Like if you waited too long to eat and you're in starvation mode and you just KNOW your body is gonna store whatever you put in your mouth..?

    I have heard on Dr Oz to eat about 6 or 7 nuts.. or some type of healthy fat and 20 minutes later you won't feel as hungry. The fat sends a message of satisfaction to your brain telling you that you are full.

    I haven't tried it yet... I tend to grab anything I can find if I'm starving... and then work it off later... lol.

    You don't go into starvation mode in one day.

    Almonds do help a lot or a piece of low fat cheese

    If I'm feeling really hungry I want something that feels like a whole bunch of food in my belly. I've resorted to some things that don't taste fantastic BUT are filling. Plain oatmeal sits like a rock in the tummy. Air popped popcorn is good because I tend to be an emotional eater so I can keep throwing something in my mouth for a long time without racking up too many calories. Baked potatoes (plain) , bananas, and hard boiled eggs are my other go tos. I can't even have nuts in my house when I'm losing weight. I love them and tend to eat WAY to many. I can't feel full on them!

    "Starvation mode" is not common and is not the same as "being really really hungry". You certainly aren't going to enter starvation mode by 10 am.

    Unless it has been days since you've eaten you are not in starvation mode. Just eat something healthy that you enjoy.

    its been a learned process for me to not let myself get into starvation mode because that is when i eat anything in my way .. i dont tend to grab something healthy when im that hungry .. so when im that hungry its anybody's guess what im going to eat. one thing i do not do is go to the grocery store when im hungry.. i hit up the bakery, chips and dip, ice cream and god knows what else when i do that

    I know. I totally can't eat all my calories today. I just wasn't hungry at lunch. Could I be in starvation mode?

    I agree with JeannieBeanie................some nuts are a very good option, great source of protein and good fat

    What do I eat when I'm really hungry? Anything in sight unfortunately. If I'm to keep some degree of willpower and good decision making ability I have to have some healthy snacks around to keep me from getting to that really hungry phase.

    First I drink a big glass of water (16 oz) then if I'm still hungry -

    1/4 cup of nuts (I love smokehouse almonds)

    OR

    Popcorn if I want to eat something for a long time...

    OR

    If I really want something sweet - greek yogurt with fresh fruits (usually berries)

    I like to chew my own toenails when I get that hungry.
