6 steps to snap your junk food addiction

4. Learn to tolerate cravings.

There will be times when all the food substitutes and planning in the world can’t save you from a major junk food craving. But you can train yourself to tolerate these cravings.

Some people find that if they look at a food they crave, smell it and take a small taste of it, that’s enough to trick their mind into thinking they’ve had it. You can also try waiting out a craving. Cravings are usually only intense for a short while, like 10 minutes or so. If you can make it through those first 10 minutes without succumbing to your craving, chances are you’ll forget about it.
