Some confuse hunger with cravings. Cravings or “compulsion” is a feeling of “hunger” unrelated to the need for food. This form of food addiction or dependency occurs frequently during Phase 1 or 2 of the PrescriptFit MNT Plan.
Quickly consume 2-4 doses of PresciptFit amino acids in a single or multiple shakes, puddings, or soups. If the “hunger” does not resolve, it is most likely a craving or food addiction issue.
“Re-train” your brain by feeding yourself more doses of PrescriptFit every time a craving or feeling of hunger occurs. Your brain will quickly learn that every “craving” feeling is followed by another shake, pudding, or soup rather than the usual chocolate, pastry, or pasta. Soon your “hungry” brain will learn adapt and stop harassing you with cravings.
Move immediately to the next Phase, which will “trick” your brain into accepting a “reward” that is less than expected. Keep advancing to other Phases until the cravings subside. Then go back to an earlier Phase associated with more rapid weight loss and disease control, advancing forward again to the next Phases on schedule. Ask you doctor about medications used to treat addictive behavior.
Hunger – true hunger – is rarely experienced on the PrescriptFit MNT Plan. With proper doses, you get adequate protein and carbohydrate and additional branched chain amino acids to avoid behavior changes, including hunger. Those who first admit they have an addiction to food can begin to treat and overcome that addiction.
