HUNGER FREE WEIGHT LOSS
1. Take a look at your overall intake. Often people who skip breakfast, or don’t plan snacks get very hungry throughout the day.
2. Avoid Processed Foods -- Refined carbohydrates especially (i.e. cookies, crackers, many low-fiber breakfast cereals, etc.) can make blood sugar go up and down rapidly, leaving us hungry.
3. Protein Portions -- Nutrition scientists now understand that it is the presence of protein at each meal and snack that has the strongest impact on satiety (feeling full). Make sure you add a small portion of protein (nuts, hard boiled egg, string cheese, peanut butter, slice of turkey or tofu, etc.) to each of your meals and snacks.
4. Fiber – Fruits, vegetables, and unrefined grains are high in fiber and they have lots of staying power.
5. Avoid fad diets – Cycles of deprivation followed by overindulgence can create a disconnection from our biological perception of hunger. Following a nutritious, well-balanced diet over time can contribute long term to healthier hunger management.
