What the Stop Watch Method Isn't


This method is not a get thin quick scheme. Instead, it requires you to think differently and adapt your lifestyle accordingly. Once you get into the habit of pausing and thinking about what you plan to do when you get hungry or have cravings, you can then move forward in a more positive and healthy way.
It's not so much the fact that you begin drinking more water or eating healthier foods as it is the fact that you're gaining discipline. Self control is the key to kicking addictions and the key to accomplishing goals.
When a craving hits, try to remember that it should pass. Remember as mentioned before, that a typical craving only lasts about eight to fourteen minutes. If you can get through that time frame, odds are you will not be hungry when it's over. Just because you feel hungry at one point does not mean you have to stuff your face with Oreos or chips.
In time, the craving will subside and you will forget all about it. If you don't want to snack when the cravings hit, try chewing a piece of sugar free gum or eat a breath mint.
