Hunger Games: I know you are Hungry!
Feeling hungry can be tough to deal with, especially if you’re trying to eat less or avoid snacking. Here are some quick tips to help you feel less hungry:
### Immediate Tips
1. **Drink Water:** Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger. Try drinking a big glass of water and wait 10–15 minutes.
2. **Eat Fiber or Protein:** If you need to eat, choose something filling like an apple, a handful of nuts, or Greek yogurt. Protein and fiber keep you full longer.
3. **Distract Yourself:** Step away from the kitchen! Go for a walk, call a friend, or do something that keeps your mind off food.
4. **Chew Gum or Brush Teeth:** The flavor can help reduce cravings and signal to your brain that you’re done eating.
5. **Avoid Food Cues:** Stay away from the kitchen, food ads, and social media food photos.
### Longer-Term Strategies
- **Eat Regular Meals:** Don’t skip meals—this can make you even hungrier later.
- **Get Enough Sleep:** Being tired increases hunger hormones.
- **Manage Stress:** Stress can trigger cravings for comfort foods.
