I am writing this as a dietitian but also as someone that has dealt with constant hunger. I know what it is like to always be thinking about food, even as soon as you finish a meal. Constant hunger just sucks! I used to think it was emotional - if I could just control my emotions and have more willpower, I could do better! If I could stay busy I could keep my mind off of eating. Two boys should keep someone busy, right? I tried a lot of different things and I will share some that helped. I will also share something that worked.
I have polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) and that is one reason I have a crazy carbohydrate appetite - that is what I called my constant hunger. People that have pcos are at a greater risk to have insulin resistance and develop diabetes. That issue is for another article. Anyway, I always struggled with keeping a healthy weight and here are some of the things that helped, not necessarily in order of importance:
1. Drink more water. Not juice, not soda, not coffee. Water. We often mistake our thirst for hunger. Keeping ourselves hydrated can cut down on our constant hunger. I know you have probably heard this before, but are you doing it?
2. Get more fiber in your diet. High fiber foods are more filling and slow down the digestive process so you will stay full longer. Whole foods like beans, peas, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, etc. have more fiber than convenience foods found at fast food restaurants, etc. Check the food label - try to discover foods that have 3 g of fiber or more per serving. That will help with your constant hunger! And yes, you will be more "regular", and that is a beneficial thing!
3. Move your butt! We sit way too much so I don't care how you do it, but you've got to move it! Chances are, while you are walking, dancing, cycling or whatever you choose to do....you will not be eating. Caution: do NOT think of activity or exercise as a license to eat more. You will sabotage yourself and only add to your constant hunger.
4. Have very low calorie or high protein/low carb snacks in your house and car and get rid of the JUNK. By junk, you know what I mean. Low calorie popcorn is one example of a low calorie snack and a high protein/low carb snack example would be a mozzarella string cheese.
5. Here's what not only helped me, but took away my constant hunger and I lost 22 pounds. and have maintained that weight loss for over 4 years. Four years!! ! It is called Bios Life Slim and yes, I am a Bios Life Franchise owner so my story is just that....my testimony. Without reservation, I recommend Bios Life Slim to anyone wanting to lose weight. It is listed in the Physician's Desk Reference (PDR) and I work with many physicians that provide it to their patients. You take it before you eat two meals a day and it took my crazy carb appetite away after two weeks!! It is the BOMB! It does relate to tip number 2 because each packet has 4 grams of fiber but it is a special blend of mostly soluble fiber and it even improves the bad cholesterol (LDL) and the good (HDL). It is also great for people with pre-diabetes or diabetes because it improves blood glucose.
So! Those are my tips. Please know that if you have constant hunger you are not alone. It is not your fault and there are things that help and Bios Life Slim is something safe and effective that works!
