subject: How You Can Avoid Feeling Hungry While Losing Weight [print this page] Diet plans are a dime a dozen and we are continually told that in order to lose weight you need to slash calories. They keep telling us it is based on calories in verses calories out plus some exercise thrown in will melt off the excess body fat. This is misleading and counterproductive as you will in fact hinder your weight loss success by slowing your metabolism (your body's engine). When you trigger this ancient survival 'starvation mode' which is a protective mechanism your body burns fewer calories and experiences extreme hunger signals and food cravings in an effort to get you to eat to avoid starvation. To burn fat, it is important to in fact have the opposite happen and increase your metabolic rate not decrease it.Moreover, restrictive food diets can leave you feeling really hungry, which can lead to binge eating and can result in yoyo dieting. If you feel hungry constantly it will not only slow your metabolism, it will also leave you drained of energy and make you feel moody and cranky. When you experience these negative effects if will likely cause you to give up and quit the diet and it is simply too hard to maintain. Then rebound mechanism kicks in and you are likely to regain any pounds that you have lost on the diet. The combination of hunger and frustration makes it easy to reach for unhealthy choices.Fortunately, there is a solution and a much better and easier way to lose that body fat. Firstly you need to get yourself healthy. Eat 4-6 small healthy meals per day each with a portion of protein. These meals throughout the day provide a number of benefits that will help you achieve your fitness and weight loss goals in the fastest way. The idea with eating this often helps maintain a balanced blood sugar (glucose) level, eliminating hunger pains as well as coaxing your body to give up its fat stores so you can reclaim you slim trim body. You can actually eat up to 50 per cent more calories without storing any of it as fat with small frequent meals. They will boost your metabolism and increase your energy levels so you can be active and burn off even more calories.The key is to center your diet on quality lean protein, vegetables, healthy fats and some low sugar fruits. To fully reap the benefit of this way of eating does require a bit of meal planning but it is well worth the effort. Your body will soon get into the habit of knowing when it will be supplied with nutrients and will not experience dreaded hunger attacks and cravings that can send even the most dedicated dieter to find extra food.So instead of a metabolism lowering diet we now have a metabolism boosting healthy eating plan. This will change your body from a fat storing one to a fat burning one which is precisely what is needed for natural and healthy weight loss.
