Here’s how to kill off unhealthy cravings whenever they hit…

Problem – afternoon slump.
It’s normal to feel a bit sleepy around 2-4pm because this is the time we get a natural dip in our 24-hour biological clock. But the problem is that the sleepiness can lead to sugar cravings, because we are unconsciously looking to lift our energy levels.

Solution – low-carb lunch.
Eating a lunch that’s not too carb heavy can minimise the post-lunch dip. You can also beat an afternoon sugar craving with a handful of nuts or seeds rich in good fat and contain a chemical that stimulates the release of an appetite-suppressing hormone.
