‘true hunger signals’

Reduce appetite, tips for controlling appetite

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

It’s summer, time of year when many of us start thinking about losing weight before having to put in shorts and sandals to enjoy the warm weather. But losing weight is not only a history of choosing healthy foods and do physical exercises (although you have already done much of the way), but also the need to reduce appetite, keep the appetite under control.

Tips to control appetite, prevent your hunger to win over your best intentions:

1) Eat consistently
Be sure to eat every 3 or 4 hours so that your blood sugar does not risk falling so low that you are a hungry and yield to a food orgy.

Skipping meals or not eating enough is a prescription for disaster. Many of us are so busy they do not have time to eat properly during the day (our busiest time). Late in the afternoon, we were so hungry that we tremble, become irritable and hungry. We find ourselves then find our hands in the cookie boxes or packages of chips, consuming more than we need to fill the tank of energy.

Creating this massive deficit in calories during the day obliges us to overconsume all evening. So remember that you must eat regularly and always before eating that you have too hungry, to reduce appetite.

2) Abandon appetizers
Change your thinking and look no longer automatically a piece of chocolate when you see one. Your thoughts affect what you do.

Train yourself to recognize true hunger signals: a growling stomach, fatigue stalking, a slight headache that settled, etc.. When you feel these signs, you can be sure that you really need to eat. If you eat less than 1 hour but you’re still hungry, do something to keep you busy for 10 minutes and see if you still hungry.
