It's not about real hunger, when the body needs another meal, but about imaginary hunger - in this case, you just want to eat something tasty. So how do you deal with this obsessive sensation?
Instructions
Step 1
Drink a glass of water
The easiest way to trick your stomach is to drink half or a whole glass of water. By the way, this technique is widely used by yogis. If after drinking the liquid you want to eat much less, then lunch time has not come yet.
Step 2
Take a bath
A warm bath can help you relax, which in turn reduces your appetite and distracts you from obsessive thoughts about food.
Step 3
Do your exercises
A simple warm-up and a few exercises can be great distractions. This also includes the stress in the gym.
Step 4
Brush your teeth
Sometimes an overwhelming urge to eat something can completely discourage the minty taste of toothpaste in your mouth.
Step 5
Eat on a schedule
If you eat small meals every 2-3 hours 5 times a day, then the likelihood of obsessive hunger is significantly reduced.
Step 6
Have a hearty breakfast
Don't skip your morning meal. Breakfast should be about 1/3 of the calorie intake of the daily diet, be tasty and nutritious. At the same time, ham sandwiches or omelette for breakfast are much preferable to low-fat yogurt, which will not satisfy you.
Step 7
Snack right
Knowing you have a weakness for snacks, be sure to keep healthy products in the kitchen: fresh fruits, berries, fitness bread made from wholemeal flour, low-fat natural yogurt.
Step 8
Find yourself a hobby
It's no secret that an interesting activity is a great distraction from thinking about food - it can be handicrafts, drawing or assembling puzzles.
