Do you wait till you’re Hungry to eat?

I know most of you wait till you are hungry till you eat anything. Unfortunately, this is a big mistake! What happens when your body is hungry? When your body is hungry it is craving anything it can get. Why? Because your blood sugar has dropped and it will crave something that is not healthy to bring that blood sugar back up. So that means you will be tempted to eat things that are high in sugar and high in fat. It means that going somewhere to buy that healthy lunch probably won’t happen. But that quick fast food drive thru will seem just perfect. So in simple terms you need to eat before your body gets hungry especially really hungry.

 Eating when you’re hungry will cause a few things to happen:

• You will make bad food choices
• You will eat too much of that food
• This will cause you to not eat again for 5-6 hours and start the process all over again.

 The best way to combat hunger and bad food choices is:

• Eating every 2-3 hours
• Eating a supportive meal (lean protein, fruit or vegetable, and a starchy carb)
• Eating natural non processed foods

So stop waiting till your hungry to eat! Look at the clock and start eating because it’s time to eat!

You can do it! You just have to plan ahead!
