It’s quite common for people to give up on weight loss because they can’t control their hunger. And your ability to get by on less calories is critical for weight loss to take place.
The problem here is that most people do not know how to manipulate their hunger.
So here is how to feel fuller for longer:
1. Don’t eliminate: Eliminating food groups is a surefire path to deprivation and malnutrition. A much better approach is to have balance in all of your meals. You see, each food group works with the one another synergistically to make you feel full.
2. Eat more protein over many meals: Now you don’t want to increase your protein intake by too much because there are negative side effects associated with this. However, slight increases in protein intake will make you feel full.
3. Hydrate often in small amounts: If you don’t drink enough water you can get hungrier. Even more relevant, if you don’t hydrate enough your digestion and absorption of food will be hindered. So make sure you hydrate consistently.
4. Don’t focus on whole grains: Having legumes and beans will keep you fuller for longer periods of time in comparison to whole grains. You see, legumes and beans have more fiber and digest much slower than whole grains.
5. Reduce body fat: Ironically, as you lose body fat your body becomes more sensitive to insulin. This means that it can extract more nutrition from less calories. Thus, it develops the ability to get by on less food in comparison to when you were heavier.
6. Eat every couple of hours: After the three hour mark your body starts to cannibalize its own tissues to survive. You simply don’ t have a good mechanism for storing carbs and protein after the three hour mark. So try to eat smaller meals more frequently.
Managing your hunger is critical if you want to be able to get in shape. So make sure you take heed of the advice in this article sooner rather than later!
