Here are some tips to control pregnancy cravings:

  • Never postpone a meal for too long. Hunger triggers craving and often leads to overeating.
  • Take enough liquids throughout the day to keep yourself hydrated.
  • Eat at least six small meals throughout the day. Eating every two hours will keep your metabolism up and help you cut down on your cravings.
  • Snack on fruits and nuts in between meals to control hunger pangs.
  • Opt for natural sugars (fruits, dates, apricots) over chocolates and ice creams if you wish to have them.
  • Maintain a diet diary to keep track of your cravings and the foods you eat.
  • Pregnancy cravings usually occur due to a deficiency in diet. So make sure you eat foods from all the food groups to incorporate carbs, proteins, fats and other micro and macro nutrients in your diet.
