Is it Possible to Lose Weight without Feeling
Hungry:
Absolutely it is! “I need to lose weight
but I’m sick of feeling hungry all the time,” is a common statement made
by those who follow fly-by-night diets. If your diet leaves your stomach rumbling every hour on the hour, it’s
time to make a change. Many people think that losing weight means having to starve. I can actually eat really
well and still drop weight.
The time spent starving in the name of losing weight is miserable. If you
do happen to lose a few pounds, it will probably all come back in a matter of weeks,
sometimes ending up heavier than when you started. Talk about depressing!
What I learned through years of research (and trial and error) is that when you
follow a healthy eating plan, you can eat what you want, and still see amazing weight loss results.
So what Are Healthy Foods?
Healthy foods are not created in a factory where they're processed to death. If the
food is dried, canned, frozen or filled with ingredients you can’t pronounce, stay away from it. Examples of
healthy foods include fresh fish, naturally raised meats, legumes, seeds, organic poultry, organic whole eggs, raw
nuts, and fresh fruit and vegetables.
How to Make Healthy Meals More Filling
There’s nothing more dismal than dealing with hunger pangs all day. If your meals
aren’t satisfying you, this is exactly what’s going to happen. Here are some tricks to make your meals more
filling:
Add a source of
quality protein and a source healthy fat (yes, fat) to each
of your meals. Doing this makes meals more satiating and curbs hunger. Sources of healthy protein include natural
meats, organic whole eggs, organic poultry and fish. Sources of healthy fat include avocados, fish, beans, raw
nuts, coconut oil and olive oil.
Load your plate
with veggies. It helps to divide your plate into three
sections and fill the larger section with veggies. Leave the other two sections for meat and other foods. Veggies
are full of fiber, so they expand in the stomach, digest slowly and keep you full longer.
Drink a glass of
water before each meal and throughout the day. This will
help you feel full faster and reduce hunger.
Examples of Healthy, Filling Meals and Snacks
Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs, 1/3 cup of oatmeal with
cinnamon and a small pear.
Snack: 1 medium apple, 1 cup of cucumber slices and 1 oz
of raw nuts.
Lunch: 4 oz ground turkey, 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice, 8
oz carrot sticks, and a small green salad with vinegar and olive oil dressing.
Snack: 2 tablespoons of almond butter, 2 slices of rye
crisp bread and 8 oz of celery sticks.
Dinner: 5 oz broiled halibut steak, 1/2 cup of green beans
sautéed in garlic, small baked sweet potato and a small green salad with apple cider vinegar and olive oil
dressing.
Diet plans that leave you hungry all the time (or even some of the time) are evil.
Why not scrap the diet altogether and eat healthy instead? If you do it this way, you can eat delicious, filling
foods and still lose weight.
Always remember that you don't need to struggle. Hypnosis can help you change your eating
behaviors with no struggle, no deprivation and absolutely not feeling hungry all day.
