Tips on dealing with excessive hunger?

You are craving carbs because your body does not have enough energy from the food you have eaten as the carbs you are eating are poor quality.

From what I know, things like bread and pastas are high GI which causes a sugar spike and probably the full feeling you are no doubt getting after you eat, but then you are hungry an hour later.

To be honest, If I ate your diet for a few days, I would be hungry too. You are eating nothing that would fill you up (in a good way).

I would cut back on the bread (pizza), pasta and cookies. All loaded with sugars and in my opinion, the more sugar you eat the more you crave.

Why not try drinking water. Most of the time when you feel hungry, your body is simply dehydrated.

this is all u need to know

Looking at your diary it looks like you could use more protein! It keeps you fuller for longer than carbs ever will!

drink a little more water.....sorry but that is what I do.... I have found I'm not really hungry but thirsty.....but that works for me. Hope you find what works for you

Blood sugar peaks and troughs can carry over from day to day, one day of a good breakfast is not going to fix bad choices made over days or weeks. If you don't get enough micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, essential fats) your body may tell you to eat more to get those - no, a vitamin pill is not a substitute for a healthy diet.

I went back two weeks on your diary. Much of what you are eating is processed nutrient poor junk, your fibre intake is low, your sugar intake is high and there is little in the way of fruits and vegetables. Your carbs are sugar, refined white flour and potatoes which are high on the glycaemic index. Go back to basics, eat real food that looks much like it did as it came off the plant or animal - nine portions of fruit and veggies in the full rainbow of colours, three portions of reduced fat dairy, protein at every meal and snack, healthy fats a couple of times a day, make all your carbs wholegrains or beans/ lentils.

Keep processed foods to 10% of your daily calories, that means one small treat per day. Anything else that is junky cook or bake a healthy version at home. You want fries eat sweet potato ones, you want a burger buy a quality one and cook it yourself, serve with a massive mixed salad (enough for two or three people, red/ yellow/ green/ orange/ blue/ purple in it) and half a wholegrain bun.

You need to eat a decent combination of fat, fiber and protein to feel satiated after a meal or snack.

If I eat just carbs or just protein, I'm starving after. But a veggie burger on whole wheat bread fills me up.

High protein and high fibre help me. And unprocessed foods. I also find that even one meal without proper nutrients and vitamins can leave me a bit of whack for a few days.

I also find my hunger is best satiated when the protein and fibre come in a natural, unprocessed form. So lentils, beans, fruits and veggies for fibre (I have a gluten intolerance so I avoid most grains, but I am going to try gluten free oats when they arrive from the mail order place), meat, poultry, fish, milk, eggs and cheese for protein.

My sister suggested I eat only carbs that have 3g of fiber or more, and mostly that's what I eat now. It's great because my between-meat snacks are high tiber and keep my stomach happy until next meal, which is also high fiber where carbs are concerned. I've got to admit my attitude this time around has changed a lot from all the other times I've tried to manage my diet, and logging my food faithfully makes me more aware of what I'm eating. Try looking up your foods before you get them in your hand to eat and plan ahead. I eat pizza off and on but only 2 pieces instead of the 3 or 4 I used to. My son used to live on pizza and Subway, but even he has managed to cut back and eat better, and I can see the change in how healthy he looks, not to mention a little more weight lost every weekend when he comes home.

Also, planning to eat at regular times and having snacks halfway between main meals really helps cravings. An apple is my snack of choice in the afternoon, keeps my sugar cravings. I always say sugar wants sugar, so eating candy just makes me want more.

spreadout your eating, drink more water, try almonds and bananas.
