I haven’t been feeling over Hungary lately as I have had better and healthier food and have word one portion sizes . I suggest working on your portion sizes and healthier foods .

I am using an app called noom. They talk a lot about this. They call it the inner elephant, and they say we are the rider of this elephant. The question is, who is in control? If you let the elephant get too hungry, he just goes hogwild and extremely over eats. If you can keep him happy, the driver can maintain control and make sure the elephant is getting the right food at the right amount. The key is to eat low caloric density foods, which fill you up with very few calories. I would recommend checking out noom as I have already lost 12 lbs in a month in a half and going strong. I feel like I am able to control my elephant, eat well, I never really be super hungry. It’s sustainable change because they use psychology to change your relationship with food. Nothing is off-limits.

Yes it is quite normal. Sometimes you just want to eat and that is just because of your metabolism that day meaning your body has burnt more that day so it need to be contemplated. Or it may be because of the harmons in your body . Talking about foods to avoid is high carb and high sugar diet . I just say no no every time when it comes to that because it not only is a reason for obesity but effects other organs of our body too. Hope this answer will help❤️

I think the best way to stay full is to have light snacks between every meal. Let’s say that your lunch was at 12:30, and Dinner is at 6. You’d want to have a light (yet healthy) snack around 3:30 to keep you satisfied until dinner. And perhaps it might make you want to eat even less. Your best bet for snacks would be a digestive cookie, a granola bar, some fruits (like a banana), or maybe even a handful of nuts if you’re not allergic.

When I want to avoid overeating I go through some some steps. I first ask myself if I’m actually hungry or just bored. If I’m just bored I will watch a TVs show or study or exercise. If I am hungry then I wonder if am I ready for a meal? Am I unsatisfied from a meal? Or am I just peckish? If I’m just peckish I drink 1 glass of water before getting my snack. If I’m ready for a meal I will just make one rather than snacking on foods that won’t help at all. And if I’m unsatisfied I make note of what not to do for a meal and have some a fruity dessert

In order to not overeat, I drink water so I can automatically start feeling full. If that doesn’t work, I’ll grab a small portion of something (healthy or not). Once I’m done with that, I’ll brush my teeth. Who wants to eat after they just brushed their teeth?

I eat my meal slowly when I don’t want to eat much, so i have my time enjoying my meal then i feel full and no need for more food 🙂

Yeah, I do feel hungry a lot. A reason might be your diet isn’t sufficient in some categories. In diet I mean whatever you eat. You might lack things like protein while having too many carbs, causing your body to make you eat more because you are missing a vital part of your diet. Hope this helped!

When I’m still hungry after eating a full meal, I usually snack with an apple or some walnuts. Also drinking a full glass of water 5 minutes before you eat can help a lot.

I downloaded the MyFitness app. It helps me keep track of my calories but when I feel really hungry I’ll have some celery or apple, it’s got less calories and it fills me up .
