10 healthy ways to curb winter cravings
Hindustan Times Noida
|December 01, 2025
Want to eat everything in sight this season? Here's how to calm those cravings
We all crave warm, comforting foods in winter. But cravings don't always mean hunger; sometimes they're just our body seeking warmth or comfort. With metabolism naturally slowing during colder months, it's easy to reach for deep-fried treats. Choosing healthier options lets you enjoy the season without compromising nourishment.
How can you reduce cravings naturally? Lifestyle coach Nidhi Nahata shares simple, healthy swaps to help you satisfy cravings without guilt.
START WITH A SMOOTHIE, NOT COFFEE
Morning hunger often stems from dehydration. Instead of coffee, begin your day with a smoothie made using almond milk, ripe banana, fresh spinach and a spoon of flaxseed. "This keeps you full for hours, boosts energy and stabilises blood sugar levels," says Nahata. If cold smoothies don't suit you, use lukewarm oat milk for a gentler, winter-friendly base.
ROAST, DON'T DEEP FRY
