Hunger loss.

If you are like me I suppose perhaps you are paying more attention whilst eating and noticing your body's cues more,
Not falling prey to the wrong food so avoiding sugar spikes which leave you hungrier afterwards,
drinking more water so you're not mistaking thirst for hunger and
providing your body with better nutrition overall and so less prone to overeat.

I am only a beginner so I'm not sure but that's what I would guess.

Ever since I've started following MFP, and watching my calories, I'm finding myself less hungry. Such as today my family went out to a nice steak restaurant, but I could hardly eat 1/3 of my meal before I felt full, and feeling full, I stopped eating. I was also drinking water with it.

Is it normal to not feel as hungry as one used to after one starts watching? What could this come of? It happens rather regularly, one or two times a week, and it's quite odd, to me.

I don't know if it's normal or not; but I do know that it's happening to me as well. I suspect that just as eating "large" creates a hormonal imbalance (i.e. creating a false sense of hunger and satiety), now that I'm eating less and better, incresing my daily activity and drinking water, the the imbalance is being corrected. At one point, you may find yourself struggling to eat all of your calories!

As long as you are eating enough calories compared to what you are burning in your workouts. Some days I may not feel like eating(I wonder sometimes if that is more mental then physical). I see with myself that my better choices of meals I am less hungry. Some days to get enough good, healthy calories I have to grab a few more snacks like peanut butter, yogurt, cottage cheese, almonds, walnuts, sting cheese, just to make my caloric intake goals:)

I have to be careful because if I see a lot of extra calories leftover at the end of the day, this says "wow, that's gonna be a lb or two off the scale but it doesn't mean it's fat alone I am losing). More and more I am into building muscle or at the very least toning up those muscles and not worrying about the scale. Stronger muscles burn more fat! Denise
