  1. Hey Dr.’s!

    How about doing a Key to Success about Cravings. What to do when they happen especially when those of us who do try and stay on our diets as much as possible, what substitutes would you recommend,are there certain brain exercises that we could do to help prevent or help them? Would other exercises help when cravings come on suddenly? Any suggestions on this would be very helpful.

    Take care!
