Learn the 3 Simple Secrets to successful and lasting weight loss. We guarantee that you will Question: love the results! How can I prevent the cravings that sabotage my health and weight loss goals?

Answer: Cravings are our body’s way of talking to us. When we eat foods that are defi cient in nutrients, such as fast, processed, refi ned, microwave or fried foods, our bodies do not have the materials, aka “nutrients”, they need to build cells correctly and run optimally. Therefore, our bodies, being as smart as they are, send out a “craving” to get us to eat more food! The key is to provide our bodies with whole foods that are nutrient dense, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, emphasizing low-glycemic carbohydrates, essential fats and lean proteins in the right ratios. Eating the correct balance of fats, proteins and carbohydrates is what we at U Weight Loss call eating in “hormonal balance”. This reduces cravings, fuels our bodies for optimal vitality and energy, helps prevent disease and makes weight loss safe and easy! Optimal health is the most important thing at U Weight Loss and can only be achieved through BALANCE - this is what we teach our clients at the clinics!
