How should i stop eating.Im gaining weight like hell!!please help me?

Answer 1

if you want to stop eating, first you should find out why, maybe it is emotional eating.

Here are six ways you can loosen the stranglehold a food addiction may have on you.

1. Smaller plates = smaller portions.
Food addicts often overeat because the signals that traditionally tell the body to stop eating don't sound off. But according to Mark Gold, MD, chief of addiction medicine at the University of Florida College of Medicine, you can actually retrain your brain to feel full on less food. Begin by using smaller plates and bowls, which will force you to dish out smaller portions.

Over time (it may take a few weeks), your brain will begin to get used to the reduced portion sizes and you'll feel less compelled to keep eating. Once you've mastered that, try reducing your portions even further by leaving a little space on your plate; again, your brain will slowly but surely adapt.

2. Lower the "sweet" volume.
If sugar is your weakness, start by removing it from areas of your diet where you're less likely to notice. Target sauces, dressings, breads, crackers, and other "nonsweet" foods that contain hidden sweeteners (look not only for sugar but high fructose syrup and corn syrup on ingredient lists). After a while, your taste buds will become more sensitive to sugar, making the foods you really want to avoid--cookies, cakes, candy--a little less appealing.

3. Keep your hunger in check.
Food addicts often get tripped up by resisting food to the point of being ravenous, then overeating as a result. Rate your hunger on a scale of zero to ten, zero being starving and ten being overstuffed, then try to stay somewhere in the middle.

4. Work it out by working out.
Exercise can actually change the body's biochemistry, helping to make up for some of the physiological imbalances that can lead to food addiction. Also, time spent working out is time that you won't be eating.

5. Find other ways of coping.
Just as some addicts turn to drugs and/or alcohol to help them deal with pain and anxiety, food addicts turn to food. Instead of running away from those feelings, consider talking to a therapist or finding support from a group like Overeaters Anonymous.

6. Don't return to the scene of the crime.
Drug addicts get into trouble when they go back into the neighborhood where they used to buy drugs. Similarly, returning to the same patterns can trip you up. So shake up your routine. If tortilla chips are your weakness, don't go to Mexican restaurants. If the sight of a certain donut shop weakens your resolve, walk another route. If you always have ice cream while watching TV at night, read a book instead (or knit as you watch the tube so your hands will be occupied).

Answer 2

Perhaps you should see a physician and monitor your calorie intake and physical exercise.

The first thing you have to determine is why are you gaining weight? Are you eating too many calories? Or is your metabolism really slow? Or both? If your metabolism seems slow, you should get a blood test to determine if you have a problem which is causing the weight gain. Thyroid disease is very common. Or, possibly you could be pregnant.

You shouldn't, of course, stop eating because your body needs the nutrients to survive. A dietician or perhaps a website can help you plan out a nutritious and low calorie eating plan.

Protein tends to keep you feeling fuller for a longer period of time. If you have eaten a nutritious meal and still feel like eating, eating something very low in calories like celery or a fiber tablet may help.

Before losing weight, perhaps it would be a good idea to set a goal of maintaining your current weight as opposed to gaining more weight.

Answer 3

brief on me-- hi, i'm an expert at this since I've been hungry as hell as far as I can remember. I lost 95 pounds 8 years ago and have kept it off.

well...let me say first that what every else has said to you is all good, but still it aint gonna make you want to stop eating. You either need some pill that's going to take the hunger feeling away or another way to fuel your body without it promoting weight gain. I know everyone is saying -no duh- that's called a diet George. Depending on your finacial situation here's what you should do: join a weight loss center (Weight Watchers, whatever) All of them work because they give you a plan on what to do and if you don't stick with it you wasted your money and make a fool of your self if you mess up. Okay, let's say you can't afford that then go to the public library and check out every diet book they have and learn about what foods to eat and how much to exercise,ect..

Okay- back to getting started.... Once you've done the above here's more tips: Have nothing in your home that's going to make you mess up. Stop eating out because it's to hard to control yourself with all the temptations they offer. Get over it- eating out is breeding ground for messing up! People think I have just got to eat all this because I'm paying so much for it. Or- I'll just eat the rest of little Billy's plate- what a waste of money if I don't. Eating at home can help you control your portions more easier. Oh! and don't you believe in that saying to have just a little of what your craving or you 'll go bonkers. Just have a few bites. How many drinkers have just one shot and say that'll do me for the night - Ha!!!
Cut out the crap and never look back. Good luck!

Stay away from breads and sweets. The best thing to do is go on a fruit diet for a while. Drink lots of water it really does help.If you must have sweets do the sugar free jello,It helped me a bunch.

You should get yourself the free Science of Fat DVD. It will show you how the brain and body regulate weight and why some people are hefty while others are lean.

Answer 6
