“Thanks! I definitely need to just maintain. If I lost anymore I'd most likely disappear.”

“These six tips teach you to spot hunger and eat to stay satisfied--so you control calories and shed pounds without "dieting."



1. Learn to identify your spot on the hunger scale
Do you really know what hunger feels like? Before you can rein it in, you must learn to recognize the physical cues that signal a true need for nourishment. Prior to eating, use our hunger scale below to help figure out your true food needs:



Starving
An uncomfortable, empty feeling that may be accompanied by light-headedness or jitteriness caused by low blood sugar levels from lack of food. Binge risk: high.



Hungry
Your next meal is on your mind. If you don't eat within the hour, you enter dangerous "starving" territory.



Moderately hungry
Your stomach may be growling, and you're planning how you'll put an end to that nagging feeling. This is optimal eating time.



Satisfied
You're satiated, not full but not hungry either. You're relaxed and comfortable and can wait to nosh.



Full
If you're still eating, it's more out of momentum than actual hunger. Your belly feels slightly bloated, and the food does not taste as good as it did in the first few bites.



Stuffed
You feel uncomfortable and might even have mild heartburn from your stomach acids creeping back up into your esophagus.”

“I hit 40 lbs. lost today. I made it through Thanksgiving with a sensible meal of 1/2 bbq chicken (small chicken), a house salad and sauteed mushrooms. I should be hitting my 50 lbs mark right around christmas so that should be motivation enough to stay on track through the holidays.”

“so let's see, 17 pounds X 16oz/pound...nah, 442 ounces just doesn't have the same ring to it”

“How many kilograms is that?”

“Left 7 pounds on the JMT this summer and kept it off - woo hoo!”

“I haven't weighed myself this morning (gotta get that favorable post-poop weight ya know) but I've bounced this week. I'm at 43 pounds which should be more but I seem to have suffered from an influx of red meat and 90 proof liquor from staying at Sass and birch's last weekend.”

“influx of red meat...from...birch's last weekend.

I love it when you talk dirty to me.”

“I almost wrote injection of red meant in my diet but I ain't completely easy. LOL!”
