Get Out of a Rut
Sure, cravings usually have a physiological reason behind them, like stress, fatigue or a lack of certain minerals in the body, but behavior can also play a big part in keeping them alive. If you like to stick to a daily routine -- and sometimes get in the pattern of eating the same thing for lunch or dinner for days in a row -- then your cravings may have become a bad habit. To break the cycle, mix it up: Ditch your regular lunch for another healthy alternative, so your brain doesn't automatically crave that cookie or piece of chocolate for dessert. Also try and vary where you eat; if it's usually at your desk on in the office conference room, try going outside to a park, taking a book along to a nearby cafe or joining colleagues for a meal. Any break in routine can help cravings go from habit to history -- just be sure to be regular about your irregularity, since temptation can be a hard habit to break.
