Probably, everyone knows the feeling of hunger that occurs suddenly. At this point, it seems that you can easily eat a whole elephant. As a result, hunger is drowned out by what is at hand. And for some reason, there is always fatty and sweet food at hand. Or fast food harmful to the body. All this leads to the fact that the sight of your own figure in the mirror causes deep grief. However, hunger can also be fought without performing any special feats.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, balance your diet. Do not take your entire daily intake once or twice. In this case, most of the calories will settle in the form of fat, not only on the waist and hips, but also on the walls of blood vessels. This happens because the liver does not have time to convert all the nutrients it has received into kinetic energy. What the body does not have time to process is sent to the reserve. The reserve is lipids, fat cells. In short, eat five to six times a day in small portions, and you will feel hunger much less often.
Step 2
Don't forget about breakfast. Breakfast is necessary in order to saturate your body after sleep and charge it with energy, which is enough to calmly survive until lunch. That is why it is recommended to eat foods rich in slow carbohydrates for breakfast: cereals, muesli, cereal bread. Slow carbohydrates will be processed by the body for a long time and provide you with energy.
Step 3
Reduce the amount of fast carbs in your diet. Fast carbohydrates are fatty sweet foods, white bread, pastries. They are the reason for the false feeling of hunger. If you eat a serving of fast carbs, they are instantly processed and will dramatically increase your blood sugar levels. This, in turn, will cause the pancreas to release so much insulin into the bloodstream that you will feel brutal hunger again. In short, if 20 minutes after sweet tea and cake you feel hunger again, this hunger is false. And your body intensively processes the 500-600 kilocalories that you just received. By the way, this is a little less than half the daily calorie intake for a woman working in an office.
Step 4
Don't skip protein foods. It is proteins that allow you to cope with hunger without eating too much. Protein foods are not always high in calories. Lean meat, cottage cheese, lean fish should be present in your diet. Experiments have shown that people who had lean proteins in their diets ate 300-400 fewer calories per day on average than vegetarians. At the same time, the "meat-eaters" did not feel hunger.
Step 5
Sometimes you mistake the feeling of thirst for feeling hungry. If you feel anxious to chew on something, try drinking a glass of water at room temperature. The chances are very high that hunger will recede.
Step 6
The hypothalamus is responsible for the feeling of hunger and appetite. In order to awaken its activity, an appetizing smell or a beautiful image of food is enough. Therefore, if you do not want to eat too much, hide the food. First of all, on my own. In this case, there will be less chances that you, succumbing to a momentary impulse, will shove something very appetizing and high-calorie into your mouth.
Step 7
Very often women catch themselves thinking: "What can I do?" As a result, they go to the kitchen and eat something. Boredom is disguised as hunger. If you catch yourself thinking that “there’s nothing to do, I’ll go have tea and a sandwich,” you need physical activity. Make a few bends, walk or tidy up the apartment, you will notice that the urge to eat something has disappeared without a trace.
Step 8
Note that it is not only time that passes unnoticed in good company. Such portions are imperceptibly eaten, which at normal times you were scared to look at. Man is a social being, and it is always more pleasant for him to take food in the company. If it is impossible to avoid fun gatherings, control yourself in these moments with special care.
Step 9
Get enough sleep! The body compensates for the lack of adequate rest by increasing the need for sweet, salty and starchy foods. It is not only the duration of sleep that is important, but also its regularity. In order for your hormonal background to be in order, you must sleep at least 7, 5 hours daily.
