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.0 -
Almonds do help a lot or a piece of low fat cheese0

You don't go into starvation mode in one day.0

Thanks! I'll go eat a handful right now! I do this all the time! I forget to eat breakfast and by 10 I'm super hungry.0

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!0

Unless it has been days since you've eaten you are not in starvation mode. Just eat something healthy that you enjoy.0 -
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 that0

a couple baby carrots dipped in hummus. Keeps me full for a while0

I know. I totally can't eat all my calories today. I just wasn't hungry at lunch. Could I be in starvation mode?0 -
I agree with JeannieBeanie................some nuts are a very good option, great source of protein and good fat0

Anything I want. I can't stand being in starvation mode!0

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.0

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)0 -
I eat stuff.0

I like to chew my own toenails when I get that hungry.0
