How to stop cravings after the gym?

[Anonymous]

After the gym or before the gym I have such huge cravings of food! I know certain craving mean less water or protein or w. e but how do I lessen these cravings!

You have cravings after the gym because you haven't eaten enough. Remember that every single cell in your body runs on glucose, and when you work out and convert that glucose into energy, you're body needs to replenish itself. Having cravings is your body's way of telling you to eat. You should never feel like you have to restrict yourself from fruits and vegetables. You can eat plants in abundance.

Oh and also, try eating at least 30 mins before your workout. Something light like yogurt or banana. A common mistake people make is working out on an empty stomach, that will make you hungry and crave after your workouts.

My guess is your diet is off and you aren't getting enough fiber and protein to keep you going and feeling full. Drinking a lot of water will also be super beneficial to your body and help you feel full. It is a mental battle - if you know you've had plenty to eat but feel hungry, then don't eat. It'll get easier when your body gets used to it.

Eat veggies?
They are very low on calories , they have a high bulk (they take up a lot of space in your stomach so you feel full) and is absolutely JAM PACK full of antioxidants.

Try some quinoa or kidney beans or maybe hummus.
High on fiber , high on protein.
GOOD after workout nutrient injection. JUST what your body needs after a hard day at the gym.
