10 top tips to beat the munchies

Got the munchies? Having enough willpower to overcome your appetite for snack foods isn’t always easy. Try these 10 top tips to beat the munchies

Speaking of appetite, it’s important to differentiate true hunger from your appetite; they’re not the same thing. Hunger is your body’s need for food, while your appetite is really more about cravings. Since we’re talking about munchies, they often fall under the umbrella of appetite.

Here are a few tips to help you rein in your cravings…

1. Keep tempting foods out of reach
Control your environment. If you do the shopping, don’t buy snack foods. If you don’t do the shopping, ensure that these foods are in cupboards and out of sight. Maybe even do a shop online and shop from a fresh organic supplier to stop you buying the BOGOFS at the supermarket. Ask colleagues to keep sweets/choccy in tight containers. Simply seeing snack foods can fuel cravings.
