Weight Loss - When Hunger Can Be Good For You
When you change your diet by cutting down on your over consumption of food you will begin to feel hungry during certain times of the day.
This is nothing to worry about as it is a natural reaction especially if it's the first month of your new diet plan.
In the past when you felt hungry the habit would be to snack and eat large meals.
This is what your body is use to and when this habit changes the hunger pangs can kick in.
The hunger sensation is a completely normal sensation.
It is the signal that are body gives to us that we should eat.
However, due to many people overeating for long periods there hunger signals are out of balance.
In prehistoric times humans ate when they felt hungry.
In the modern world we eat based on a schedule.
One of the most important meals of the day is the breakfast.
Naturally your body should feel hungry because the body needs fuel to get it through the morning until lunch time however, many people skip breakfast because they do not feel hungry.
This will make them very hungry during the day where they will have either a big lunch or dinner.
After about 4 weeks your body should normalise and you should be waking up feeling hungry and looking forward to eating your breakfast in the morning.
The key thing to remember is that you should eat when you are hungry not eat because it is time to eat.
Another important point is that you should eat smaller portions.
A bad eating habit that many people have is that they sit down to eat a large meal in the evening shortly before they go to bed.
This means that very little of these calories will be burned off and therefore, increasing their weight.
It will take time but you will want to reach a point that you will be hungry before you sit down for each meal.
Another important tip is to chew your food slowly.
It has been researched that after 20 minutes of chewing the brain signals to the body that it is full.
Another benefit of chewing your food more is that it is easier for the body to digest which does not put pressure on the digestive system.
Always seek a doctor's advice if you have a medical condition or food allergy before changing your diet.
