Ways to Combat Cravings

It’s that time of day when you have one of those sugary cravings and you go and hit the cupboard full of sweets and chocolate. Why not try and go for a 15 minute walk which can help to diminish the cravings of chocolate. A study by Taylor AH and Oliver AJ (2008) from the University of Exeter investigated, 25 regular chocolate consumers who were asked to abstain eating chocolate for three days. Then they were assigned to a 15 minute walk or rest. The results concluded that those who completed a 15 minute walk reported lower cravings than those who rested. Cravings were also reduced for at least ten minutes after the 15 minute walk.

If walking does not suit you! Why not try some household chores like vaccuming, ironing or washing, which is great exercise. Or simply exercise to an fitness video which may help to combat those cravings.

Hello,

My name is Emily and I am a nutritional therapist, personal trainer and sports massage therapist. I will be adding lots of interesting information about nutrition, fitness and health. So, watch this space.

Bye for now!

“As a professional footballer, diet and nutrition are very important parts of my life.

It is important to have a balanced diet throughout the season and to know what types of food to eat prior to training and games and also for recovery. In addition to a good balanced diet, it is also important to top up your natural supply of vitamins and minerals.

I met Emily three years ago and since then, we have worked together to develop an ever changing diet and nutritional plan. The aim of the plan has been to keep body fat low but to reach and maintain optimum energy levels.

Emily has introduced me to some very effective natural remedies, such as magnesium supplements, specifically for joints, which forms an important part of recovery and preparation.

Emily has been on hand via email and telephone ever since meeting her and I am very grateful for her help during the run up to the FIFA World Cup 2010, in which I played for New Zealand. After a long domestic season in the English Championship league, I was grateful for her advice as to how best to restore and replenish in time for the competition.

Thank you Emily for all your hard work!”

“Emily is no ordinary personal trainer. She is a personal trainer who genuinely cares and is concerned about your physical health and well being and will do everything possible to help you achieve your goals. With Emily’s support, guidance and nutritional expertise I was able to achieve my goal of losing 3 stone in 6 months and now have a much healthier lifestyle.”

“I came across Emily’s leaflet by pure chance and it was the best gift I got myself. I developed not only physically, but gained confidence, strength and determination. Emily is focused, motivating and encouraging. I throughly enjoyed the hard, challenging, weekly sessions. Not only did it consist of CV training but resistance training. Emily, also looked at my diet providing me with ideas on recipes and foods to help with energy and give my body the nutrients it was craving. I feel full of energy and very determined and focused. Working with Emily has given me self belief and motivation. Especially in achieving my own goals.

Emily is a truly, amazing person who gives support, advice and personal training by not only looks at your physical well being but at you as a person holistically. Emily has a good sound based knowledge and is positive making the sessions fun and enjoyable. I have grown as an individual and used Emily’s knowledge and advice to put me on the right road.”

“I first met Emily in 2009. She helped me back to fitness after a longer period of illness. Emily is very flexible and accommodating adapting the exercise sessions to both indoor and out, varying physical ability as well as fitting around a busy schedule.

She is always very reliable, motivating and good company!”

“A family member recommended Emily to me when I was desperate for advice with regards to eating healthily to control the symptoms of IBS. Emily straight away put me at ease with her non judgemental approach. She gives common sense advice and recommended a new way of eating. I can honestly say that it has helped me control the symptoms of IBS and I feel so much better another bonus is that it has helped me to lose weight. Emily regularly keeps in contact and is so encouraging. She is a warm and friendly person that has a wealth of knowledge on diet and fitness.”

“Having being given the great news that I am in remission after cancer I knew that I needed to restart my exercise routine. However, I also knew that after 2 years of being unable to exercise due to my illness that I needed someone that could help me along the way that would be motivational, encouraging & would progress my fitness regime at a pace suitable for me & my situation.

I researched many personal trainers but found that Emily’s enthusiasm, genuine willingness to help & her experience was the combination that was for me. I am absolutely delighted with the program that she has designed for me, which is stretching but achievable. I feel I am increasing my fitness level week on week with Emily by my side.”
