Choosing a healthy substitute is a good way of dealing with unhealthy cravings. Cravings for food are strong desires to consume a particular food. Craving for food is common when one is on a particular diet. One of the remedies for craving is to eat a healthy substitute.
I have craved for noodles( which by way is forbidden according to my diet) for about 2 days now. Noodles are usually on the black book of health benefits. Researches have constantly warned instant noodles consumers of the high risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, e.t.c as a result of the high sodium intake with the consumption of instant noodles. Moreover, instant noodles are low in nutrient therefore shouldn't be consumed frequently.
I therefore decided to deal with the craving with a healthier substitute, Cucumber noodles. I decided to prepare cucumber noodles(mixed with mayonnaise) with egg sauce.
Cucumbers are healthy vegetables that contain multiple vitamin B, vitamin C and K, magnesium, potassium, silicon, fibre and many more.
On the other hand, the eggs contains protein, zinc, copper, iron, vitamin D , multiple vitamin B and lots more.
Alas, I have succeeded in quenching my crave for instant noodles and at same time, I didn't eat outside my diet plan.
