I'm trying to lose weight, but I keep going in the kitchen!?
Question:
Thank you all,
10 minutes from a honeybun.
Answers:
The fruit is OK. the sandwiches should be OK too, depending on how they are made.
What you could do is make a sammy out of lean meat, low fat cheese, your favorite vegis. Cut it into fourths. then when you crave it, eat only a fourth. Use only mustard to spread on the bread.
The pound cake can be treated the same way slice at least 12 slices from the cake. Cut those in half. Freeze them in individual servings. The when the craving hits take only one out of the freezer. You can eat some fruit with that.
The wheat thins can be separated in small servings. then allow only one serving.
Drink two big glasses of water with each snack. At least 16 ounces. That will do three things. Take the edge off of the hunger, help fill you up, and drinking water really does help squash cravings.
The key is to limit yourself to one of these servings a day, well except for the fruit.
Oh and don't let yourself become so hungry that you grab these foods for meal as a quick fix.
Eat healthy the rest of the time. I think you will be successful.
Is it because you dont feel full? Or because you're just bored? Alot of people eat out of boredom. Try and find something that you enjoy and keeps your attention.
try distracting yourself from taking a second trip back to the kitchen, do things such as reading, talking on the phone, writing in a diary/poem book, or chew gum. having fruit is not bad at all unless ur watching ur sugar intake but nonetheless fruits and veggies are the ones you should go for a second.
So do I. And I stock up my kitchen with the right foods so that I snack on healthy foods only. The trick is not to deprive yourself, otherwise you'll end up carving and bingeing.
I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs and gain better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs for 2 years.
Details such as my experience, types of foods and veggies to eat, healthy low fat snacks, meals, recipes, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog.
