I Am Always Hungry! What Can I Do?

It is the woeful cry of most dieters! I crave sweets or fried foods or carbohydrates! I am always hungry! I can eat day and night and I still seem to be hungry! Click Here!

What can I do? How can I stop eating? Click Here!

Well, if you seem to always be hungry, researchers have discovered one thing you can do to stop that hungry feeling. I am going to tell you what that is, but I will also mention that it does not help stop the stressful eating binge we sometimes fall victim to! If you eat because you are stressed that is an entirely different thing from always being hungry! Click Here!

Anyway, here is a fix for always being hungry! Eat more dietary fiber known as resistant starches! What are resistant starches, you ask. It is fiber that resists being digested. You feel full longer and therefore you eat less! Click Here!

If you load up your diet with these digestion resistant fibers, you will stay full longer, feel full longer and eat less in the long run! The results will be weight loss.

There are three kinds of fiber: soluble, insoluble and resistant starch: Click Here!

Soluble fiber like pectins, gums, mucillages, and some hemicellulose help lower blood cholesterol levels and control blood sugar.

Insoluble fiber such as cellulose, lignan and hemicellulose provide bulking and helps keep us "regular."

Resistant Starch is insoluble but is fermented like soluble fiber which gives us some of the health benefits of both, plus some unique advantages of its own. Click Here!

Since it is important you eat all three kinds of fiber, you probably would like to know where you find them. Here is a list:

Soluble fiber is found in oatmeal, barley and rye; beans, peas and lentils; fresh and dried fruits, and most vegetables.

Insoluble fiber is found in the skins and seeds of fruits and vegetables, in wheat bran and in whole grains, including popcorn.

Resistant starch is found in whole grains, seeds, legumes, under-ripe fruit, and is especially prevalent in cooked starches that have been cooled such as pasta salad, potato salad and sushi rice. It can also be found in packaged foods that contain selected new ingredients designed to provide resistant starch. Click Here!

Load up your diet with all of these types of fibers, especially those rich in resistant starches since it is an easy way to control both hunger and blood sugar levels.

So eat those carbohydrates that are resistant to digestion and you will find yourself full longer which means you are hungry less often and you lose weight! Click Here!

Have a great week and remember the power phrase for the week is "indigestible fiber" or "resistant Starch!"

What Must I do To Lose Weight?


You want to know what to do to lose weight? I guess you mean short of slitting my throat, what do I have to do to lose weight, right? Click Here!

Well, it won't do any good to slit your throat. All that does is let you bleed to death rather fast! You will still die fat! So we need another plan!

So here it is. A plan you can live through! The best 8 steps for losing weight. No blood shed! You can emerge a slimmer, trimmer You! Click Here!

* Number 1 Do not plan on doing a crash diet.
When you lose weight rapidly your body is only losing carbohydrates and water weight. The fat is still clinging to you! Your body thinks it is starving and it lowers your metabolic rate so you lose slower! It is harder for your body to burn one calorie and if you start eating again, your body stores the food and you end up fatter!

* Number 2 Do not eliminate foods from your diet. Substitute foods lower in calories.
Try substituting low calorie foods for some high calorie ones and see the difference. Experiment until you find something tasty and lower in calories that you can substitute for foods you normally eat.

* Number 3 Watch what you drink.
If you drink soda, stop it! Most people who drink sodas drink two or three in a day and that is about 360 calories for three. These are empty calories and have no nutritional value. Drink water or no calorie drinks instead. Click Here!

* Number 4 Eat a healthy diet and exercise. Exercise is the key to burning calories faster.
The American College of Sports Medicine recommends 30-45 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise daily. Get off the couch. Get up and get going. Start moving!

* Number 5 Make gradual changes. Don't try to make several major changes all at once.
Start by leaving a little food on your plate. You don't have to eat everything on your plate even though your mother told you to clean it. What little you leave on your plate you will never miss but it can help you to start eating less and losing weight. Click Here!

*Number 6 Do not overeat. Stop when you are full.
Slow down. Chew your food. Do not just throw the food into your mouth and immediately get a spoonful and throw it in your mouth also. Most of us eat like we are running a race to see who can clean their plate first. We don't even taste the food. We just inhale it!

* Number 7 Do not banish certain foods when you diet.

Don't mentally limit what you cannot eat. When you start a diet and mentally tell yourself that you can not eat any more Bluebell Homemade Vanilla ice cream, you immediately start craving it. It is better to tell yourself you will make a decision about whether or not to eat it when the cravings hit. This leaves it open to eat it or not, but you can make the decision then. It is a positive way to handle it and you are less likely to rebel against the diet. When we tell ourselves we can never have something, we immediately rebel against the diet and start feeling sorry for ourselves. Click Here!

We resent thinking we can never have a food we love!

* Number 8 Tell yourself you are on this diet for the long term!
Begin this diet with the attitude that you will be on the plan long term. Tell yourself this is a lifestyle change. This helps you mentally to accept that you are in the plan for the long haul. Once you accept this, you will be better off.

There you have it. If you just follow these rules, you can do whatever you set your mind to do. Just take the bull by the horns and get started today? Click Here!


Happy Dieting!
