A: To curb cravings eat four to six light meals daily. These meals should include plenty of nutrient rich fruits and vegetables packed with natural sugars. Try replacing sugary processed snacks with a handful of grapes or berries. Giving in to your craving every now and then isn’t entirely bad just control your portion size, that means, two or three chocolate kisses not the entire bag. Should you find yourself overindulging, don’t feel guilty, tomorrow is another day to get back on track.
