Re: on a diet am im craving chickenn chips!

don't fight it- give in! those are two healthy foods if prepared properly-- make some lovely baked chicken perhaps and eat it with a baked potato with some "salsa" (chopped up tomatoes, a finely chopped green chili, squeeze of lemon) and fat-free sour cream. mmm... good stuff!

Re: on a diet am im craving chickenn chips!

^ Listen, if you going to give in to it, GIVE IN TO IT PROPERLY! Go to the nearest takeaway, order a large chicken and chips straighaway, TUCK IN!

SGC, shes craving KFC :)

Nadz go for a 30 minute brisk walk first and then go have your KFC. You will balance out whatever you eat.

Re: on a diet am im craving chickenn chips!

^ I have suuuuuuuch a bad craving for a KFC bucket but I've been tryin to stick just to halal. It is torture!!!!

Re: on a diet am im craving chickenn chips!

ugh im craving it too today :smack:

Nadz, are you telling me that you're diet entails avoiding chicken at all costs? That's crazy. Please don't avoid protein....they are the building blocks of your body and important for your skin and hair.

Chicken is a good form of lean protein. It's all about moderation and technique of cooking. Instead of downing a grease soaked crispy fried chicken drumstick, why not opt for baked or grilled chicken which are both healthier cooking methods. You can soak a chicken breast in the marinade of your choice and then bake it.

You can even include diced up/shredded chicken in your salad. Other forms of healthy protein include fish, eggs, nuts.

****And please don't skip carbs completely. Avoid the bad carbs also known as the complex carbs (cookies, chocolate, chips, etc) and instead opt for simple carbs that keep you feeling full for longer, are more nutritious, low in calories, and assist in weight loss such as (apples, sweet potatoes, various fruits and veggies).

*********It has been found that people often confuse the brain's signal for thirst with hunger. So, drinking plenty of water and prevent hunger pangs.

*****Here's a tip: When you feel a craving, go brush your teeth. It has been found that toothpaste can help to nip cravings in the bud.

***** Another tip: Exercise. It can help reduce food cravings.

Thumbs up for your efforts!

Umm if im not mistaken she wants that fried chicken, and chips.. a baked/boiled chicken wont hit the spot!

Re: on a diet am im craving chickenn chips!

aint u given in to ur craving yet?? i wudda done lol.. just wuda worked it off on a treadmill or sumthing!

In her thread, she didn't mention specifically what kind of chicken. Since she said she's on a diet, i suggested healthier poultry options.

Baked chicken that has marinaded in yogurt and spices......and oven-baked fries is a healthier option.

Re: on a diet am im craving chickenn chips!

this is what happens when one goes on a crash diet. you end up wanting to binge eat. eat what you crave but do so moderately.

go ahead eat that chicken n chips...but dont over do it!!

Re: on a diet am im craving chickenn chips!

I’m sure she’s eaten it by now… and then some :hmmm:
