1 Low calorie intake - Most people make the mistake of starting their diet at very low calories. this makes you feel hungry and cause a lot of cravings and eventually, you lose your mind and end up doing binge eating. It's always better to start your diet with a small calorie deficit. Ideally always better to start 300-500 calories below your maintenance calories.
2 Low protein intake - Protein is one of the most satiating macronutrients. It keeps you full for long hours and therefore a diet that is low in protein will never keep you full. Good protein intake helps you to handle cravings in a much better way.
3 Fibre intake - Fibre is one of the most important factors which can keep your cravings in check. Fibre is required for good gut health and digestion. Less fibre can cause bad cravings and this might affect your consistency in dieting. Veggies and fruits that are rich in fibre should be a part of your diet. These are volume food that keeps you full despite being low-calorie food.
4 Dehydration - Water intake is very crucial and dehydration can cause cravings as well. Sometimes you are thirsty but you often mistake it as hunger and end up eating those extra calories. Keeping your body hydrated. Aim to drink 1 litre of water for every 25-30g of your bodyweight.
5 Mental awareness - Hunger is a part of calorie deficit. There are two types of hunger one when you are genuinely hungry and the other one is your mind playing with you out of boredom or any other emotional feeling. Keeping yourself aware can help you to manage cravings.
6 Other factors - Cravings can increase during their menstrual cycle because of hormonal changes. This is normal and you can increase your calories for that particular week to your maintenance calories so that you can manage your cravings efficiently. Emotional outbreaks and mood swings can also affect your eating habits. Sleep is another reason which will affect your hunger and craving.
