3 tips to make you less hungry
Just saw this online...
Thoughts?
3 Tips to help you be less hungry:
1) Eat 5 walnuts or 8 almonds before a meal (roughly 65 cal) to stimulate production of cholecystokinin, a hormone that slows your stomach from emptying so you feel fuller much longer.
2) Brush your teeth frequently – at least 3-4 times a day. Not only will this give you a great smile and keep your breath fresh, but you’re much less likely to want a snack after brushing your teeth.
3) Limit yourself to 3 bites of anything you crave then wait 15 minutes before taking another bite. This will give your body a chance to register the satiety & curb your cravings!

1. I could definitely see that. Not sure about the hormone thing, but if you eat slower, you tend to eat less as you feel full sooner. So eating a little something before a meal could definitely help that.
2. Definitely agree with the theory, but my wife (a dental hygienist) and most dentists suggest not brushing more than 3x a day; 2x is usually plenty as is. excessive brushing agitates your gums a lot leading to possible recession, which isn't a good thing.
3. Also very much agree... but once you pop, you can't stop.

Water and protein shakes. At night, I get the munchies so bad, especially after working out. I eat a few eggs after my workouts, but they pretty much dissolve immediately. A protein shake usually fills me up and keeps me from snacking.

Water and coffee, with the occasional small fruit thrown in. Much cheaper than nuts.

Eat less, move more. You will be hungry a lot if you have a healthy weight. Deal with it.
