Top Sante Article - Counteract Cravings

Free EFT Chart together with some tips

In order to counteract cravings it is useful to understand what is going on at a subconscious level.

One of the main reasons that cravings occur on a regular basis is because over a period of time we establish a belief within ourselves that certain foods can act as a comfort against situations that cause anxiety, anger or boredom. A craving that is experienced on a regular basis is actually an addiction.

From early childhood we learnt that if we threw a tantrum (especially in a supermarket) that our mothers, for the sake of peace and embarrassment, would buy, give or promise us a small treat such as a sweet, a lollypop, a biscuit or some other kind of pacifier if we were good.

At home we were given one of the above and more often than not, sent to watch TV. And so the ‘programming’ began. The child within us grew into an adult with the belief that certain foods gave a certain amount of comfort or distraction.

The points shown in red in the above picture are known as acupoints, in other words acupressure points that are very close to the surface of the skin.

When a person is experiencing a craving, then by very gently tapping on these points starting at number one (top of the head) and working down to number seven on the collarbone the craving will ease. Ideally you should stay tapping until the craving has completely gone.

It is quite common for an emotion of some sort (a level of anxiety, anger, sadness, guilt, or shame) to easily trigger a craving in order to give some comfort or distraction from the emotion that is being felt. Equally a craving could simply be a habit that has been formed by a person through eating a specific food around the same time every day.

Be patient and tap gently whilst saying to yourself ‘I accept this craving.’ By accepting the craving you are acknowledging that you have it and therefore you do not create a conflict within which would be something like: I want it –I don’t want it.

Using either hand, take your index and middle finger and tap for a few seconds on each point breathing in and exhaling before moving on to the next point.

Remember: every time you tap for a craving, providing you reduce it to nil, you are re-programming yourself to not needing that particular food at a particular time or for a particular reason.

I am holding a Special One Day Workshop in Central London for all those interested in changing their relationship with food without dieting. One of the reasons why some people are larger than others is simply that they eat more than their bodies need. The workshop will focus on changing that at cellular level. It will not be about what you eat - it will be about how much!  The whole emphasis will be about reducing the desire (without willpower) to eat when you are not hungry. I have been running a trial study in Wiltshire with a small group of ladies who have all lost weight without any effort. With this protocol you will no longer find yourself worrying about what diet foods you need to buy! The numbers will be limited to a maximum of  50 attendees. The cost will be £90 per person and will include a full DVD training set (13 DVDs) showing you how you can incorporate EFT into your lifestyle in many different areas.  Please use the email address below with ‘Lose weight without dieting’ in the subject box to find out whether there are places. Please note: Your email address will not be offered to anyone.  We run a strictly confidential policy. mary@emotionalrepair.com If you would prefer to book online to secure your place please click here.

EFT DVD TRAINING SETS If a workshop is not for you but you would like to ‘self-teach’ how to use the technique, then the EFT courses on DVD may be of interest. They come directly from America, (takes approx. 7 working days – the ordering system is secure and very efficient in terms of orders go out the same day. They can be used in any DVD player (inc. computers). The two that I recommend are first one: The EFT Course and the other one is The Palace of Possibilities.  There are great discounts for ordering more than one set. The cost for just one is $60 which currently converts to approx. £30. Ordering both sets qualifies for a 35% discount!
