Eating patterns that are too restrictive may actually work the opposite way, opening the gates to cravings wide open. We simply seem to crave what we can’t have.

Instead of helping us resist and forever refrain from eating our crave foods, our inner rebel sticks its greedy head out in search of what we’re taking away. The mouth doesn’t wanna miss out on the goodies either. The tongue and tastebuds love all sorts of flavors and textures. Don’t fall into the deprivation trap!
