How to Lose Weight with Chinese Herbs

Recommended Answer:

On average, people eating reasonable portions of balanced meals gethungry about every three to five hours. Check the balance of foods youeat. Refined carbohydrates like white rice, baked goods and mostcrackers or pretzels are processed by the body fairly quickly. Thatmeans that blood sugars go up and back down rapidly, tending to leaveyou hungry again within two hours. Whole-grain breads and cereals areprocessed more slowly and may leave you satisfied longer.Studies show that hunger is satisfied longer when a meal or snackincludes a small amount of protein. That doesn't have to mean meat.Protein is also found in milk, cheese, yogurt, tofu and other soyproducts, eggs, nuts, seeds and dried beans.Also, vegetables and fruits are missing from many Americans' meals,yet they provide bulk that can help satisfy hunger.Have you let a low fat diet get too low in fat? Fat leaves the stomachvery slowly, so a small amount of fat in a meal keeps hungersatisfied. If your goal is weight loss, excess hunger could be a signthat you've cut your calories too low or that you are pushing to reacha weight that is too low for you.Finally, consider this: Are you actually physically hungry all thetime, or do you simply feel like eating? Eating when you're not hungrycan mean that eating has become a habit for coping with boredom,procrastination or stress. If this is the case for you, the key is todevelop ways to handle these situations without food.If you address all these possibilities and still feel hungry all thetime, talk with your physician. Constant hunger not related to any ofthese factors could be due to medication or a medical problem thatneeds attention.

Other Answers:

• When your eating, you may be multi-tasking such as watching television on a computer or doing something else. You are thinking about doing something else, but you aren't actually concentrating on the taste of the food, making you over-eat and consuming too much.
• eating sugary foods or simple carbs can make you hungrier than usual since they're easily digested, try eating more protein type foods and stick to whole grains
