This is the third installment of the back to basics series  in October. You’re probably thinking October 1 marks the beginning of the holiday season and you wouldn’t be alone. You might also be thinking well I didn’t lose weight again this year, I guess I'll just wait till the new year. But it doesn't have to be that way. The Back to Basics series will teach you the fundamentals of losing weight anytime and anywhere, regardless of what season it is. The third basic is Cravings and What To Do With Them! Managing cravings is an ongoing process within our brains and bodies. Having a craving for something is not a sign that something has gone wrong, or that you can’t “stick to” something. It’s absolutely normal and natural for your brain to remember something that you’ve eaten in the past and bring it up to the forefront and propose that idea as a solution to the current emotion you are having. Your brain is very efficient at doing this–searching in the past for a solution and then offering it up, regardless of your current way of eating. You don’t actually have to obey every craving or worry that they are still coming. Follow my allowing process that you’ll hear in this episode and you’ll be well on your way to knowing what to do when your lower brain offers up the next thing it thinks you should eat! NEW!
