How does your body tell you it's hungry?

[Guest guest]

Personally, I find the full signal a bit easier than the hungry one. I'm working

at stopping BEFORE I feel 'full' but that side of things is going well.

However, I can't always tell when I'm hungry. I can tell when I'm FAMISHED,

which is where the stomach growling and complete empty feeling comes in. For me

though, eating at that point means going overboard and stuffing my face because

I'm literally starving.

Sometimes I get headaches or become irritable. But I don't always know if that's

hunger or just being cranky in general. I would like to not have to get

headaches to know I'm hungry!

Hi!

I keep almonds, walnuts, cottage cheese, hummus, cucumbers and carrots. Also, have you tried soy crisps? Very good. I love snacky stuff - big problem! ha.
