TOPICS COVERED:

WHY DO WE EXPERIENCE CRAVINGS?
THE MOST PREVALENT MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE CAUSES OF CRAVINGS
MISCONCEPTION #1: CRAVINGS ARE A SIGN OF A NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY
MISCONCEPTION #2: CRAVINGS ARE CAUSED BY DIETARY RESTRAINT OR FOOD RESTRICTION
THE BENEFIT OF USING A MORE STRUCTURED EATING APPROACH EARLY ON & RESTRICTING TRIGGER FOODS DURING A FAT LOSS PHASE
THE MOST EFFECTIVE EVIDENCE-BASED WAYS TO REDUCE CRAVINGS
MINDFULNESS & ACCEPTANCE-BASED STRATEGIES
FLOATING LEAF VISUALIZATION
URGE SURFING
MINDSET SHIFTS TO REDUCE CRAVINGS
REAPPRAISAL: SHIFTING HOW YOU THINK ABOUT A CRAVING
FOCUSING ON THE “LATER” MINDSET OVER THE “NOW” MINDSET
