A concern I get from clients is how to lose weight without starving, this is a real fear for many people especially if they have gone through extreme dieting practices in the past. This article shares the 4 practical dietary shifts that will allow you to stay satisfied while you lose weight.
1. Eat small meals throughout the day. If you are not used to this method you will have to play around with it to get it to feel comfortable. The benefit is that your body doesn’t get overloaded with food and tends to keep your insulin levels from spiking and making you fell hungry too soon.
2. Eat protein at each meal. Protein breaks down slowly and keeps digesting for a longer period of time which keeps you from feeling starved.
3. Eat vegetables at each meal. A salad at each meal or a non-starchy vegetable will add very few calories but a lot of fiber which will not only make you feel full but help you stay that way.
4. Drop calorie-laden drinks. These do very little to satisfy your hunger and add a ton of empty calories which can wreck your hard work.
These dietary strategies will keep your stomach feeling full, the last thing I would suggest is that you learn to distinguish true hunger from an emotional need for food. A very practical way to break these two apart is to pause for a few moment when you have the urge to eat and ask yourself, “how hungry is my stomach feeling?” If your stomach feels fine yet you still want to eat you may be “starving” for the emotional need that food fills.
