To manage cravings during a diet, consider strategies like mindful eating, staying hydrated, and incorporating fiber and protein-rich foods into meals. Planning meals in advance can also help prevent impulsive eating. Engaging in distraction techniques, such as hobbies or physical activities, can divert attention from cravings. Keeping healthy snacks on hand may satisfy hunger without derailing dietary goals. Lastly, recognizing and understanding triggers for cravings can lead to better management over time.
