3 CRAVING CRUSHER #1 CARDIO Just last year, a study from the University of Wyoming made a fascinating discovery: Cardio exercise squashes an enormous appetite. A group of women engaged in active exercise, and after the workout, they were given the opportunity to feast at an enormous buffet. On alternate days, they were told to sit quietly for an hour before being welcomed to the buffet. You would think that the exercise days would be the hungry days, right? After all, an intense workout 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 of the hormone ghrelin. A ghrelin spike tells the human body to eat a lot. But the ghrelin release also causes a cascade of other hormones, including the ones that control satiety. The resulting hormone cocktail tells the body to eat less, not more. The post-workout women had naturally lowered their appetite and were less likely to overeat. The conclusions were straightforward: Exercise causes a complex hormonal interaction that keeps you from overeating. Yet another great reason to get moving.

5 CRAVING CRUSHER #3 EAT MORE. It may seem counterintuitive to snack your way to weight loss, but there s a solid logic behind this trick. The most common times for cravings are midmorning, mid-afternoon, and late night. Rather than view these cravings as negative forces, respond to them by eating. Your body is secreting more ghrelin, telling you EAT! Here s the key, though. Don t just eat anything. Here s the short list of top-notch snacking solutions: Nuts: A handful nuts will give your body a dose of oleic acid, a healthy form of fat 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 medley of 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 a ravenous appetite. Researchers at the Metabolic Research Center of Scripps Clinic found data that grapefruit helps weight loss, perhaps by reducing insulin levels.

6 CRAVING CRUSHER #4 CHEW GUM At the University of Rhode Island, researchers did a study involving chewing gum. In this study, subjects were told to chew gum for at least an hour in the morning. Those who did ate less at lunchtime an average of 67 calories less! The chewing motion has neurological effects, signaling the brain that you are eating, even if you re not taking in calories.
