Tips on beating the cravings!

When you feel hungry, have a drink (water's best but juice or something will fill you up more) you might just be thirsty. If you're still hungry after 5 minutes then:
The Hunger Scale:
1 - You just feel a bit empty with a slight stomach ache.
2 - Number 1 just slightly worse.
3 - You feel really empty with a stomach ache.
4 & 5 you don't need to know but basically you get hungrier :).

Once you feel like you're on number 3 on the hunger scale after having a drink and waiting atleast 5 minutes then you can eat.
When you eat something here's what you should be eating:
Get a packet or two of cereal bars. Try to get low-calorie low-fat bars, I like Go Ahead Crispy Slices only 60 something calories and under 1% fat! Put a limit on how many cereal bars you eat in a day. For normal cereal bars try a maximum of 2 day, for the crispy slices try a maximum of 3 a day.
You're supposed to eat 5 small meals a day rather than 3 big ones a day so have smaller meals and snacks of the cereal bars. If you're still hungry after this then just eat fruit and vegetables!

Remember, drink lots of water!
