If you are on a weight loss plan or are working towards specific weight loss goals, you may experience a strong temptation to snack. It can be difficult to resist snacks if you are feeling hungry, but in order to reach your goals, you have to stay in control and stay on track.
When you first begin to feel hungry, ask yourself a few questions.
1. Is this genuine hunger, or are you craving junk food or that mid-afternoon candy bar?
2. Are you drinking enough water?
3. Have you had enough sleep? Sometimes lack of sleep or water can disguise itself as hunger pangs.
4. Do you just want to eat from sheer boredom, or from social pressure?
5. If you do decide to eat, pay careful attention to how much you eat, and only eat until you are satisfied (not full).
By asking yourself these questions, you are taking the time to analyze your situation and determine whether you're really hungry. Hopefully the answers to these questions will help you to decide not to have that extra snack, or at least to make it a healthy snack. Learn what it feels like to be genuinely satisfied instead of stuffed. Learn to listen to your body and what it really needs versus what you want.
