How To Curb Cravings Without Restriction

KAT RENTAS
About this episode

You want to lower your cravings with foods you love, but you don’t want to restrict yourself from them completely.

I get it. It’s easy to feel stuck when you want to enjoy foods you love, but you feel like you have no control with them.

The solution isn’t to restrict yourself from foods. It’s to tackle the root of the problem: the fact that you crave the foods so strongly in the first place.

In this episode, you’ll learn the balance between naturally lowering cravings and not needing to restrict yourself from foods you find enjoyable.

We’ll dive deep into:

→ Why cravings actually exist and what makes them useful

→ The difference between restriction and deprivation with food

→ What reality to expect when saying no to your cravings

→ The process of lowering your cravings without restriction 

Saying no to your food cravings isn’t an all-or-nothing approach. You can end your emotional eating without eliminating access to foods you find most enjoyable. 

Achieving this balance is crucial for healthy eating to feel maintainable and sustainable.
