Hello Everyone,
I have been trying to diet for a while now, but have always used the "I will start next week" excuse.
This past week I have started my diet and exercise regime. I am taking it slow by eating a healthy breakfast, snack in the morning, lunch, snack in the afternoon, and dinner. Monday and Tuesday I did really well, but there is a reoccurring issue that I will bring up in a minute. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday I did well for breakfast and lunch but not dinner (I cheated).
The problem I have that caused me to cheat: I am starving!!! I have done a lot of research to curve the hunger. I have tried eating a lot of high fiber foods, large breakfast (400 calories and full of fiber), very large lunches with lots of fiber and low calories, drinking tons of water, walking/exercising to help with pangs, and eating lean protein; however I am still hungry. The only time that I am not hungry was after I cheated on Wednesday and Thursday night when I had fast food for dinner. I don't know if it's the sat fat or oil that fills me up, but I do not know what to do! I even tried taking Omega Lean (an appetite suppressant) to help keep me full. I usually eat around 9:00 AM, and usually am fine when I get to lunch. I am just hungry enough. I usually eat at 1:30 PM. The time I usually get REALLY hungry is almost immediately after lunch at 3:00-4:00 PM. I will eat a snack in hopes of filling me up. The other day I had 2 large carrots and an apple at the same time to help make it to dinner but it didn't help. When I do have the willpower to make it home to eat healthy, I eat dinner around 6:00 PM and am hungry all night until I go to sleep.
If anyone can give me some advice I would really appreciate it. I want to be healthy, and I know how to be healthy. I know what to eat, how often to eat but I am still starving.
Thanks
Jared Bagnall
