This procedure will put you in control of your craving and, with persistance, will eventually eliminate the craving altogether. The faster that you can get to the emotional cause behind the craving, the faster you will completely eliminate the behaviour.

The best time to do this tapping is right when you have the craving so you may want to print this out and keep it handy.

Have what you crave right in front of you so that you are really tuned into it. On a scale from 0-10, where 10 is “must have now!” and 0 is “don’t want it”, rate you level of craving. Write this down. Now work through the EFT tapping points as follows:

Now re-evaluate you level of craving. Has it reduced, changed in some way, or even increased? You may need to do a few more rounds to completely reduce the craving but remember that you need to be persistent.

An additional factor in food cravings is whether you are eating the right balance of protein and carbohydrates. If, after eating a meal, you crave something sweet then the ratio of carbohydrates was too high compared to protein. Note that vegetables are included in the carbohydrate macro food group. For more information about getting the right balance see The Metabolic Typing Diet.Related Posts:

I was riding in a car with my 14 year old nephew who was complaining of a headache, tunnel vision and lights in front of his eyes. The driver, a trained nurse, explained that this was a type of migraine that could be caused by chocolate (of which my nephew had indulged earlier) and specifically the amines in chocolate. Amines are organic compounds naturally occurring in many food stuffs. You may be familiar with amino acids which are related.

I decided to have my nephew tap on the headache. We started on the karate chop point with:“Even though I have this headache from eating too much chocolate, I’m a good kid”. We then proceeded to the other tapping points.

We had not even got down to the chin point before my nephew exclaimed “My eyesight’s back!” He said the tunnel vision was gone, he now had full use of his peripheral vision, and the lights in front of eyes were also gone. Needless to say, the nurse who was driving was very surprised.Related Posts:
