If you have ever tried to lose weight, you are probably familiar with the feeling of going hungry. Often, when someone wants to lose weight, they immediately begin going hungry. And while a key to losing weight is generally to consume fewer calories, it is no fun to be hungry.
But not only is going hungry no fun, it is also not practical over the long haul. You can only live with hunger pains for so long. After a while, you will likely grow tired of being miserably hungry and just give up altogether. Thankfully, there is another solution. You just need to know which foods to eat when you get hungry.
For example, if you fill your stomach with 400 calories of chicken, you will have barely eaten any and still feel hungry. But if you fill your stomach up with 400 calories of high fiber, dense plant foods, you can eat much more food! For example, four cups of romaine lettuce only contains 40 calories! Think of how full you would feel if you ate that much romaine lettuce!
Now of course you will need to eat other things than just raw veggies, but you will still have calories left over in your eating plan to go ahead and eat some other foods like nuts, beans and whole grains. Those high fiber foods are going to take up a lot of room in your stomach and stay there a while too, because your body takes longer to digest fiber than it does some other foods.
The result? More food, less calories, less hunger, more weight loss! You see, the longer you are full and the more satisfied you feel, few instances of 'cheating' you will have to deal with. You will have more will power available if you feel comfortably full.
Keep this tip in mind the next time you feel hungry. Try to find some low calorie, high density foods to fill up on. Keep them in your office, car and kitchen at home. You will find that losing weight gets a whole lot easier as a result!
