Cravings and what they mean

If you crave carbohydrates, your serotonin levels may have dropped. Eggs, cheese and pineapple are good for raising them again.

If you crave sugar, you may be dehydrated. Drink some water or green tea.

If you crave red meat, you may be deficient in iron. Eat dried fruits like figs or prunes, or beans and legumes, or take iron tablets.

If you crave dairy, your blood sugar levels may be low. Eat foods naturally high in glucose, like oranges or strawberries to raise them.

If you crave chocolate, your magnesium levels may be low. Eat brown rice, whole grain bread or spinach to raise them.

If you crave salt, your blood pressure may be low. Eat salted nuts, whole wheat pretzels, or drink salted water to raise it. If that doesn’t work, you may be dehydrated. Drink water or green tea. 

If you crave bread, your nitrogen levels may be low. Eat turkey, black beans or brown rice to raise them. 

If you crave fried foods, you may be fatigued. Eat slow energy releasing foods like bananas or whole grain bread, or take a nap.

* I make sure to drink at least an equivalent volume of water as broth since it’s very high in sodium.

** My recipe is whatever vegetables I have in water with lemon juice, soy sauce, and hot sauce to taste. Even on a liquid fast I eat the vegetables for fiber. 40-60 per cup depending on the veggies you use.

*** Apple in water with lemon and cinnamon, simmer for about 10 minutes. I personally discard the Apple but you could also eat it (in which case it’s pretty much applesauce). 50-90 per serving.

Pumpkin & Coconut Soup - 214 kcal/4.4g protein

Servings: 1 cup - 214 kcal/4.4g protein

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 (3 pound) pumpkin (or butternut squash), peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes

3 small carrots, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground pepper, plus more for garnish

2 medium onions, coarsely chopped

4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped

¾ cup white wine

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk

Lightly toasted pepitas for garnish

Pumpkin seed oil for garnish

1.  Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add pumpkin (or squash), carrots, salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are almost softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Be careful not to let them brown. Add onions and garlic; cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 3 minutes. Add wine; cook, stirring, until it is almost completely reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Add broth and coconut milk; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer; cover and gently simmer until the vegetables are very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

2.  Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender (alternatively, use an immersion blender; use caution when blending hot liquids). Serve garnished with pumpkin seeds, pumpkin seed oil and/or freshly ground pepper, if desired.

Amazon Bean Soup with Winter Squash & Greens - 182 kcal/9.6g protein

Serving: 1 ½ cup - 182 kcal /9.6g protein

1 tablespoon butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 carrots, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

3 pounds buttercup squash, peeled and diced (about 6 cups)

1 plum tomato, chopped

¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

¼ teaspoon salt

⅛ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

2 15-ounce cans pinto or other brown beans, rinsed

10 ounces spinach, stemmed and coarsely chopped

1 lime, cut into wedges

1.  Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add garlic, carrots and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add broth and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add squash, tomato, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the squash is very soft and almost breaking apart, about 20 minutes.

2.  Transfer 3 cups of the soup to a blender and puree until smooth. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.) Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in beans and spinach and cook over medium heat until the beans are heated through and the spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Serve with lime wedges.

TIP:  To make squash bowls: Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice about an inch off the top of each buttercup squash. Scoop out seeds and loose flesh. Pour ½ inch water into a glass baking dish (or two) large enough to hold the squash. Place squash cut-side down in the water. Bake until the flesh is tender when gently poked with a knife and the squash still holds its shape, about 30 minutes.

OMG I made something and it’s amazing and it’s low in cals and super tasty ✨

Simple buy 0% Greek yoghurt (only 47 cals per 100 grams) and put it in a scale with your favorite fruit. Make shure you put baking paper on the bottom against sticking. Put it in the freezer until it gets hard (about 3 hours). Break it into parts and there you have it, a healthy, ice cream alike snack when you are craving something sweet 🥰

34 calorie apple pie pancake recipe

HELLO Y'ALL, since my low cal pizza recipe was a success i decided to post another one of my go-to recipes!

Disclaimer: i do not encourage eating disorders, i am not a nutritionist whatsoever, but i have studied nutrition for five years so i’ll give you some tips to curb cravings without guilt

Another disclaimer: i did not steal this recipe, i was fucking around in the kitchen one day and found this gem and after a while i decided to post it here :)

ok so first of all you’ll need

1 tbsp of sweetener (0 cal)

2 tbsp of flour (52 cal)

2 tbsp of oats (76 cal)

1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar (5 cal)

0.3 tsp of cinnamon (3 cal)

0.3 tsp of ginger (3 cal)

5 tbsp water (0 cal)

After mixing all dry ingredients add the wet ones (i usually eyeball this part but by measuring it should be around 5/6 tbsp of water and depending on how strong is the apple taste of your vinegar you may want to change the measurements a bit)

it should have this consistency

then cook them like normal pancakes, by flipping them when u see bubbles on the surface

if you don’t use oil don’t forget to use a non-stick pan or else you’ll just have a giant delicious mess

and voila! as you can see, they’re super easy to make and totally guilt-free!

the whole batch is just 137 cal, so one pancake is just 34 calories!

now, for the useful tips:

oats have a little bit more calories but since they have a lot of fiber they’ll make you feel full for longer

when you restrict a lot your insulin levels are all fucked up, so please, if you have 50 spare calories, swap the sweetener for real sugar, it will give you a bit of energy and curb the sugar craving while still being rly low cal overall

binges happen bc you lose control over ur cravings, so to take the power away from food try incorporating everyday some foods that you usually crave (e.g. since i often crave sweet stuff and pizza i eat these pancakes and my low cal pizza basically everyday), since i started doing this i haven’t basically binged!! (and i’m bulimic so… yeah that says a lot)

LOW CAL PASTA (360cal) AND RICE (265cal) RECIPEEE (vegan🍃)

(3-5 servings. Depends how much you put on tha plate. The calorie amount is for THE WHOOOLE BATCH!!! NOT PER SERVING!!)

(Just a pic to show you what it looks like. You will have a whole pan full of food.)

It’s really good tasting and warm and nice and full of nutrients and just really really good would recommend would make it again lesgo.

(So I’m gonna put the amount of ingredients you’ll need for ONE of these dishes below. You can leave things out or play around with stuff this recipe is just to inspire you)

THE INGREDIENTS:

100gr of chopped union (37 cal)

225gr frozen peas and carrots 50/50 (94 cal) , (or you can buy the peas and carrots separately frozen/not frozen totally up to you same amount of cal)

30gr of chickpeas (22cal)

200gr of can of chopped tomatoes (66 cal)

18gr of a carton of tomato puree (17cal)

Spices (I used salt, pepper, kurkuma and cayenne pepper)

FOR THE RICE:

- 2 packages of ZERO RICE = 400gr (14 cal per package, total 28 cal)

FOR THE PASTA:

- 2 packages of ZERO PASTA = 400gr (18 cal per package, total 28 cal)

- 200gr pasta sauce (86 cal. This may vary depending on what pasta sauce you buy. I added this bc it gives it the real pasta flavor)

I bought the ZERO PASTA & RICE at my local Action store here in the Netherlands. If you can’t find them use another low cal pasta or rice alternative.

PREPARATION:

Cut up the onions and carrots into small pieces. Fry them in a non-stick pan while you boil those peas the way the packaging tells you to.

When the peas are done and the carrots and unions are nicely fried put the peas and chickpeas into the frying pan and mix everything up nicely.

Put the tomato cubes and tomato paste into the frying pan and mix.

Season it! :D

(If the mixture is a bit too thicc you can add some water to make it more saucey.)

Now, if you’re going for the rice make sure you read the preparation method on the package and just put them in the frying pan together with the other ingredients. Mix it up and let it simmer a little while.You’re done. Enjoy your meal(s)!!!

If you’re going for the pasta, again follow the preparation method on the packaging and put them in some boiling water for 5 minutes to soften them up a bit. When it’s done drain the water out and put your pasta into the frying pan with the pasta sauce and mix it up well. Heat it up and you’re done enjoy your meal(s)!!!

With you meal you could also add:

egg (75 cal)

chicken filet (120 cal for 100gr raw/cooked chicken filet)
