Good Morning! As you stated above about hunger coming back intermittently, we were taught in my last diet gourp, that hunger comes around every 20 minutes or so; I find that drinking water and if the hunger is extreme, then I drink the milk. Have a blessed day.blueskighs wrote:Laff,
off and on I have experienced hunger on No S ... it probably has to do with many things, activity, hormones, etc. I just kind of refocus. I hears somewhere it will go away and then kind of come back intermittently until you address. I think this is really true for me for real physical hunger.
I am just starting to get better at adjusting my volumes up a little or down a little according to how hungry I am and about what time I estimate my next meal will be,

I think this is true and important to realize. Sure, sometimes there will be actual, physical hunger if you didn't budget your last meal quite right and it's been a while. But most of the time it's more like a nervous tick, something OCDish. We use food for so many things besides nourishment, that we have throughly confused hunger with a dozen other issues (stress, boredom, procrastination). The good news is that it doesn't take long to tease them apart again if you're strict about not indulging. Habit will make hunger hunger again -- you'll feel it much less often, less intensely, and when you do it will actually be a pleasant thing, kicking in right about when it's time to eat a meal (which you'll then enjoy that much more).But I do know it's more "mind-hunger" than "stomach-hunger".
