To be successful at lifelong weight management, we
need to make food choices that help us feel full with fewer calories and make
sure that we don’t feel hungry. Feeling full and satisfied while eating
nutritious foods should be a critical part of any successful weight loss eating
plan.
Hunger is the most significant problem with weight loss and a diet that results
in hunger will never be successful. It is hard not to eat when we get hungry.
It goes against human nature. When we get hungry, we tend to want to eat more.
The feeling of an empty stomach is very difficult, if not impossible, to
tolerate and at some point we give in. You diet is not going to work for you if
you are hungry or tired all the time.
It is hard to force yourself to eat less. But it's possible to choose what we
eat. Some foods keep us full and satisfied, while with others hunger returns
soon after eating.

Lost 91 pounds without feeling hungry
In May 2010 my weight was 261 pounds. Since then I learned a lot about physiology, nutrition, health and exercise science, and I believe I know more about losing weight than an average person. When it comes to shedding pounds, it is what and when we eat that counts most. If you change what you eat and how you eat, you will be able to lose weight. I did it and it worked very well for me. I lost 91 pounds without feeling hungry.

While staying home and sitting through Hurricane Sandy
Whether you were
affected directly by Hurricane Sandy, or just fitness what is going on in New
York, the devastating event has caused many of us to feel way more fragile.
For some New Yorkers
live is slowly and gradually returning to normalcy, but for many it is going to
take much longer. While times are extremely tough for those who still have no
power, heat and water, there are many examples that Hurricane
Sandy brought out the best in us.
It appears that at a moment of extreme polarization, Mother
Nature brought us together and the we're-all-in-this-together
spirit is being felt everywhere.
Strange thing happened
to me. While staying home and sitting through Hurricane Sandy I ended up with
eating even when I was not really hungry. I am surprised by my response to the
storm.

Which one describes you?
We can feel powerless. We believe life just happens to us. It’s
out of our hands, so we sit back, play the role of the victim and react to
everything.
Or, we can feel powerful. We believe our choices make a difference in
what happens to us. We chose to act rather than react to people and situations.

Losing weight can be achieved without feeling hungry
To be successful at lifelong weight
management, you need to make food choices that help you feel full with fewer
calories and make sure that you don’t feel hungry. Feeling
full and satisfied while eating nutritious foods is a critical part of my
eating plan.

and a diet that results in hunger will never be successful. It is hard not to

It is hard to force yourself to eat less. But it's
possible to choose what you eat. Some foods keep you full and satisfied, while
with others hunger returns soon after eating. Eating large amount of the right
food is my key to success.
I consumed a low number of calories but got all the
fullness and satisfaction. My simple, if not primitive, web page ilostweightyoucantoo.com
shows what food choices I made to control hunger, so I could lose weight, keep
it off, and stay healthy.
Eating foods high in nutrients and fiber and low in
calories allowed me to become satiated without consuming excess calories. Fresh
green vegetables and fresh low-sugar fruits are the best of those foods. They let
me feel full with the least amount of calories. Green raw vegetables are low in
calories and rich in nutrients and fiber. The more of them I ate, the more
weight I lost.

Do you eat every night in front of the television?
Do you eat every night in front of the television?
Gaining weight is hard to avoid when we eat in front of the TV. As long as food is readily available, most of us will continue to eat, well past the point of satiation.
Gaining weight is hard to avoid when we eat in front of the TV. As long as food is readily available, most of us will continue to eat, well past the point of satiation.
We end up eating more because we simply eat to the pace
of the program, or we eat until the program is over.
Eating in front of the TV sets us up to prefer unhealthy
foods, because we are exposed to more advertising for unhealthy foods, than
commercials for fresh fruits and vegetables. Saturday, September 29, 2012
