better to work with it and gradu-
ally make changes. You have to
have some of those foods."
So-called "carbo cravers" should
replace sugary or fatty snacks
with foods that contain complex
carbohydrates and little fat, Ms.
Ausmus suggests. A low-fat
wheat bagel satisfies the carbo
craving and restores seratonin
levels.
Try replacing chocolate bars
with a lower-fat, lower-calorie
fudge bar, says Sara Lopinski, a
dietitian at St. John's Hospital.
"If you've got to have chocolate,
you have to have something
chocolate," she says. "At least sat-
isfy the craving without getting
off-track."
At the Springfield Diabetes and
Endocrine Center, the initial step
for patients is to increase physi-
cal activity, Ms. Yergler says.
Get off the couch; go take a
walk, she advises. Cravings are
stronger — and easier to satisfy
— when you're planted in front of
the TV, bombarded by fast-food
ads.
The center's weight-manage-
ment program includes a tech-
nique that Ms. Yergler calls
"environmental control." This
step's philosophical underpinning
is simple: Limit access to the foods
you crave.
In practice, however, "This is a
very complex task. What people
buy at the store is what they eat."
Chronic cravers sometimes buy
the very foods that are their down-
fall; they convince themselves that
they are buying the snacks for
their children or visitors.
"Quite often, those things don't
make it home from the grocery,"
Ms. Yergler says.
Counselor Faye Mini-Reyman
helps overeaters anticipate and
plan for situations in which they'll
be tempted to indulge in their
cravings.
If a craver's housemates want
to continue eating foods that the `-‘-\
craver must refrain from, then the
foods should be kept out of sight.
Don't make a bag of Cheetos the
first thing you see when you open
the cabinet. And in the freezer,
"put the ice cream in the back,"
Ms. Mini-Reyman says.
When shopping, come up with
a list and don't browse through
the store any more than is neces-
sary to buy what's on that list.
"Don't wander down certain
aisles. There's no reason to go
down the aisle with all the cook-
ies and sweets; walk past the bak-
ery," Ms. Mini-Reyman says.
"When you eat out, have a sense
of what you'll order before you sit
down. You don't have to read
through the whole menu."
Not all cravings are bad. Cer-
tain cravings could be the body's
way of saying that it needs a nu-
trient.
"Some people are very in tune
to their bodies," Ms. Ausmus
says. "Ask yourself, 'Am I hun-

? I
