Eat When You’re Not Hungry
Many of the popular diets these days are advising you to eat. No big surprise, we’re supposed to eat! However, dieting used to mean deprivation and “no eating”. But now we are being advised to eat every 3 hours or so, to eat 3 meals and 2 to 3 snacks per day. The wisdom behind this is that it keeps your blood sugar level. It also keeps you from getting too hungry. Its much harder to resist “junk food” and make healthy choices when you are famished and starving!
When you try this, you’ll see that oftentimes you are eating when you are not hungry. Have breakfast and 3 hours later, you’re not hungry yet but its time to eat so you eat! But you will also notice that you end up eating less in the long run for that very reason, because you are not hungry! So you end up consuming less and losing weight. Seems counterintuitive but it works. Try it!
