Add more proteins to your diet
If you follow a diet based on protein and good carbs, you will feel fuller for longer and your athletic performance will improve as well. Protein will also help you build more muscle, but it’s important to know exactly how much protein you should eat on a daily basis. If you eat extra protein, you won’t build more muscle, instead, you risk affecting your health.Â
“Addressing the source of carb cravings can help create better control of when you choose to eat them. One of the best ways to reduce physical cravings is to eat a high-protein breakfast. This helps to improve post-meal satiety and prevent the afternoon energy crash and subsequent sugar craving,” said Miriam Jacobson, MS, RD, CDN, functional medicine dietitian.
