From the post:
If we examine them closely enough, our food cravings tell us a lot about our current state of health and well-being. In fact, it can be a very powerful and life-changing exercise to purposefully become aware of our cravings, examine them, and get to the root causes of why they abound.
Most of the time cravings have nothing to do with food at all, and exist because of lack in some other area in our lives. For example, when we are unfulfilled in our career powerful cravings for certain types of food have a tendency to pop up. The same can be said when our relationships, workout regimen or sleep patterns are not up to par.
This ideology is based on a concept called primary food that I learned about at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and often holds the key to uncovering effective solutions that can help you discontinue an unhealthy relationship with food.
Imagine discovering the real reasons why you crave sweets at 3pm everyday, or what drives you to gulp down a huge jug of coffee every morning, or why you have an unyielding desire for salty potato chips every night!
Although uncovering the root causes of your cravings is the most effective method for dealing with them (and certainly worthy of a separate article) there are a number of physical activities you can engage to curb cravings when they start calling your name.
