What to do if you're hungry

[Guest guest]

I received an off list question from a newbie requesting suggestions on how

to keep hunger at bay. We have an entire file on this subject: In the

folder: BEGINNING CRON which is called " Aids and Tips " . But perhaps the

file could use some updating. So please chime in if you have found

something that works for you and we'll update our files if your tip isn't

already in it.

Dr W of course has lots of suggestions in his book. Including guar gum. I

tried that for a while but did not find it to work very well. For some

apparently it does work.

For me, I find that if I just eat small meals (and stop before feeling

full), I do fine. I eat many small meals and snacks and that is what works

for me. When we eat out I virtually never finish (except perhaps for

salads). I always take home a doggy bag.

1) time. I have found that over time, I have

less desire to be as stuffed and full as I once was.

2) eating big. Increasing the amount of high

nutrient dense, low calorie dense foods, like fresh

fruits and vegetables, allow me to consume more food

without consuming more calories. The " bulk/volume "

goes up but the calories go down. Soup is a wondeful

tool for this as vegetable soups are very bulky and

filling and have very little calories. I make up big

patches and keep it around in the refridgerator and

freezer.
