Extreme hunger is not required in order for you to lose weight, and today you\u2019ll find out you can eat LESS without feeling hungry.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

…\u201cHunger is just fat crying\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

This is another one of those fitness motivational quotes that motivates no one.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

When you design a weight loss plan, your diet shouldn\u2019t make you feel ravenous throughout the day. Yes, feeling hungry is a natural part of the fat loss process.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

You will, at some points of the day, feel hungry, but it shouldn\u2019t be all day long.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

Why?<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

Hunger is going to drain your willpower faster. If you’re full, it\u2019s easier to say \u201cno\u201d to the cake in the breakroom. Now do that when you\u2019re hungry\u2026 It\u2019s much less likely to happen.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

Sure, you might have the willpower to push through it for a week or two, but after that it wears away to \u201cmaybe I\u2019ll just have a taste\u201d to \u201cjust a small slice\u201d, and finally \u201cI\u2019ll just get back on my diet tomorrow\u201d and finally you\u2019re back to eating a regular piece of cake (or two) with no end in sight.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

If you feel hopeless in your weight loss journey, and always succumb to that feeling of hunger, you\u2019re not alone. So what \u201csuper power\u201d do these people have that helps them avoid cheating on their diet, and quit those hunger paints?<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

The answer is to eat MORE foods that are nutrient dense, and trigger your body to feel satiated (AKA full).\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

You already know what they are, lean proteins and vegetables. That\u2019s what should make up the bulk of your diet along with some filling carbs and healthy fats to slow digestion.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

A great tool that can help you figure out exactly what foods will leave you feeling full for longer, google the \u201cSatiety index\u201d and find the foods you like best and eat them often!\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

Which proteins should you focus on?<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

Chicken breast<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

White fish and tuna<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Lean red meat<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Lean ground beef and turkey<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Pork chops and tenderloin<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

The body responds to foods differently with a group of hormones that are called your \u201chunger hormones\u201d which tell you whether to eat more, or to stop. Foods like chicken and other lean pieces of meat trigger those hormones that tell you to stop a lot faster than processed carbs, and fattier cuts of meat.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

All vegetables are good options as they\u2019re ultra low in calories and you can eat a ton but keep your calories low. Where most people mess up is in the cooking process.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

They overdo it on cooking oils, cheese and butter which skyrocket the calorie content. If you want to add a little flavor to your vegetables, try using apple cider vinegar or lemon zest.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

So, we\u2019ve covered the first two foods to fill your plate with\u2026 What about carbs?\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

Think about any foods that are \u201cBinge worthy\u201d and you\u2019ll most likely to thinking about a carb, so it\u2019s easy to just say \u201ccarbs are bad!\u201d\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

The truth is that carbs are not the problem. The problem is when carbs are mixed and processed with fats, which make them what food scientists call \u201cHyperPalatable\u201d and this makes your brain light up with dopamine which leads to overeating.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

It\u2019s not easy to binge eat a plain baked potato\u2026 But add butter, bacon and cheese and you\u2019ll go nuts.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

Plain pasta? Not all that appetizing\u2026 But add butter, garlic and oils and you\u2019ve got a full tummy.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

Plain pizza dough? If you\u2019re eating that then I\u2019ll call a psychiatrist\u2026 But add cheese and sauce and you\u2019ve just eaten enough calories for the entire day.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

For fats, focus on whole food sources like avocado and nuts versus using oil and butter.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

…You get the idea. Carbs are a necessary food group, but if you want to curb hunger and avoid over-eating, then avoid mixing them with sources of fat.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n

\n \n <\/div>\n
\n

In conclusion, if you struggle with hunger pains while on a diet then you should stop limited food quantity, and start to focus on the RIGHT foods on your plate\u2026 Lean proteins and vegetables to fill you up, and carbs with limited fats mixed in!\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n
