Real hunger comes on slowly, not all of a sudden. Pay attention to your body and learn your signs of true hunger.
Eat 5-6 small, healthy, balanced meals. Spacing out your meals can help you manage your hunger and make you less likely to overeat at the next meal.
Eat s-l-o-w-l-y . Actually taste what you eat.
Eat a filling, high-fiber foods such as vegetables, cereals, whole-grain bread, or fruit.
Cravings are often confused with hunger. A craving is an intense desire for a specific food.
Cravings often don’t last that long. Try to wait out a craving. Cravings tend to be more emotional than physical. You can manage cravings by distracting yourself. Find something else to do or think about besides eating. Take a short walk or talk with a friend.
If the craving doesn’t go away, have just a little bite of what you’re craving and savor it For example, let a little piece of chocolate melt in your mouth rather than eating a whole candy bar.
