Three-quarters of those surveyed experienced a craving, compared to just 30% five decades ago.   It found a third of cravings were not for food, but items such as coal, soap, toothpaste and sponges. Ice and chocolate were also popular.   The poll of [...]

ABC News has published an article extolling the virtues of virtual reality in helping addicts deal with the issue of fighting off drug cravings as they go through recovery. This is great for those who are treating their opiate addiction at home using Suboxone, since the support provided by NA meetings and measures like this one can help take the edge off on the days when it’s harder than others to stick to the treatment.

Pregnancy is a funny thing. It can make you disgusted by things you used to love and it can make you drool over things you previously hated. Fortunately, from my experience, the aversions usually aren’t so bad after the first trimester. In my first pregnancy, I was turned off by chicken, turkey, and fish. In [...]

Don't know why but Hazel is hungry. Funny, I'm not aware of hunger at all and only remember to get lunch because of the mass walk-out of the office at 1200. Hazel has cream cheese, olives and smoked salmon for snacking, but she hankers after something sweet...

These two words always go together in my house. If I have a craving, it is ALWAYS for chocolate. So what do I buy for dark chocolate? I most often buy the Lindt Dark chocolate bars, and anything that is 70% or higher dark chocolate. The darker the chocolate, the more satisfying it is and [...]

Last night I tuned in for Melissa McCreery’s teleclass: How to REALLY Feed Your Cravings So You Can Lose Weight She discussed the 5 ways to feed yourself what you are really hungry for. Here is a brief overview: 1. Rest – Studies show sleep deprivation = weight gain. 2. Connection – We are social beings and hunger for close relationships. That is what I like about Iowa Avenue – the constant support and friendship of all our members. 3. Growth – We hunger for personal growth. Some people are natural born caretakers and never get around to taking care of themselves. It’s important to have your own dreams and goals. 4. Physical hunger – How well do you feed your senses? Your sense of taste, smell, touch, sound and need for visual beauty. 5. Play/fun – What do you like

Do you eat healthful, balanced meals all day long until 4 p.m. or so, when a sudden and irrepressible craving for rich, dark chocolate or salty, crunchy chips strikes? Does your mind consistently wander to that pint of coffee-chip ice cream, tucked away behind the frozen broccoli, an hour or so before bed?Lately, a popular theory attests that craving a particular food means you must be deficient in one of its ingredients. For example, you might believe that hamburger hankering is due to your need for the iron in red meat. But what's really behind those seemingly uncontrollable cravings, and how can you get a handle on them before they wreck your diet plan?Be a grazer. Nutritionists suggest that eating several small meals throughout the day (or three meals and a few light, low-fat snacks) c

Statistics say that over 70 per cent of smokers want to quit. So what's stopping them? For many, the thought of going through lengthy withdrawal symptoms is enough to send the hand snaking towards the Camel pack. In reality, the pangs are far less than people fear. But how long do they last?Giving up smoking is like getting addicted in reverse so it's important to understand the nicotine addiction process. Scientists used to think addiction was a long drawn out process taking up to a year. Now they've come to recognize it begins with the first puff when nicotine enters the brain.Nicotine is a psychoactive drug causing changes in brain chemistry. Researchers have found that nicotine takes over the reward pathways. These are an part of an area of the brain that rewards good and useful behavi

I went to McDonald's this morning. I had sworn off McDonald's. But yet there I found myself... "A large orange juice and an egg mcmuffin please!" Oh man. I am paying for that spontaneous breakfast now. Let's just say, my digestive system does not like McDonald's. I knew the girl who gave me my order... She was asking me if we were hoping for a girl this time. (which, what do I say to that?) As I pulled away Josiah said...."Mommy... it's taking FOREVER to have a baby girl. And FOREVER means we aren't going to have a baby girl."Yes dear... it is taking forever to have a baby girl.I've been craving the craziest things. I can't stand meat. I crave Orange Juice and Tomato Juice. And chocolate. Lot's of chocolate. I bought a bunch of chocolate pudding... and the kids were very upset

Probiotics have been in the news a lot recently with claims that some supermarket probiotic yogurts do not contain beneficial strains of bacteria nor enough of them to make a lot of difference.Now some interesting research has shown a connection between the bacteria in the digestive system, sugar cravings and overweight. One study showed that people who crave daily chocolate have different colonies of bacteria than people who claim not to have any cravings.The vast majority of bacteria in the gut belong to one of two groups known as Firmicutes and the Bacteroidetes. It seems that overweight people have a higher ratio of Firmicutes than Bacteroidetes and thin people have more Bacteroidetes.What causes this? How would gut bacteria make you fatter? From the research by Dr Shahni for his book

When you quit, driving, eating, drinking coffee or alcohol, or simply relaxing will trigger the urge, but most cravings to smoke last only three to five minutes. Then power of craving tends to decrease gradually until craving is gone. There are two ways to cope with cravings.1. Fight cravings as they come, one by one. The most effective way to do that is to interrupt your thought pattern immediately. Change your activity, do something different for a few minutes, and the craving will lose its power and be gone.2. Try a little reverse psychology - instead of fighting with the urge to smoke, relax and let the craving wash over you, and accept it as a sign of healing, which is just what it is. The urge will run its course and pass. Have some faith, and trust in the process of quitting smoking

So what can you do that will help you get through those 15 minutes? Go brush your teeth. Making your mouth feel nice and clean is good way to keep from putting food into your mouth until the cravings pass. Eat a pickle. This will affect the taste buds in your mouth and make whatever food you are craving go away. Journal about it. Write down how your feeling, what has been happening that could maybe be causing your cravings. Drink 8-10oz of water. Water can help to fill you up and if you drink enough, your craving should go away. Go outside and go for 15 minute walk or do some ab exercises for 15 minutes…get your mind on something else. Take a nice, hot bath and relax. Visualize your goals that you wish to achieve! I’m sure there are many other things that could help you pass the time until those cravings pass…share YOUR ideas with us!

What can you do to manage your cravings, stress and avoid weight gain during this holiday season?Allow yourself to have anything and everything you want to eat, but become a great manager of the foods you choose. The food you choose does not make you fat, but the amount might! Portion Control Is KEY!Serve yourself. Take small portions, eat slowly, and pay close attention to the cues of becoming full. Enjoy seconds but keep the portions small and don't feel guilty. Refuse to overindulge. Eat nuts one at a time, eliminate some of the crust on your piece of pie, and limit how much eggnog you drink. Try a family activity or work out inside, run up and down stairs, or sneak away to the gym, even for 20 minutes!Support yourself with kind words, instead of beating yourself up. Find support from friends or start a journal to keep up with your emotions. Remember, deprivation as well as over-indulgence can sabotage any reasonable food- plan, so enjoy everything in moderation. Happy Holidays!

By Subodh GuptaThere are many things you might know in terms of losing weight.There is the exercise regime you follow, the healthy low in fat and high in fibre diet you mastered, the 8 glasses of water you drink every day, the amount of food you have on your plate, and the time you eat.Equipped with all the knowledge you are determined to shed off those extra pounds from your thighs or midsection to become new you, the next Pamela Anderson or Daniel creg.Unfortunately after couple of weeks of your weight loss regime you are as the same as you started your journey.

By: Tera WarnerWeve all been through the tortures of cravings. Just thinking about that forbidden food can send a wave of urgency pulsing through us that can seem stronger than ourselves. If youve ever heard the expression:What you resist persiststhen you know that resistance is futile, and the more you try to avoid what youre craving, the more it impinges itself upon you.For anyone trying to implement new lifestyle choices, handling cravings can feel like it requires either superhero strength or some kind of magic. Here are a few solutions that just might do the trick when cravings strike.Before we even begin to address solutions for stubborn cravings, lets start by addressing the fact that some foods are ADDICTIVE -- just flat out physiologically addictive. When youre trying to remove these foods from your diet, it may require a bit more gusto to get through the process.The most common addictive foods are:CoffeeCheeseChocolateBread and Grain products (especially wheat)MeatIf these ar

You may have heard that if you get cravings for certain foods it means that you have a nutrient deficiency. Your body is trying to tell you to eat a food rich in that nutrient.Sorry to burst your bubble if you believed that was true. Come on now, do you really think that yearning for chocolate is caused by magnesium deficiency?Cravings are actually a desire to feel good.How? High fat, high calorie foods (a.k.a. junk food) causes the body to release "feel good" chemicals. That's why when you are feeling especially stressed or anxious, you decide to head to the nearest Dairy Queen for a large M&M blizzard!Its interesting that women tend to crave cookies, ice cream, and other sweet foods, while men are more likely to reach for a bag of Doritos or go to Burger King for a Whopper.Its possible that hormones play a role; PMS often brings on carbohydrate cravings for women.How do you keep cravings from controlling you, rather than you controlling them?

For those of you who are musically literate, no, I'm not posting about K.D. Lang.But I'm besieged by cravings right now. There's this deep seeded hunger clawing at my insides, and at any moment I'm either going to give in and seek satisfaction, or scream my throat raw. The latter is actually the worst of the two options, now that I break it down like that. After all, the kids are sleeping.I'm craving books. I keep bringing Amazon.ca up in another window, clickety-clicking my shopping cart full then, torn by indecision, closing the window and pretending it never happened. This has been going on for weeks.I turn now and look at the bookcases lining the far wall. Books, binders, toys. A set of dusty encyclopedias dating back to 1976. Some are Neil's, foreign to me. Mixing with books so very dear. Friends from otherwise friendless days. So many memories wrapped up in the ruffled pages and bent covers. The borrowed copy of C.S. Lewis' Cosmic Triology seems to shake with s

I'm dying for Mom's home cooked food. I miss hinava. It's been years since I've eaten it! Spoken like that, it sounds like I'm far away from home, and yet it's only a 20 minutes plane ride away. ^-^ It's almost been 7 months since I last went. I would really like to go back, it's just that I have a few things on my plate, which is kinda stopping me from going back home.My culinary expertise is practically non-existent. Which is why most of the stuff I've been attempting to cook every once in a while ends up a charred black mess. x_x That doesn't help when you have guy friends who can cook. And not too badly, might I add. Recently, Rex cooked for us a sample of what her normally cooks for the tourists he has to bring. Let's just say most of the dishes consisted of pork. Heh. It's just unfortunate that I have no pictures to show.After my brief stint into anti-social mode, the house was an influx of guests last weekend. Which was kinda refreshing.

Here’s some midnight cravings. Check out the Star Trek that finally got SOLD for 5 times its market value! Talk about Hybrid cars with solar panels on the roof! I’ve seen some RVs near my neighborhood in SF that are like this but for hybrid cars? It’s not new technology but great re-make of old technology. I do like the BMW Hydrogen Ecology Vehicle that’s coming up soon. Get the cool McQueen bed if you can’t afford a real car like me. The Thermal power generator is awesome!

Craving Sticky Rice. In this new feature of Dishin’ Dat, I’ll describe some of my favorite appetizers in my regular eating haunts around town.These days I no longer eat a full meal when I go out, which is 4 or 5 times per week. Dinner portions are too filling, and I find myself waddling from the table if I manage to finish my plate. When I order a full meal, I usually bring home a doggie bag. However, expensive food seldom tastes good after it’s been sitting in a fridge and reheated in a microwave, so I’ve gotten in the habit of ordering appetizers instead.My favorite appetizer restaurant of the moment is Sticky Rice on Main Street.Dahlings, the Sushi Chefs in this place are anything but Japanese. Half of them look like they graduated from some northeastern art or medical school. I sit in my favorite spot in the corner (see photo on left) watching the chefs prepare sushi, the traffic whiz by on Main Street, and the regulars walk through the door. My appetizer of choice? Sticky

Erwin McManus, cranks some stuff out. He works at a faith community in LA called Mosaic, he is also a speaker at conferences all across the country, and he tries to shoot out a book every couple years. Sounds like he has a Woody Allen work ethic. This week I finished his latest book, Soul Cravings. I have been turned off to McManus in the past few years. Whereas, he has written some things that have completely shaped my idea of how to live my life (Seizing your Divine Moment, An Unstoppable Force), he recent works have just been this Barbarian life stuff. Each book turned to restate what he had previously written, with the same proposals and sometimes different stories. I was recently sent Soul Cravings and decided to give it a shot, even though Barbarian Way had left me dissapointed and felt shafted with the price of an unoriginal mini-book. I was glad the new book had nothing to do with Barbarians. I was also glad he started to write it in the style of a journal. Soul Cravings is a

Salty? Sweet? Do potato chips and dip hit the spot or is it a chocolate chip cookie warm from the oven? Now that I've got you thinking, and wishing, and wanting. . . . What about our other cravings--to belong, to make a difference, to be noticed? How do we fill those? Do we covet what others have on their plate instead of being content with what's on ours? I have really enjoyed reading
