Something that has always helped me when I am really hungry and my stomach is particularly noisy. I like to think of it as my stomach eating itself. Sounds gross maybe, but I say growl stomach growl!
Love the idea! I don't get the growlies often (why, oh why, do they occur most often during staff meetings, lol???). Funny how they give up and go away after a bit - it's almost like they're testing to see if they can get you to eat off plan. My dog used to do the same thing.
Good for you if this helps you, but personally, I never allow myself to get to the point when my stomach is growling. When I reach that point, I would eat twice the amount of food that I normally do before my stomach would register that it's full.
My stomach tends to make growly noises a lot, even when I'm not hungry. Don't know why. It does it a lot less now that I eat better and on a more consistent schedule, but still does it. I often have to drink water to quiet it down.
One of the things I realized when I finally lost a bit of weight a few years ago was that I actually felt hungry. I never let myself feel hunger before that. It was like I was walking around 'full' for my adult life.
Why is it that your stomach ONLY growls when you are in a quiet room with people, usually trying to make a good impression.
And when mine growls it sounds like an alien being is about to burst forth through my stomach and everyone is looking at me like I made a sound that's very similar to stomach growling.
I don't allow myself to get starving or it's murder for my weight loss journey. I plan meals and snacks with lots of protein so I stay full longer. In the morning before breakfast though it's a growly beast.
