The Reset Diet, Cravings and Long Term Weight Loss
After years of eating a traditional Western diet filled with sugars, carbs and saturated fats, the Reset Diet aims to help dieters break these unhealthy eating habits, reset the metabolism and ultimately achieve long term weight loss.
The Reset Diet is a five-day diet that offers a kick start to a new lifestyle. Prepackaged bars and shakes are designed to balance blood sugar levels and reduce cravings for carbohydrates. Although we commend a 5-day commitment to anything, balancing blood sugar may need a bit more long term effort.
Control Snacks are a great alternative to this 5-day program: you can still eat your regular meals (healthy, please!) and have a Control snack in between to satisfy cravings.
A craving-controlling diet is a good way to break past habits and ease into healthier eating patterns and an overall healthy lifestyle. Eating foods with plenty of quality nutrients, especially those packed with antioxidants, eliminating junk foods in addition to working out, reducing stress and getting more sleep has been proven to help get the body running more efficiently and achieving a better, faster metabolism.
