People often comment that I always seem to be eating. That doesn’t mean at the first tiny hunger pang I go crazy looking for something to stuff in my mouth; just that I plan ahead, have healthy snacks close by, and know it’s likely I’ll get hungry every few hours. Here’s my usual weekday routine (times vary, but this is typical).

Weight Loss Maintenance Diet

Breakfast: 7:00 AM (I tend to wake up hungry)

Mid-Morning Snack: 10:00 AM usually fruit, yogurt, bagel. I do make an effort to wait until 10:00 for my first snack, but if I’m really hungry, I’ll go ahead and eat as early as 9:00. I have cut back on the bagels recently. I noticed I was eating a giant bagel (over 300 calories) every day, and I was getting really sleepy soon after. I don’t know if there’s a connection, but when I notice excessive sleepiness or other odd symptoms, it just pays to check what you’ve been eating.

Lunch 11:30 - 1:30 PM (depends on whether I get hungry). Guess what? If I don’t get hungry until 3:00, then that’s when I eat. I like soups, tuna mixed with salsa, something wrapped in a tortilla or whatever I’ve brought. I go out to eat but not often.

I don’t usually want anything between my lunch and dinner, but if I get hungry, I’ll eat. This isn’t set in concrete, it’s just my usual routine.

Dinner anytime from 4:00 - 6:30 (same thing, I eat when I get hungry, so if I had more during the day, it’ll be longer before I’m hungry again.)

Evenings I hardly ever get hungry, so I rarely eat after dinner (most likely because I eat plenty during the day). During the week if I think I’m hungry and it’s after 9:00 PM I might drink some water, or have an apple or a pickle. That usually takes care of it. I’ll also sometimes just decide to ride it out (the hunger). It’s not going to kill me to feel a bit hungry now and then, and it’s probably not real hunger but emotional hunger anyway, so food isn’t really going to help.

I broke the habit of eating most of my calories after 5:00 PM years ago. Now I eat all day, and hardly ever in the evening, even on weekends. It works for me, but I do make an effort to eat clean, meaning little processed or fast foods, because if I start popping tiny candy bars, or eat french fries a few days in a row I’ll start wanting them more often.

My theory is if the food value (nutritional value) is low (as it tends to be in processed foods) my body will still want nutrients, even though it may have enough calories. This can explain why one can eat a lot and still feel hungry, or be hungry soon after eating a big meal. Think about it. Did you eat good quality, nutritious food, or did you eat something batter fried, dipped in sugary sauce, or dripping with grease? Did it contain good quality nutrients, or just yummy taste?

If someone brings something incredibly special, but I’m full from breakfast, then I’ll take some on a plate and have it later when I’m hungry again. Hunger always returns.

If you think you are always hungry (and believe me, I’ve been there), then keep a food diary (see Food & Exercise Diary in the Tools section of my site) for a few days to get a look at what you are eating. It may be there is a lack of nutrients, which explains why it’s possible to still be hungry even after eating a lot of food.

The Best Appetite Suppressant is Good Food.

EFT Suggestions for Hunger or Cravings (Learn EFT–see resource box below):

“Even though I’m still hungry, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though I think I’m still hungry, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though I’m craving donuts, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though I want to eat everything I think I shouldn’t, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

Try EFT on direct cravings, when they strike. It only delays your eating a few moments, so try it, and see whether it reduces the desire, even a tiny bit. If it does, then eat slowly and enjoy what you’ve chosen. You may just discover you’re satisfied with less, but enjoying it more.

Have you ever found yourself here?

You gain weight, you hate the way you look, you feel dreadful, your clothes don’t fit… it’s time to diet.

So you hear about the new super diet and you get all excited and try that. You feel hungry all the time on the diet so you pretty soon fall off the wagon… but then… to your dismay… you put on more than you lost.!

And the cycle repeats!

What’s happening here?

Pretty simple but not so obvious. Diet’s don’t make you thin… they make you fat!

When you eat less to lose weight your body goes onto “famine alert”. It says: “Wow, there must be a shortage of food. I’d better conserve”. And your body reaches out and dials in a lower metabolic rate to make the food go further.

You don’t just want to lose the weight… what you really want is to lose the fat. If you drop your weight quickly you lose water, muscle and other lean tissue that makes up 25% of what you lose.

Why is this?

Your body conserves fat in case there’s a famine… it’s in your genes. So if your body thinks there’s a famine happening, it will actually break down muscle and lose water to protect those fat reserves.

On top of that if you get on a fast track weight loss program by eating a lot less and then go back to eating normally, a much higher percentage of the food you eat is laid down as fat.

Why?

Because your body is playing it safe… it’s preparing for the next famine… just in case!

And then there’s your metabolism. When you crash diet, your metabolism slows down to conserve energy and eke the most out of the meager amounts you’re feeding it. When you go back to eating normally your metabolism stays at the slower rate… you store more fat!

So what are we to do?

Well the trick is to eat in such a way that you lose weight… but your body doesn’t panic.

Don’t crash diet! Be willing to give the process a chance. The real enemy in the equation is the typical North American fast food diet rich in highly processed carbohydrates… not to forget all those low fat, high carb snacks like low fat chips.

It’s the carbs that do you in. They spike your blood sugar levels repeatedly and eventually you become insulin insensitive and can’t metabolize the sugars in your bloodstream. They get converted to fat instead of energy and muscle.

The secret to success is to get off highly processed carbs completely and then over time re-introduced them in their natural complex form. (Potatoes are bad, bad, bad… they’re just waiting in ambush to bring you down).

I can show you how to reverse that carbohydrate addiction and as a bonus lose up to 5 pounds or more in 5 days.

You will lose your food cravings and not go hungry. It’s true! We have huge success with this program.

If you are looking to take that weight off as quickly as possible, you have most definitely come to the right place.

Although it is not recommended to lose weight at an all together rapid pace, it can be useful if you are looking to drop those pounds in time for some sort of event.Maybe you have a wedding coming up, a big date, your anniversery, or whatever the case may be, it is understandable to want to lose the weight rather quickly.

Let me just tell you, that with any rapid weight loss diet you go on, you are likely to put the weight right back on unless, you can go on starving your self for the rest of your life.Furthermore, most of the initial weight you will be losing is water weight, and if your goal is to lose weight quickly you will most definitely be losing muscle mass, as well as fat.

With that said, it is important to note that 1 pound of fat equals about 3500 calories, and your body burns around 2000 calories a day by itself. Therefore your goal is to have a calorie intake of only 1500 calories a day, go for a thousand if you think you can handle it. Make sure that most of your calorie intake is from proteins however, because, not only will it suppress your hunger, but it will also allow you to lose more fat than muscle mass.

Make sure that you aren’t avoiding carbohydrates altogether though. They give your body the energy it needs to function correctly. Also, make sure that you exercise for a good 30 minutes at pace you can handle, on either a treadmill or an elliptical machine. A treadmill will do a better job, but the elliptical is also good.

If you follow this plan, you will be losing a little over a pound a day, but like I said, once you stop this routine of only 1000 to 1500 calories a day you are very likely to go right back to your normal size.

If you need help planning your diet, fat loss 4 idots has an excellent program. You can get their program when you visit my page from the link below.

Also, if you want longer lasting results with your fat loss, you can also check out the other programs that are offered when you visit my page.

Good Luck to you and take care!

Focus on small steps…they make a huge difference.

Make one small change each day to lead you toward your goals. Practice that change until it becomes a habit, then add another small change. That way, you’re building on successes each day, getting one step closer to your goals.

Here are some examples of small changes:

*Don’t use mayonnaise when you make a sandwich, switch to mustard or low fat mayonnaise

*Skip the butter, why add the extra fat? Use jam or peanut butter instead.

*Use a pedometer to gage your daily steps, challenge yourself.

*Switch white bread for whole grain.

*Replace soda or that 2nd or 3rd coffee with water.

*Take the stairs, park farther away from the store.

*Add a salad to you lunch and dinner with a healthy dressing

Visualize your Goals.

Have a clear vision of what your goals are–both short and long term. When you start to see changes, you will be motivated to keep moving forward. Post a picture, phrase, or affirmation to remind you of the positive benefits that will occur. This helps you to want to change and strengthens your commitment to your goals.

Make a weekly plan. Have a plan of action. This way you will know what you’re going to do all week to work to reach your goals. For best results, make your plan specific. “I will go for a 30 minute walk before breakfast on Monday, Wednesday and Friday”.

Tip: My clients that start Monday with exercise and who get it done in the am each day are more dedicated. This way, no excuses can come up later in the day. People who workout in the morning have higher success rate at sticking with it than the ones that schedule their workouts at night. If that fits into your lifestyle that is great, if not, we need to find what will work for you to stick to!

Associate with friends who make healthy choices. This really helps to have other people around you who are health conscious. With outside support, you’re more likely to succeed and to stick to your goals. For instance, find a friend or neighbor who enjoys walking, this can be a great motivator. Or take time with friends to bike or power walk.
