Don't go hungry! When people are hungry, they are forced to eat larger quantities of food, which are not always nutritious or healthy.
To avoid hunger, it is important to consider:
1. Maintain a set schedule for your meals
2. Do not prolong your fasting hours
3. Try to have 3 meals (breakfast – lunch – dinner) and 2 snacks (between each meal)
What can you do to avoid hunger?
1. Keep your blood sugar levels in check
2. Eat fiber-rich foods
3. Eat foods rich in plant proteins
It is not necessary to follow a very strict diet, but it is important to consider the caloric needs of our body and know what we can eat and in what quantities.
If you are one of those people who like to consume sugar to satisfy hunger, we suggest replacing high-sugar foods with equally tasty ones that have more health benefits. For example, you can eat a jelly made with sugar substitute or a plate of fruit with a bit of honey.
What can I eat when I feel hungry?
1. Fruit. Especially an apple or even an orange cut into segments.
2. Water. Water can help you feel less hungry due to the space it occupies in your stomach. You can drink 2 to 3 glasses of water.
3. Natural yogurt. This is very healthy and nutritious; you can also add some cereal and a little honey for a sweet taste.
4. Avoid excessive exercise. When you overdo it with the amount of exercise you do in a day, it can make you very hungry due to the energy expended.
5. Measure your portions. Don’t overeat; it’s not necessary. Even if you are hungry, be mindful of the quantity you eat. It is very common to overeat when hungry until we feel more than satisfied, and that is not good for health.
6. Get enough sleep. When people do not get enough sleep, the body craves more sugars for energy during the day, which can create a vicious cycle.
