How do you control your hunger?

[minvec]

Ok.. we all know (or we should) that to lose weight you need caloric deficit. Now that said, sometimes it is easier said than done.

I want to hear from people, their methods of controlling hunger. Mine are:

1. Eat regularly
2. Drink lots of water
3. Pick calorie dense food such as potato, broccolli
4. Chew gum

[Shr3dJunki3]

1) Will power

you don't have to eat if your hungry, its called willpower. as long as you got your calories for the day, ignore your stomach.

[Kalimist]

I think my diet is really good for controlling hunger. Either the warrior diet or mine. You don't really get hungry until after you eat and i eat right before bed so i'm satasfied I also don't experience energy loss either so it's well worth it and works great

Mind over matter.

and I just don't have big hunger issues.

I dont get it so much anymore but I used to eat a lot of sugar free jelly or as the americans say jell-o maybe its psycological but its the activity of eating anything that takes your mind off it not so much adding extra calories.I find a couple of bowls of oats a day keeps most of the hunger in check,otherwise just grin and bear it we chose to diet its not like we have to,there has to be at least one down side to losing weight otherwise nobody would be fat if it was too easy.

The one thing that didnt work for me is drinking lots of water for some reason it has the opposite effect on me and increases hunger,same with gum just fills me with air and makes me feel nauseous

x2

I'm comming the the end of the velocity diet and it really comes to will power, if I gave in everytime I was hungry i'd eat like 50x a day on what's suposed to be a liquid diet.

What do you want more, that little bit of food or to get cut?

[LinaE]

Will Power is certainly needed

Any way i distributed my meals from 3 to 5-6 a day

its like

Breakfast
2 slices of wholemeal bread
1 egg

Lunch
boild potatoes or beans

Dinner
grilled chicken fillet (no oil)
salad (olives, cucumber, onions, tomatoes,brocolli,lectuce,sweetcorn)

remember these all depend if you are feeling hungry
halft between lunch and breakfast i use to have an apple or a banana
similarly between luch and dinner another apple or banana
and if i was sleeping very late then one fruit ater dinner before sleep

[Pyro998]

Green Tea, or brushing your teeth. Nothing like eating something with toothpaste flavor.

3. Pick calorie dense food such as potato, broccolli

broccoli? what? that is one of the most un-dense calorie foods, i think i know what you meant to say...pick something as fillling as possible with no calories...i plow through 20oz of dark green veggies/day...might be 200 calories in 20oz of vegetables, all fiber and incomplete proteins

for me, i keep very little food in the house, where i spend most of my time, and of the food i have available, it takes a fair amount of time to prepare, no such thing as snacking in my house

[Maverick777]

Willpower and....

If I feel hungry, I set my phone to alarm in 10-15 minutes and go do something to get my mind off of the food. If I am still hungry when the alarm goes off then I have a little snack.

[Drake7]

coffee and water + willpower ofc.

[mukundh3]

I keep drinking water, and play computer games trying to keep my mind off the hunger :P

[silverbullet86]

if you feel hungry, just eat. Don't over do it. If your fooling your body into not feeling hungry, how is that different from just starving yourself?

[xFORGEDx]

Willpower as everyone else is saying

and for me, at every meal I always have a huge spinach salad, spinach is like 10 calories for a huge bowl. haha. It's a filler as well. And as for a dressing i usually put my meal on top of it, for example if I am eating cottage cheese with my meal that will be my dressing

Bad idea in a way. Some people "feel hungry" all the time.

This is true.

Some people have no off switch. They must limit every meal or suffer the consequences of gaining weight.

[strongerfaster2]

water and will power .... the two Ws will surely help u stop your hunger.

I couldnt agree more... I am one of those ppl. I get everything I should be getting in terms of cals, fat, protein, carbs etc so it's not that I am lacking something or actually really hungry..Plain and simple - I just LOVE food and could eat all day..everyday. Will power is my friend

is somebody talking about me?.

Its insane how different people have naturally different appetites,skinny people seem to have an inbuilt cut off switch that I sadly lack, just watching both my sons the difference is insane one does not purposely eat to be slim yet just the right amount of food seems to completely satisfy him,the amount of food that satisfies me totally leads to weight gain.

I am the same.

I would always eat to much if I don't have a preset limit.

I will never be able to just eat till I am full. Unless I want to be fat.

Sucks, but that is just how it is.

[jepha]

Drink water
will power, i know if i give in its going to take that much longer to get where i want.

I see that you put "feel hungry" in quotes. It is up to the individual to judge whether it is their body telling them that they feel hungry, or whether they are just craving for a taste of food.

[joen270]

I eat potato chips

[rtmiii]

How do you control your hunger?

I eat


Protein & fibrous veggies when I am being good

all else when I am not
