The post Helpful Tips To Stop Eating Junk Food appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Recent studies suggest that junk food accounts for about 50% of the average American’s daily caloric intake. Junk food is the umbrella term that describes ultra-processed foods and drinks, such as fast food, soda, candy, packaged cookies, and salty snack foods. Although there is nothing wrong with enjoying ice cream, chips, or baked goods from time to time, junk food should not be a regular part of your diet. Consuming too much of it can be detrimental to your mental and physical health. 

People who consume more junk food have a higher risk of obesity, fatty liver, depression, high blood pressure, heart disease, and certain cancers. You may understand this reality, but the problem is that junk food is so appealing. The brain encourages you to seek pleasurable experiences, such as enjoying tasty food. This natural encouragement is the brain’s “reward” system. When you eat tasty food, including junk food, you activate that reward system and the brain releases dopamine. This rush of pleasure causes the brain to create more receptors to respond to that dopamine rush. Ultimately, you care more about junk food the more you eat it because you have that reward system in place. 

If you currently eat a lot of junk food and want to kick your habit, the methods in this article may be effective for you. The following tips are evidence-based, so experiment with them to see which ones work for you. 

Fuel Your Body Regularly

You may think that depriving your body of calories or being overly restrictive with food will lead to weight loss. This tactic can actually have the opposite effect, causing you to ravenously eat foods, many of which are unhealthy. There is a complex relationship between calorie restriction and the cravings you have. The research, however, shows that skipping meals or depriving the body of certain foods can increase cravings and snacking. Everyone has different caloric needs, but you should aim to fuel your body with fiber-rich, protein-rich, and nutrient-dense meals and snacks. When you provide your body with these types of foods, you will reduce your cravings for junk food

Get Enough Sleep

Whether you want to believe it or not, insufficient sleep can cause you to make poor food choices. Additionally, lack of sleep increases your desire for junk food because it is quick, easy, and highly accessible. Studies confirm that lack of sleep, or irregular sleep patterns, can increase your caloric intake, snacking, and cravings for high-fat, high-sugar foods. In fact, just one night of poor sleep can affect your food choices the next day. A 2019 study found that reducing sleep time by 33% (two to three hours of sleep) caused increased hunger cravings, compared to a normal night of sleep. To protect your food choices, get between seven to nine hours of sleep per night

Consider Taking Inventory Of Your Pantry

If you have junk food in your house, especially if you know where to find it, you will likely gravitate towards it. Consider swapping out ultra-processed food products with more nutritious options. Junk food that is palatable and addictive is dangerous to have in your house. The research shows that just looking at tempting foods can stimulate the striatum, an area in the brain that regulates appetite and reward from food intake. Looking at cookies, candy, or chips may lead to snacking, overeating, and eating even if you are not hungry. Do a pantry overhaul to see which foods need to go. Stock your counter with fresh fruit instead of keeping candy in your pantry!

Cook More Meals At Home

Not only does cooking at home save you money, but it can also help you cut back on junk food. Stopping at a fast food establishment, although convenient, is not conducive to your health journey. Cooking at home, especially if you meal prep, can help you decrease your reliance on convenience foods. Additionally, meal prepping is a great way to ensure that you always have healthy food options. Many studies indicate that people who cook more have better quality diets, enjoying more servings of fruits and vegetables per day. They also eat less food than people who dine out often. 

Eat More Filling Foods

Struggling with what to eat? It can be beneficial to learn more about how certain foods impact your body and hunger levels. That knowledge can help you devise a better plan of attack for your meals, and may help you cut back on your junk food intake as well. Most junk foods are high in calories, but they don’t fill you up. Ever notice how you can eat an entire bag of chips and still be hungry? That is why it benefits you to eat foods that are higher in protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Consider eating homemade overnight oats or chia pudding instead of grabbing a donut and coffee on your way to work. You can also opt for a fruit and vegetable smoothie to satiate you until lunch!

Grocery Shop Regularly

If you want to make more food at home and stop eating junk food, a well-stocked kitchen makes that task much more doable. Studies have shown that people who grocery shop regularly have better quality diets than people who don’t. Additionally, those people eat much less ultra-processed foods. When you go to the grocery store, make sure to take a grocery list and stick to it. Avoid going to the store when you are hungry because that will cause you to make impulse purchases that do nothing for your health.

The urge to eat sugar can be mighty, especially if you feel drowsy in the afternoon and a coworker bought donuts for the office. The crazy thing is that sugar tempts you and it’s difficult to resist it, despite the fact that you aren’t hungry. Some people rely on sugar or find it difficult to pass up dessert after a meal. According to researchers, roughly 86% of people who had sugar cravings thought about high-calorie foods, especially ones that contained chocolate.

Now, when sugar cravings strike, you can reach for other, healthier foods that help satisfy your desire. It may come as a surprise to you to learn that substituting blueberries for chocolate keeps sugar cravings at bay. Reducing the amount of sugar you consume is paramount to overall health, considering the average American adult consumes over triple the recommended daily amount of sugar. Eating too much sugar can lead to complicated health conditions like high blood pressure, weak immune system, and liver damage. 

Healthy alternatives may not taste like donuts or ice cream, but they satisfy your sweet tooth in the same way. Their natural sugars are much healthier than the added or artificial sugars in most processed foods. When the craving for something sweet strikes, consider grabbing one of the following foods instead. 

Pistachios

You can thank the combination of healthy fats, fiber, and protein for curbing your sugar cravings. Pistachios are an excellent snack, but be mindful of how many you eat, as too many can easily increase your caloric intake. A 2020 study found that eating pistachios helped decrease the consumption of sweets. Additionally, they helped promote weight loss in adults with obesity. 

Oats

Not only can oats help stave off hunger, but they also help to reduce glucose levels and curb sugar cravings. Naturally rich in soluble fiber, rolled old-fashioned oats or steel-cut oats are the best options to choose. The instant oatmeal packets are unhealthy and contain added sugars and processed ingredients. Plus, a bowl of oatmeal will help you avoid the carbohydrate spike that most breakfast cereals induce. 

Protein

The one-two punch that knocks out your sugar cravings is the combination of protein and fruit. Protein and the natural sugars from fruits help to reduce sugar cravings by balancing blood sugar levels. A 2015 study monitored adults with obesity and the results indicated that increasing protein intake by 25% significantly reduced cravings.

Berries

Berries are natural sources of water, fiber, and powerful antioxidants. They happen to be some of the best fruits to eat when sugar cravings strike. Berries are low-glycemic fruits, providing plenty of sweetness without spiking blood sugar levels. They also help you feel fuller and may improve insulin sensitivity. 

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are tiny, but mighty when it comes to their nutritional profile. They are rich in protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids, making them excellent for curbing sugar cravings. A 2017 study found that eating chia seeds with unsweetened Greek yogurt helped reduce cravings for sugary foods. This meal option also increased feelings of satiety. You can also make your own chia pudding, which is an excellent breakfast or snack option. Click here for recipes. 

Water

Is water going to satisfy your craving for chocolate cake? Absolutely not. Being dehydrated, however, can make you crave sweet treats even if you aren’t hungry. Many people often misinterpret thirst and dehydration as hunger. According to several studies, drinking more water helps to reduce feelings of hunger and food cravings. A 2018 study monitored a group of overweight people who drank an extra 1.5 liters of water per day. At the end of the study, participants not only weighed less, but also had less body fat and fewer cravings. 

Healthy Fats

Foods like avocados, nuts, seeds, olives, and coconut, olive, avocado, and walnut oils are excellent sources of heart-healthy fats. Eating more healthy fats can actually help you displace excess sugar from your diet. Plus, they work to keep the body satisfied for longer between meals. That means you can experience fewer energy dips and your interest in sugary foods may wane.

When your goal is to lose weight or eat healthier, it’s common to experience severe cravings. The last thing you want to do is eat a bag of chips after enjoying a refreshing salad. Yet, this is exactly what happens to dieters. What’s the cause of common slip-ups? Why do people break their diet and start including the wrong foods at the wrong time? 

Some people choose eating plans to avoid a health problem, while others use them to aid with weight loss. Little things that you do can derail your dieting efforts, but it’s possible to put an end to these cravings before they start. You can avoid the disappointing mindset of a dietary mess up when you stop making the following mistakes. Statistically, the mistakes below trigger cravings, whether you realize it or not. Fortunately, you can learn to prevent them. 

Your Snacking Is Lacking

Diets don’t restrict you from snacking, but there are snacks that are more nutritious than others. A seemingly “filling” snack may induce hunger cravings for sugary or salty treats, depending on what you eat. The ideal snack is a perfect combination of protein and fiber, and doesn’t exceed 200 calories per serving. Fiber works to satiate you, making you less prone to reach for unhealthy treats. Click here to learn about snacks that are 150 calories or less and provide the body with sustenance, as opposed to empty calories. 

You Don’t Eat Enough During The Day

It’s easy to while away the evening hours on the couch in front of your TV. Unfortunately, many people equate TV time with snack time, which can lead to overeating. You should ideally consume the majority of your calories during the day, making lunch the largest meal. The reason for this is because limiting food during the day can cause overeating at night. You won’t just eat a larger dinner; rather, you’ll continue snacking after dinner is over. When you eat too much in the evening, it’s common to experience heartburn or digestive discomfort, which can negatively affect sleep. Don’t save up daytime calories for nighttime meals and snacks!

You Don’t Address Your Stress

Mental health plays a larger role in diet than you realize. This isn’t just about willpower; rather, too much stress in the body creates cravings for unhealthy foods. When you cannot control stress, the adrenal glands release cortisol, which amps up appetite and the motivation to eat. When cortisol levels remain high, the person doesn’t often consider what they should eat or if it is approved for their diet. They just eat whatever is in sight because they cannot think straight. Numerous studies found that high stress levels cause people to choose foods that are higher in fats and sugars. The combination of excess stress with high blood sugar levels causes excess ghrelin production, which increases hunger and cravings. 

Your Eating Is Too Restrictive

Yes, this is indeed a thing. Some diets require you to eat in an unrealistic way that can not only be incredibly difficult, but also too different from what you know. It’s not a negative thing to eat outside your comfort zone, but restricting too much can cause you to pig out in an unhealthy way. Avoiding sweets, or any sweet ingredient, for the rest of time will cause you to crave sweets and cave very quickly. A reasonable treat here and there will keep you from losing control. Don’t be too restrictive or else you’ll end up in the fridge with cake in your hand and chocolate on your face wondering how you got there. 

You Keep Temptations In The House

When you know that a box of cookies is in your cabinet, the mental battle is always on. How long will you survive against the processed temptation? If you are watching TV at night and want a cookie, you’re going to go get it. That cookie may turn into four, which may turn into 10. If you don’t keep temptations in the house, you’re less likely to eat them. If you reach in the cabinet to grab a handful of cashews and see BBQ chips, it’s only a matter of time before you’re licking the chip residue off your fingers. Surround yourself with healthier food options and get rid of any foods that will tempt you to cheat on your diet.

Water is more essential than food, although people place more emphasis on meals than their daily intake of water. It’s possible to live without food for up to three weeks, but the body cannot survive without water for more than three or four days. If the body doesn’t receive the water it needs, it becomes difficult to absorb nutrients and remove waste. Hydration is necessary if you want to live.

What Is Dehydration?

The body enters a state of dehydration when it loses more fluid than you take in. Without a sufficient water supply, the body cannot carry out its normal functions. The body starts to lose water and electrolytes, like potassium and sodium, during a state of dehydration. These electrolytes and water help us move, talk, breathe, and do everything else. Babies, children, and the elderly are the most at risk of being dehydrated. 

The body is an intelligent, complex system, and it lets you know when it needs more water. Whether or not you pay attention and recognize these signs is another story altogether. That’s why knowing about the warning signs of dehydration can only benefit you in the long run. Being thirsty is a telltale sign that the body needs water, but what about other indicators? Continue reading to learn about other common warning signs of dehydration.

5 Warning Signs Of Dehydration

Dark Urine

This is a widely known symptom of dehydration. If your urine is dark yellow, medium yellow, or even orange, the body is likely dehydrated. The darker color indicates that urine is more concentrated. There isn’t an abundance of water, which turns urine a lighter shade of yellow, or even clear. That’s the color urine should be. You can learn a lot about your health through your urine. Click here to learn more. 

Bad Breath

If you are in a state of dehydration, you may notice that the mouth doesn’t produce as much saliva as it typically does. Saliva contains antibacterial properties that help to discourage bacterial overgrowth in the mouth. If there isn’t enough saliva in the mouth, bacteria can easily grow. This creates a foul stench, which results in bad breath. You’re familiar with morning breath, right? The body doesn’t receive water during sleep, and saliva production slows. That’s why you wake up with an unpleasant taste in your mouth. That’s also why it’s beneficial to hydrate first thing in the morning before you eat. 

Body Cramps

Body cramps don’t always indicate that the body is in a state of dehydration. Muscle fatigue is a likely culprit, but it is possible to experience cramping from a sodium deficit. If the body loses fluid or sodium, full body cramping is quite common, and so is exertional heat cramping. When you work out, the body loses water and salt via sweat. That’s why you always have to hydrate post workout. For optimal electrolyte replenishment, consider drinking fresh coconut water or another natural electrolyte drink. Click here for a natural electrolyte drink recipe. 

Cravings For Sweets

When the body is dehydrated, it’s hard for the liver or other organs to release glycogen. These organs use water and release other components of the body’s energy stores. This can ultimately lead to food cravings, specifically for sweets. If you have a craving for chocolate or a salty snack, the body is telling you that it needs help breaking down glycogen to release glucose into the bloodstream. That is the body’s fuel, so the next time you crave sweets, drink a glass of water because you are most likely in need of water. 

Constipation

It’s no secret that hydrated people tend to have regular, healthy bowel movements. The reason for this is because water helps to lubricate the digestive track, and it assists with moving food through the digestive tract. If bowel movements are hard or difficult to pass, it can be a sign that you are dehydrated. This is also a common symptom of unhealthy eating or lacking fiber in the diet. 

To ensure that the body does not enter a state of dehydration, try your best to consume half your bodyweight in ounces of water per day. If you weigh 150 pound and divide that by two to get 75, you should drink 75 ounces of water every day. You may need to adjust the water intake if you engage in physical activity.

Are these common food ‘rules’ diets in disguise? It turns out that stressing about holiday eating can backfire and lead to weight gain.

Dieting during the holidays is like understanding Inception the first time you watch it: it just doesn’t happen. The intention is there, but pumpkin spice this and peppermint chocolate that make you weak and cause you to break down. You go from avoiding everything you shouldn’t eat to stuffing your face in a matter of seconds. Why and how does this happen? 

The holidays are stressful enough without worrying about your diet. In fact, food is often the primary cause of stress for most people during the holidays. More often than not, stressing about food causes unhealthy cravings and leads to the fabled holiday weight gain, which you were stressing about to begin with. Worrying about food choices is exactly what you should avoid during the holidays. 

Everything In Moderation Is Perfectly Fine

When you constantly stress about anything, the body releases cortisol, also known as the stress hormone. Studies found that cortisol increases fat storage and can cause you to consume more calories. We want to assure you that it’s perfectly fine to indulge in holiday treats every now and again. Moderation is key and a little taste of something won’t cause you to gain ten pounds. This model of thinking is more beneficial than eating a ton and saying that you’ll burn off those calories, or that you’ll exercise a lot before a big meal to make up for it. That never works. This is why we want you to abandon the following “rules” that tend to lead to more weight gain during the holidays. 

Skipping Meals To “Save Room” For Later

Oh, this old pearl of wisdom that never works out. The waiting game is a fool’s errand because you inevitably become irritable and fatigued. According to several dietitians, missing out on essential nutrients all day easily backfires and causes you to eat without control later on. When you skip meals, your body misses cues for hunger and fullness. This means that when it comes time to eat a meal, your body won’t signal you when it is actually full, so you’ll eat until you hate yourself. 

Occasional Treats Actually Help Your Diet

So you’re telling us that you’re going to make it through the holidays without a cup of hot cocoa or a slice of pumpkin pie? As long as you don’t eat pecan pie, stuffing, pumpkin spiced lattes, and gravy every meal, the occasional indulgence won’t kill you. When you avoid treats altogether, you tend to get frustrated from abstaining and then don’t eat mindfully when you do indulge. Don’t swear off comfort foods or sweets during the holidays; rather, focus on savoring the little bites you do take between other healthy items. 

The Diet Starts In The New Year So Eating Whatever Is Fine

That is the biggest lie you can tell yourself during the holidays. You cannot justify eating whatever you want simply because your diet starts in the New Year. One psychotherapist said that abandoning dieting like this leads to an inability to acknowledge natural hunger and fullness cues actually leads to overeating. When you set a date to start your diet, you abandon self control until that point. That makes dieting much more difficult when the start date rolls around. Focus on consuming nutritious foods throughout the holidays and set a resolution to eat in a non-restrictive and mindful way. 

Healthy Swaps To Enjoy Things Guilt-Free

Many nutritionists tell people to enjoy the foods they love, without overdoing it of course. Allow yourself the small serving of mashed potatoes with gravy or spoonful of Mac n’ cheese. These aren’t dishes you eat on the regular, so why should you deprive yourself of them when they’re made? Making healthy renditions of these classic meals doesn’t typically yield the same satisfactory feeling. Sometimes, the dissatisfaction with these healthy swaps (think cauliflower for potatoes) leads to overeating of the real dishes. Let food comfort the soul, as long as it is in moderation.

Food Is Calories That You Can Burn Off

This is a terrible way to think about food. This way of thinking causes you to view food in a negative light, even though it may not seem that way. A biscuit doesn’t equal a two-mile run and a piece of pecan pie doesn’t doesn’t equal a high-intensity workout. There’s no need to exercise to make up for what you eat. You just have to listen to your body. Don’t refuse a serving of food, but if someone offers you another portion and you’re full, please recognize that and decline. If something calls out to you, please enjoy it if you aren’t full. Throw the “earn-and-burn” mindset out the window and eat if you want something, and pass on food if you’re full.

The post 8 Reasons Why You Need To Cleanse Your Body appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

]]>

The average person’s body typically has a lot of built up impurities inside the body. The accumulation of toxins and waste manifests in the form of poor digestion, sore joints, achy muscles, brain fog, frequent headaches, gas, inflammation, acne, and more. The body has the ability to eliminate toxins, but roughly half of the world’s population consumes more toxins than the body can eliminate. This is where cleansing comes into play. 

What Is A Cleanse?

A cleanse is typically a series of supplements that work to clean and rejuvenate the body’s major organs and systems. It is often accompanied by a special diet (the raw vegan diet in the case of the Dherbs Full Body Cleanse) that provides optimal nourishment and enhances the cleansing process. Most people use cleanses to lose weight, but this is merely a benefit. The primary purpose of a cleanse is to hit the reset button on the body, and cleansing can result in better sleep, improved sexual function, clearer skin, mental clarity, reduced allergy symptoms, and more energy.

When you decide to cleanse, you can expect to experience the following benefits.  

You’ll Reboot The Body

Cleansing the body is comparable to taking your car in for service. You don’t want to drive around in something that operates poorly, right? Treat your body the same way! When you take a break from unhealthy foods, addictive substances (caffeine, sugar, processed foods, alcohol, etc.), the body can get back to normal, the original factory settings if you will. 

You’ll Have More Energy

More often than not, the average person experiences fatigue or sluggishness. This is occasionally attributed to a caffeine or sugar crash, but hydrogenated oils and fatty foods also contribute to fatigue. By eliminating all of those foods and focusing on water, fresh fruits, vegetables, and raw nuts and seeds, you can increase energy levels. For example, people find that they experience fewer midday crashes and they wake up with more energy during the cleansing process. The improved energy also comes from the ability to sleep better, which is another benefit of cleansing

You’ll Kick Your Cravings

Flour and sugar are two of the most biologically addictive foods. The food industry has hacked the biology of many people, because these foods alter brain chemistry, metabolism, and hormones. Food manufacturers create what is known as “the bliss point” to lure people to buy more of their foods. Sugar is roughly eight times more addictive than cocaine, which is why many people have a hard time kicking sugar cravings. Cleansing the body helps you get off that junk food hamster wheel! You’ll feel so good that you won’t even want to eat those foods after your cleanse. 

You’ll Improve Digestion

A high percentage of diseases originate in the digestive tract, specifically in the colon. This is primarily because people can store 15-25 pounds of undigested waste in the digestive system. Cleansing naturally increases your fiber intake, which helps to move food through the digestive tract. Lubricating the intestinal walls can also get rid of built-up waste, improving the overall function of the digestive system. 

You’ll Have Clearer Skin

Environmental pollutants and toxins from your diet can affect the largest organ in the body: your skin. Most people don’t consider that certain foods, which they regularly eat, cause acne, breakouts, hives, or rashes. Cleansing these foods from the body gives you a reset, and your skin can have a chance to thrive again. As toxins leave the body, it is possible to experience an increase in acne or patchiness, but these are common symptoms of cleansing. Don’t worry, things will clear up and you can experience improved complexion, reduced blemishes, and even a youthful glow.

You’ll Lose Weight

This is the primary reason that people decide to cleanse. If people don’t lose weight it’s because they either have an underlying health condition that prevents weight loss or a hormonal imbalance. Cleansing forces you to eliminate common foods that pack on the pounds, including sugar, simple carbs, greasy foods, meats, dairy products, and more. Eliminating the residual toxins from those foods can help the body release weight more efficiently than a simple calorie counting diet.

You’ll Have Healthier Habits

It’s easy to be healthy for 10 or 20 days, but being healthy for a year is even better. When you see and feel the difference in the way your body functions, you want to keep that feeling going long after the cleanse is over. Learning about healthier recipes and what you can do with different foods helps you form habits for a healthier life. Replacing old unhealthy foods with healthier foods makes your health a priority!

You’ll Restore Internal Balance

You may or may not notice this benefit, but it’s the most important one. The body contains a complex series of systems that intertwine and work together. They can’t function optimally if one or more of those systems is plagued by toxins. By cleansing the entire body, you help to restore balance to your internal systems, which can lead to better overall health.

The decision to cleanse is an admirable one, but it is scary for many people. Cleansing is drastically different from what most people are used to, but a dramatic change is often a necessary alarm to get your health back on track. Between taking the herbal supplements in our Full Body Cleanse and only consuming a raw vegan diet, you have your work cut out for you. If you put in the work and follow the regimen diligently, you will feel rejuvenated, as though you opened a new, healthy chapter in life.

What Are The Benefits Of Cleansing?

First and foremost, the Full Body Cleanse is designed to clean out the body’s major organs and systems. One of the main benefits of the cleanse is weight loss between 10 to 30 pounds over the course of the 20 days.* This is very attractive for people who struggle with weight management. Often times, cleansing illuminates a path out of the darkness, showing people that they can use food to keep their bodies as healthy as possible. Other benefits of the Dherbs Full Body Cleanse include:

  • Reduced sugar and junk food cravings
  • Immune system support
  • Enhanced energy levels
  • Clearer mind & improved focus
  • More resilient skin
  • Improved digestion
  • Reduced bloating

Here’s What Our Customers Have To Say

You don’t have to simply trust our claims about the Full Body Cleanse. Our customers regularly experience amazing results and their testimonials are all over our site. Here are some of the most recent reviews that praise this product.

“I liked this product a lot. I wanted to use it for weight loss and it helped for that as well, but my main goal was to pass several stones and heal some fibroids. For myself, this product was excellent. I was able to save 15k during a delayed surgery because of COVID-19. I do feel 1,000 times better and would like to try it again to achieve better results as I did not eat optimal on the first go around. I would recommend this product for anyone needing to purge the body/system of unwanted sludge. I wish it came in extra strength. You all are doing so much good over there. Keep up the good works. I Thank Jesus for You. Stay Blessed.” – Michell

“The Full Body Cleanse (FBC) was definitely worth trying! I chose this cleanse to be healthier and to try a new way of eating. On the FBC, I was energetic, I was never hungry, I slept great and I could think clearer. In addition, I must say that the recipes are amazing! I tried foods that I never liked and surprisingly I now love them! Overall, I highly recommend the FBC if you are looking to fully rid your body of impurities and to regain your life back!” – Stefani

“I loved it! I felt a difference immediately when I started the supplements. I thought it would be hard with the strict diet but after losing 7 pounds the first 5 days, it made the diet that much easier! I also suffer from chronic migraines and I was getting them every week and it would last 3-4 days every time. I KID YOU NOT, I HAVE NOT HAD A MIGRAINE SINCE STARTING THE FULL BODY CLEANSE! If that’s not enough to reel you in then I don’t know what it is!” – Tierra

“A Life Changing Experience Rocky vs. Drago is what the Full Body Cleanse is like. Clearly Drago is our bodies and mind holding us back and fighting with us all the way as we attempt to reestablish our balance and alignment. The Full Body Cleanse is an ideal product that symbolizes the spirit of Rocky. I did the Cleanse to balance my body (my blood pressure went from 151/91 to 122/75) and to lose weight ( I lost 34 pounds). I very much doubted the positive impact that the cleanse would have on my life and thought it was like the Wizard of Oz. I was absolutely WRONG. The Full Body Cleanse is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone. After losing 34 pounds, I’m able to run again. As each day goes on and you see the benefits you will begin to defeat your own personal Drago (poor eating habits, lack of energy and drive) and begin to hear that Rocky Music playing in your life.” – Michael

“Dear Dherbs, I would like to thank you for your product which has changed my life. I’m 40 years old; I’m a stay home mom, I have 3 kids and no time for myself. I tried so many plans/diets but none of them ever worked for me. I started to have health problems because of my weight and lack of exercise. My doctor told me I needed to lose at least 30 pounds. My friend uses your products religiously and recommended the Cleanse. I was scared at first because I couldn’t imagine myself not eating desserts and other goodies. I started and how I was surprised… I didn’t feel any need to cheat the first ten days, second half was a little harder because I started to long for some sweets but I stayed strong telling myself, “You only have a few days left.” I also started to visit the gym 3 times a week because I suddenly had so much energy and felt so good inside and out. I lost 35 pounds and I’ve been able to keep it off for over a year. The second time I did the Full Body Cleanse I lost 15 pounds more. This is my third time ordering the Cleanse and I can’t wait! I’m loving life!!! Yours forever, Jane” – Jane

Most of us have the annual thought, typically around the New Year or spring, that we need to eat healthier foods. That can mean swapping your daily soda with lemon water or eating carrots and hummus instead of chips. The intention is there, but the follow through is not. The majority of Americans have become accustomed to a diet rich in processed foods, sweets, refined grains, fried foods, and saturated fats, all of which negatively affect your intentions to eat healthier foods.

It’s easy to read that and say, “Well, then it’s not my fault.” No, it is your fault if you make the decision to eat those foods, which have trained your taste buds to crave them. That being said, you can retrain your taste buds to crave healthier foods the same way you influenced your taste buds to crave unhealthy foods. According to several brain imaging studies, sugar and fat are addictive substances that are comparable to substances like morphine or heroin. Hyper-palatable foods establish a neuro-chemical addiction, meaning that you may be chemically dependent on the very foods that you are trying to eliminate from your diet.

Taste buds have an average lifespan of ten days, meaning that your body is constantly producing new ones throughout adulthood. If this is the case, then it is possible to retrain them to crave fewer refined foods and enjoy refreshing, nutrient-dense plant-based foods instead. When you eliminate dairy products, gluten, refined sugars, and other processed foods from your diet, you’ll notice that they taste different, perhaps sweeter or saltier, than they did before. Use the following tips to get started on developing taste buds that crave healthier foods.

To Start The Retraining Process

Eliminate Sweet & Salty Foods

In order to eliminate your dependence on these foods, you have to remove them from your diet. For optimal results, eliminate them from your diet for about two to three weeks to help you establish a new baseline for flavors. During this time, you should introduce umami, bitter, or sour flavors into your diet. These foods include mushrooms, miso, pickled or fermented foods, and leafy greens. This helps to condition your taste buds to crave those healthier foods, which possess similar salty and sweet flavors.

Practice Mindful Eating

Mindful eating is the practice of being present and in the moment when you sit down to eat a meal. Don’t watch TV or scroll through social media; rather, just be there with your food. You’ll find that this practice helps you enjoy wholesome foods and reduce stress. Eventually, you will be able to reintroduce certain salty or sweet foods to your diet. A few mindful bites of some chips or a piece of cake will satisfy your craving and you won’t need to indulge any further.

To Overcome Fat Cravings

When it comes to eliminating cravings for fatty foods, it’s all about the substitution game. If you like to bake, use organic unsweetened applesauce in place of butter, because they both add the same rich consistency. You really need to pay attention to the oils you use, though. Vegetable, soybean, corn, and safflower oils contain too many omega-6 fatty acids, whereas olive, avocado, and coconut oils are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Too many omega-6 fatty acids in the body can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Processed foods are also rich in safflower, soybean, or corn oils, so avoid them as well. Focus on omega-3s to avoid cravings for fatty foods.

To Overcome Salty Cravings

First thing’s first: get your butt in the kitchen and start cooking from scratch. A high percentage of people regularly eat out or purchase pre-made frozen meals, and these dishes are often packed with sodium or added flavors. When you cook at home, you are in control of how much salt you consume, and there won’t be added preservatives. Additionally, and we can’t stress this enough, eliminate deli meats and frozen meals from your diet because they worsen your salt addiction. Finally, try to find substitute seasonings for salt. Himalayan pink salt and sea salt are healthier options, but you can also use other spices and dulse flakes to avoid using salt.

To Overcome Sugar Cravings

When it comes to reducing sugar cravings, most people don’t look for the right foods to eliminate. They may stop consuming baked goods and processed foods, but some of the biggest sugar sources are soft drinks and alcohol. These greatly affect blood sugar levels, causing spikes and crashes that can make you crave sugary foods even when you aren’t hungry. Swap your cup of coffee with herbal tea, your soda with water, and try to avoid the sugary mixed alcoholic drinks. A glass of red wine here and there won’t be the worst thing for your health.

Ultimately, eating healthy is all about rhythm. Once you find your groove, you’ll be able to keep repeating your steps and advance to the next level. Set weekly goals to build confidence and you’ll be eating healthy foods without thinking about it in not time.
