Even though you may not be pregnant this go around, monitor your cravings just the same. When they happen, think about what you have eaten and how maybe cravings could be avoided or even just lessened. Some cravings are directly influenced by what we have or have not eaten. The forum will be good for talking out such discoveries! Susan Levin, MS, RD PCRM Director of Nutrition Education

I also had alot of pregnancy weight gain due to me giving in to my cravings. Last time I lost 10 pounds that I was able to keep off since then. I'm hoping to lose at least 10 more this time and reinforce those healthy habits I formed last time. My baby is now 15 months so its time to get rid of this excess weight Right now my biggest craving is going to be for coffee creamer but I'm using the so delicious original coconut creamer to beat that craving!

Posted Tuesday, September 4, 2012 at 9:24 AM Cravings often tell us about something going on inside, so pay attention and find alternate ways to address them. Sugar cravings can often be defeated by a good crunchy dill pickle (go figure :wink Chocolate cravings can be battled with a plate of vegan nachos (use a not-cheese sauce, black beans, lower fat and sodium chips, some good salsa). If we try to ignore them, we might be missing a cue that our body is needing something. But, just because we're craving cupcakes, doesn't mean we have to eat cupcakes - parse out what it is about that thing that attracts you (and it may very well differ each time). Then find alt ways to address the underlying need. --Deb R
