You Are Stronger Than Your Cravings! One of the best things you can do to stay on track on The Sonoma Diet is remind yourself early and often that you are stronger than the cravings that threaten to derail you. No matter who you are (or even which diet you're on), there will be times when you struggle with temptation and cravings. And while you will ultimately feel better as a result of the changes you're making, sometimes, because your brain and body wonder what happened to the old days, a craving will kick in. Don't give in to it. Consider that craving a reminder of the positive changes you're making and you'll be more empowered to conquer it.

Dr. Guttersen's Tip of the Day
Chip Trick
A good short-term strategy to keep snacking under control is to meet your cravings halfway. Allow yourself a smaller, healthier version of the food you're craving. For example, here's a great snack to keep on hand for times when you crave potato chips. Cut a sweet potato into thin slices and brush with a little olive oil; then sprinkle with salt or your favorite herb and bake in a 375-degree oven until crisp. Store in an airtight container and grab a handful whenever the chip urge strikes.
