EU SO QUERO CHOCOLATE...


E AÍ, A CONSCIÊNCIA JÁ PESOU? PASSOU DOS LIMITES GERAL COM OS PRESENTES DO COELHINHO NESTA PÁSCOA???

Pois saibam que achei umas dicas engraçadas em um site gringo para a gente se livrar do chocolate.... São um pouco óbvias e um pouco idiotas... mas nessa hora de desentoxicação, toda dica para ficar longe das delíciosas tentações chocolatais, é válida!


8 DICAS PARA DIMINUIR A INGESTÃO DE CHOCOLATE
1 -Go for a walk.As soon as you're out of the door, you're away from the chocolate. After a brisk half-hour walk, you'll be energized and ready to resist the sweet stuff.
Eat "anti-chocolate".Some foods just aren't compatible with chocolate. Eat a pickled onion. Suck an aniseed ball. They both have such strong, distinct, tastes that you won't want chocolate afterwards.
2-Do something with your hands.Try some form of craft (cross stitching and paper crafts work for me). Or play a video game, write a letter or email... anything to distract you, and which keeps your hands occupied.
3-Bin it.This is a powerful message to yourself, especially if, like me, you're of the waste-not-want-not school: throw the chocolate in the trash. Is it really more wasted there than it would be as extra pounds of fat on you?
4-Clean your teeth or chew gum. For me, brushing my teeth is a psychological cue that I'm not going to eat anything else. Gum will stop you eating while you're chewing it: this also helps if you're prone to picking at food when cooking.
5- Put it somewhere inaccessible.Stand on a chair, and shove the chocolates right in the back of a high cupboard. It'll require much more effort to get them out again - enough to make you think twice.
6-Have something small. Sometimes, a taste of chocolate can help take away the urge to scoff a whole family-sized bar.
7- Try one of the following (all take a little while to consume, which also helps).
Mug of light hot chocolate
Low-fat chocolate mousse
Chocolate flavored popcorn
8-Set a time limit. If you still want chocolate in an hour, you can have some. Most cravings don't last more than 20-30 minutes: chances are, you'll have forgotten about the chocolate once the time's up.
What do you do when you "must" have chocolate? Do you have any good tips on coping with cravings? Or are you one of those lucky people who "doesn't have much of a sweet tooth"?
