Help I'm hungry all the time

Also try a multi-vitamin. When your body is missing vital micro nutrients it will stimulate you to still intake food in an effort to get what it needs. So even if full, you may be malnourished and your beautiful body is letting you know by continuing to 'need' food intake.0

Hi, I am a 34 year old female that can eat all day and still be hungry....What can I eat that will fill me, I've tried the protein diet, and I just end up eating to much, I've tried not eating all day to shrink my stomach the next day, none of these worked for me... please help
You will learn self control....you really will!
In the meantime, you will learn that you need to nourish yourself adequately, exercise hard, and rest!0 -
Add Cinnamon (1-2 TBS) to Yogurt or Oatmeal, something that sticks to your stomach...the Cinnamon will curb those hunger pains and keep you full longer!!!!0

Try eating 2-3 filling meals a day instead of little 5-6 mini meals0

I am going to recommend you read this very short document - it shows you how certain foods actually "fill" you up and trigger you to be satisfied while others have the same or more calories and don't give that same satisfaction (I'll give you a hint ...processed, high fat, high calorie foods do not give you the "full" and "satisfied" filling while whole foods (fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, yes and lean meats DO give that sensation and make you "satisfied" at fewer calories)
http://www.veghealth.com/supercharge/Fit_Forever_Ebook.pdf
It has an advertisement at the end...but who cares the first part is the important part. I'm not trying to get you to buy their program or be a vegetarian, I just want you to read about the science part.0 -
Hi, I am a 34 year old female that can eat all day and still be hungry....What can I eat that will fill me, I've tried the protein diet, and I just end up eating to much, I've tried not eating all day to shrink my stomach the next day, none of these worked for me... please help
How many calories are you allowing yourself a day?0 -
I like bubbly water (better than plain water) it tickles my throat. (and the tiny bubbles keep my tummy a little more full between meals.
also, for me: I can't do 'breads/cereals' at breakfast (pancakes, toast, Fruity Pebbles)- or I am STARVING all day!- but I am fine with those foods at lunch or dinner... and I try to get 20-30 grams of protein per meal (plus some in snacks)0 -

I'd stick with proteins and veg...
It does gain elasticity. Otherwise everyone would be able to eat what eating competition champs eat. They work hard to stretch out their stomachs before competitions.0 -
I like that list, rogue!0

I have the same problem. I would consider myself a human garbage can.
Amoungst other things (liquid, veges etc), I find eating WARM food tricks my mind into being full. For example, I would heat up my sandwich or eat cooked veges over cold/raw.
It must be the comfort & satisfaction.
Additioanlly, I have started eating small amounts more frequently. I dont feel deprived and can stay within my calorie limit (Example- I will eat half my sandwich, go for a walk, have some tea, eat the other half..etc)0 -
you have the water angle covered. I would suggest two things. Chew your food more thoroughly. This will create more saliva with enzemyes released that helps the body think it has eaten. Secondly, I would eat a ton of raw veggies. Mass, fiber but low in cals. I liked the pickle idea also.
Good luck. Be happy and healthy0 -
Higher fiber foods help hold back hunger. But those foods can have unwanted "side effects" let's call them, that can clear a room! Some of the being "hungry all the time" is in your head. If you ate reasonably and your stomach has something to work on.. then you aren't really hungry. You are focusing on the "I'm not liking this diet crap!" idea. Eat healthy, enough calories to not starve, drink water, and then find something to occupy your mind. NOT TV.. WAY too many food commercials and you will notice every one when you are dieting. A good book. "Master of the Game" Sydney Sheldon "Timeline" Michael Creighton "White Shark" Peter Benchley all good books.. just to suggest a few. Good luck oh, also, hot liquids, tea, broth, etc.. seem to stave off hunger. Not sure why.0

Broth is wonderful....forgot about that! Better than Bouillon 1 tsp/ 1 cup of water. Yum/Warm/15cal./and you get a cup of water added to your intake!!!! WIN WIN WIN WIN!0

1200 and it never seems to be enough. I used to be fine with 1200 I am not very active as I have a lot going on, work full time, school, and mother/wife leaves very little me to get sweaty time.... I did however take a plunge back in. Iam not going down without a fight. I am starting walking in the am before work for an hour, and eating better, veggies/meats......snacks consist of yogurt and more veggies... I have had a diet diary on here before but fell off am hoping to be more dedicated and I am finally, sick of being the you're so pretty if only you'd lose some weight girl....0

Thank you for all the helpful tips and suggestions, I truely appreciate them, and will take all and run with them, ok maybe walk at first lol Thank you again each and everyone of you for taking time out of your day to help me.
God Bless0 -
Jenellie,
I have been feeling the same way and I'm starting to think that it's mental or psychological. There is a difference between the two things that you have mentioned: 1) feeling hungry and 2) not feeling full. You can NOT feel hungry and NOT be full. That is, you can be satisfied with what you ate, and not feel hunger pains, but still not be full.
I've started asking myself, do I need to feel full all the time? I'm working to battle the same feeling that you are at 1200 calories. I've started to realize that I need to move past wanting to feel full to mindful eating. Eating in moderation, and not necessarily feeling full all the time, but not feeling hungry either.
I have a busy schedule just like you do and also have limited time to exercise, so I'm walking and running. You can do it! Instead of only thinking about what you are eating, also think about why you are eating, and whether you are really hungry or if you just want to feel full.
I have good days and bad days, and you will too!
Good luck!0 -

1200 Is too low. Most likely below your BMR (basal metabolic rate), the amount of calories your body needs a day if it slept 24 hours. You should be eating above BMR but below your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure). I would suggest upping your calories. You're hungry all the time because you're starving yourself!0 -
Try protein and veggies with every meal, and piece of fruit or berries with nuts and/or cheese in between.0
