thebrain that you are eating, even if you’re not taking in calories.The brain tells the ghrelin to back off, and your appetiteretreats. If you can’t grab a grapefruit during your morningbreak, reach for a stick of gum instead.
