How to fool the urge to eat

Hunger or craving for food? Do you know the difference between them? Knowing how to identify them and how to deal with them is the key to start your healthy weight loss.

The first thing we have to keep in mind is: we only need to eat what the body needs to supply our daily energy requirements. And the body tells us when to do this by giving the HUNGER signal! When we feel our stomach rumbling and even screaming (the famous growling...lolrsrsrs) it is usually time to eat yes. Of course, if we eat every three hours on average, we don't need to get to that point. Keeping an eating routine helps a lot in the weight loss process.

You know when you have that feeling that you have to put something in your mouth and you don't know what? Or, on the contrary, the "hunger" we are feeling can only be appeased with that fatter piece of pizza? Normally this is just I WANT TO EAT! Then, when you get that feeling, wait a little longer. Drink some water, in small amounts, and see how long this tactic can "fool" your brain. Many times we confuse hunger with thirst and end up eating when it is not the right moment. Keeping your mouth busy, but not with food, helps to deceive the desire to eat. At the beginning of my weight loss process, chewing sugarless gum helped me a lot. I also adopted the consumption of almonds, walnuts, nuts, and raisins. It's a healthy and functional way to kill the desire to eat CRAZY food.

Then, if after all this, you feel that the hole in your stomach is getting bigger and bigger, then you can go for that salad with grilled chicken that is really hungry!!!!! (You thought you were going to order fast food, right?) But it is possible to eat healthy and delicious and I will show you in other posts.

Start practicing these exercises constantly and you will see that being aware of what you are eating is the gateway to reaching your dream goal!
