Answer 1

make sure you are always sufficiently rehydrated.
Many people misread signs of dehydration for hunger.

Get away from the 3-meals-a-day. Grazing is the way. Eat at least 5 times a day. Breakfast, mid-morning snacl, Lunch, afternoon snack, dinner.

Regular nutrition stops your body from going into distress (famine mode) and slow the metabolism.

Exercise!!

Answer 2

Fiber helps to make you feel full and protein takes longer to digest. It would help if you had two of these type things on your plate at meal time.

Drink water with your meals if you can’t stand just having water all the time flavor it with Crystal Light and drink fewer sodas even if they are diet drinks. Sodas are not full filling like water is.

We all get a candy bar craving problem. I have encounter that problem by instead of buying candy bars to have a Luna bar, Pria, or Triple Threat. I can eat one of these bars at snack time and feel satisfied.

I eat about 6 times a day 3 small meals, 3 snacks, around 3-4 hrs apart.

I keep only fruits, nuts, yogurt, South Beach bars or Pria bars around the house for snack time.

Take a walk or go to the gym drink plenty of water even sometimes this helps chase away the hunger.

Well the stomach makes you crave. And dependant on how much you eat, if you diet changes from big to small so will your cravings. The good news is, your stomach naturally grows smaller in the case if you are eating less and so your appetite becomes suppressed. But the difficulty is where the stomach initially is (how big it is) and when it relaxes into it new size, dependant on your diet. During this time, anything with low calories (vegetables (steamed or raw) will suppress hunger. Fluids is another (Water). The human body has the ability to adapt to the change in diet. But you must have the will power and patience to let the body adapt. Once its adapted you will have no problems.

You will have hunger pangs for about two weeks whenever you start eating less, and they will only go away when your stomach physically shrinks. I know it will be really hard at first, but water really helps once you start drinking 8 12-oz glasses on a regular basis, because hunger can be a sign of mild dehydration. Plus, eat 5 small snack-size meals instead of 3 big ones. Also, make sure these small meals fall during times when your blood sugar or energy can plummet (especially mid-morning and ESPECIALLY late afternoon, around 3:00 or 4:00). Try to stay busy and make sure that every piece of food that goes into your body is a healthy one, no matter how boring it is. That way, you will stop craving food that's bad for you, and you will start "eating to live" so to speak, not eating because it's good or for entertainment. What is good about that, is after a few weeks you'll start feeling great, you'll actually develop a hunger for these healtier foods, and junk food isn't as appealing. Some of these small-meal foods that I like are lean cold cuts (ham, turkey), those baby carrot sticks, celery, rice protein shakes, a handful of almonds per day (it's really good for you), dark leafy salads, lowfat chicken salad or tuna salad, eggwhite omlettes, grapes, and seamed clams or shrimp. Plus, if you eat a salad, make sure it's not iceburg lettuce, and add grilled chicken to it so you get protein. When you eat meat, make sure it is lean, and try to limit pastas, potatoes, bread, and other starches because they give you energy for a little while and then make you feel like you're starving. If you eat pasta, it's okay, but pair it with protein like grilled chicken so your body metabolizes it. These foods might seem like torture now, but eat this way for 3 weeks and drink lots of water, and you'll notice a huge difference in how you feel and what you crave. As for fast food or a junk food splurge, limit yourself to one fast food meal every other week.

Answer 5

Water is your first weapon when curbing unecessary hunger pangs - often when you feel hungry you are actually thirsty.

Secondly, when you eat a meal, always include some low fat protein and eat that first - protein sends a message to your brain that you are full way before carbs do so you'll feel full up and satisfied rather than able to keep on eating when you've had enough.

Sorry Chrissssy you got it the wrong way round - it's protein that makes you feel full not carbs!

Answer 6

Adhere to a far more slender protein/green plant eating plan

Answer 7

put less food out there and you may carry much less with

Answer 8

Stroll regular 25 mins each day

Answer 9

I heard that carbs are the things that trigger the 'full' feeling. Why not eat some fruit 10 minutes before a meal. Also, eat slowly, chew properly and put your knife and fork down between mouthfulls. Trust me, this is sound advice.

Answer 10

Physical exercise in the morning in comparison with night time
