The mindful way to distract you from your cravings - Dr Anne Hsu featured in CNN

The desire for a particular food item can be powerful and has the ability to fully consume someone's thoughts until satisfied. But just as easily as the mind gets you into these situations, it can get you out – reports CNN. "One of the main reasons people overeat is due to food cravings," says Dr Anne Hsu. "It doesn't work to just tell people not to eat something," she says. "All behaviours come from underlying desires and changing the root cause of that behaviour could have more affect."
