How to Manage Your Hunger
Pay attention when you eat. When you do something while you are eating you are not paying attention to your food, you are not paying attention how much you eat. You might be watching TV, sit in front of your computer, read, do some work or just do something else while you have a meal or snack.
You would think that you eat less if you are distracted by some other activity but the opposite is true. This is mindless eating and you don’t realize how much you eat when you do that. You don’t even savor your food when your mind is on something else.
Don’t try to accomplish other tasks while you are eating. Focus on your food and savor every delicious bite of it. Enjoy your meal more and you will feel fuller faster.
Are you eating because you are hungry? Sometimes we think that we are hungry but we are in fact experiencing another distracting feeling. It could be boredom, anxiety or you just feel stressed out.
Try one of your favorite stress-reducing activities, listening to music, reading or do some light exercise like walking.
If you grab something to eat at the first sign of hunger you won’t able to manage you hunger. An appetite suppressant like Proactol can help you too to control your food cravings.
