Instructions

  Eat three regular meals a day. Everyone should eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, according to "William's Essentials of Nutrition & Diet Therapy." Getting lean meats, lots of fruits and vegetables, healthy dairy and whole grains can help keep a person from getting cravings.

• 2

  Have two snacks a day. Since ayushveda.com suggests eating every four hours it would then be wise to eat a snack between breakfast and lunch, and then one between lunch and dinner.

  Chose snacks that trick your mind into thinking you gave it a sweet treat. Fresh fruits, according to "Nutrition:The Science of Eating," contain natural sugars that can help fight off cravings in a healthy way. Fruits are full of vitamins and nutrients that can also help keep your body strong.
