How to beat your food cravings

For those of us who think the only response to fattening food cravings is to deny them, registered dietitan and cravings counsellor Naomi Orzech has good news.

"We should indulge our cravings," says Orzech. "When we deny ourselves an entire food category, whether it's starch or sweets, we deny our bodies and our minds valuable enjoyment and possibly nutrients."

The key, says Orzech, is to indulge responsibly, use portion control, exercise and keep to a well-balanced diet. Good advice and, for the most part, nothing new to chronic dieters.

On the following slides find Orzech's top 10 ways to beat your food cravings.
