Hunger Pangs

Do you eat because you feel hunger pangs? Or because it's a mealtime and everybody must eat three meals a day to stay healthy (and fat!). If you genuinely want to cut down on your food intake, lose weight and maintain the size you want to be you'll have to learn to love hunger pangs. Hear your stomach growling and think "good, I'm burning off fat". Give it an apple and listen for the feedback. Is it growling for more or quiet for the moment?

If you listen for the food that hums to you and eat some, it will stop hunger pangs. Stop eating because society says we should eat 3 meals a day. That was true when you got up early to do heavy manual labor, not now with the sedentary lives most of us lead. A bowl of cereal for breakfast gives you what you need for a morning without hunger pangs. Fruit or salad for lunch will carry you through the afternoon. High energy cocktails will boost your energy if you start to flag.

If you are eating for the taste, eating two or three buttered croissants when one piece of wholemeal toast would have satisfied the same hunger, then you are on the road to being fat! Which is fine if that's your choice, go ahead and eat everything in sight, the creamier, fatter, sweeter the better. But take responsibility for your decision and don't complain when you get to a size that invites obesity related diseases. You, and no-one else, are totally responsible for whatever you weigh!
