starving

You could try putting some protein powder into a yogurt for breakfast or a snack. It will help fill you up longer!

I started about 30 pounds away from my goal weight at 180 pounds (female) and have been on a 1200 calorie diet for over a month now with no problems or complaints. Actually figuring out where a calorie comes from and what makes certain foods high or low in calories made my life SO much easier! Google "energy density" and read an article or two. Basically, it tells you how to stretch your calories the farthest. If you don't have time to read them and figure it all out, it takes your body longer to break down certain foods (namely proteins and fiber), so you feel full longer on less calories. Multi-grain Sandwich Thins are my saving grace, with a thin smear of peanut butter (nuts are tricky- good fats, but extremely high in calories), hummus, or sugar free jelly. Also, plain cereals (like bran and multi-grain cheerios) with unsweetened ALMOND milk. Unsweetened soy and almond milk is very low in calories without the massive amount of sugar present in cow's milk. You can add in fruits like blueberries and strawberries, too. One cup of my bran cereal and one cup of almond milk is under 150 calories. Also, green veggies are excellent and there are SO many options out there that aren't plain lettuce! My favorite treats (without starving myself) are low-sugar dark chocolate, fruit smoothies (cup unsweetened almond milk, cup frozen berries, 2 Splenda = 150 calories), and freezer pops I make myself with Crystal Lite. I drink a LOT of water throughout the day and green tea. I find that most of the time I think I'm hungry, it's just because I'm bored. A glass of water or a piece of sugar free gum keeps my mouth busy and I usually find that I forget about eating because I wasn't really hungry in the first place! Good luck!

Up your calories. If you're hungry, you're not eating enough.

When i exercise i get more calories but still not much thoe because i weigh 155 i wont lose alot of calories working out...

What the heck does this mean? I weighed 160lbs and I lost a ton of calories working out. Also, up your calorie intake.

I am in your situation too whereby not many alofies are burned from exercising. Initially when I started to cut down on my calories, trust me, I was always feeling hungry. I guess you have to give your body some time to adapt to your lower calorie intake. For me, it took approximately 2 weeks. If you are really hungry, dot starve yourself! Snack on food that are low in calories but filing at the same time. For me, japanese cucumbers are the way to go! There are only around 10 calories per stick and 2 sticks should keep you feeling satisfied. I would advice to never snack on nuts or protein bars when you are hungry as you will tend to have lots of them, resulting in many calories consumed. Those snacks should only be consumed when not hungry, So that you can easily control your portion. Just my suggestions! Good luck

I find I am like that on days when I work the late shift and it messes up my normal meal times.

I think the trick to getting through hungry days is to pick snacks that are filling - I will have grapes, or watermelon, and to drink lots of water.

I think changing your settings to 1lb a week vs 2lbs is a good solution. See how 1460 cals a day works out for you. Personally it's a good amounr for me but I also try to eat filling foods, like yogurt, granola, fresh fruit (apples especially), etc. I'm hungriest in the afternoon around 4 or 5 since I usually save 500 or so calories for dinner. My husband has yet to get on the healthy eating kick so our dinners are often calorie dense. Anyhow, upping your calories by 200-300 isn't going to drastically affect your ability to lose weight. Those are 2-3 extra snacks during the day that keep you from feeling starving come meal time.

Eat more! I'm 5'1", 112 lbs. and eat more than you do to lose weight.

Keep yourself busy and avoid thinking about food. 1200 cal is not a bad number. Eat 3 meals a day at 400 cal each.

Google "FULNESS FACTOR" and educate yourself about hunger and satiety. These high-FF foods, which include most vegetables, fruits, and lean meats, do a better job of satisfying your hunger.

I would eat more meals, like small meals, fruits and veggies yes, like small breakfsat, eg small bagel with cream cheese and celery, then a snack between break fast and lunch, eg apple? lunch half a sandwhich and a salad, then another snack, grapes or something, then for dinner, the other half of the sandwhich and bakes homeade fries. That way you eaat less calories. and you stay full

That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

Good lean proteins and non-starchy veg and you won't be hungry.

I'm starving right now too. I hope I'll get used to it. I ate a 1/2 cup of PLAIN instant oatmeal with skim milk and a banana at around 8am. I also had a handful of almonds at around 10AM. it's 400 calories already. ................

And next to no protein.

EAT MORE PROTEIN!! There are SO many low calories protein choices that will keep you from feeling hungry. Chicken breast, turkey, fish, eggs & egg whites are great choices. Just try not to fry your proteins because that will add a ton of calories. This is the best thing I learned at weight watchers!
