I am Starving................. What To Do When You're Hungry and Trying to Lose Weight..

How are we all doing today?  I don't know about you but I am starving.........



So today I went online and did some searching for something, anything that would help with my hunger.  Now let's remember we are eating clean so we need something natural and healthy....

I was very surprised with the information I found.  So I thought I would share it with you.


"Losing weight requires you to feel hungry from time to time.  There is no way to lose weight without feeling some degree of hunger."   UGHHH   seriously, damn. 

"The key is realizing there's nothing wrong with experiencing hunger from time to time.  It's a normal human response to a decrease in the consumption of calories.  The problem is that most people feel it is some sort of emergency when they feel hungry.  It feels like they are dying or wasting away when, in fact, the body is just signaling that it doesn't have enough calories to add new fat to the stores it's already carrying around."  Oh Thank goodness this is normal.

Okay.....   so now what helps.  We know we can't shut it off like a light switch but there are a few things yu can do to ease it a little.  

1.     Water........  Drink 8oz of water when you first feel hungry if your hunger has not subsided try some Organic Low Sodium Vegetable Broth .  A whole quart is only 60 calories.

2.    If that doesn't appeal to you try leafy green vegetables.  I consider these to be free veggies (arugula, spinach, water spinach, watercress, lettuce, romaine, cabbage, kale).  Top with  salsa or fresh squeezed lemon.  This is almost free.

3.   I found this fabulous recipe for a banana-flavored protein pudding from www.naturalnews.com .  Put one cup soy protein, 1 scoop Nature's Plus - Spiru-Tein Banana Flavor Powder, stevia for sweetner.  blend throughly while blender is running add 1/8 tsp Guar Gum Powder and 1/8 tsp Xanthan Gum Powder .  The last two ingrediants are thickening agents.  Keep blending until it is the consistency of pudding.  Tastes great and fills you up fast!!

4.    There is also one very good supplement that I have found to be not only effective as an appetite suppresant but also, many many other benfits.    Organic Wheat Grass Tablets this supplement is said to

• Increases and sustains energy naturally
• Detoxifies and cleanses your body
• High alkalinity helps balance your body?s pH level
• Strengthens your immune system.

I hope these tips help you as much as they helped me.
