I'm Sharon Richter, a Registered Dietitian.

You can do a lot in 10 minutes. Go for a walk. Drink a glass of water or sip hot tea. Return a phone call....and....You can stop one habit in its tracks....mindless eating!

Next time you're craving something sweet or salty -- take 10 minutes to press pause. Your craving may be less about hunger and more about stress, boredom, or simply being around junk food. Research shows that people can distract themselves long enough to wait out a diet-wrecking craving. What can you do in 10 minutes?

After some healthy distractions -- check if you ARE actually hungry. Then reach for high-energy choices like fruit or a handful of nuts. It's the right kind of pause to carry you over to your next well-balanced meal.
