Eating three regularly scheduled meals a day is another part of a healthy diet —a healthy Breakfast, a healthy lunch and a healthy dinner every day. While we know that this isn't always easy, we also know that eating on a schedule will help you avoid between-meal hunger, which often leads to overeating at the next meal. Here's a 1400-calorie sample one-day menu to use as a guide: Breakfast 1/2 cup oatmeal 1/2 cup fruit cocktail in juice 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt mixed with fruit Lunch 2 slices light whole wheat bread 2 oz turkey ham and 1 oz low-fat cheese 1/8 avocado, sliced alfalfa sprouts 1 tsp mayonnaise 1/2 cup baby carrots 2 Tbsp nonfat dressing for dipping 1 apple Dinner 4 oz chicken leg, no skin, baked 1 cup whole wheat Pasta 4 Tbsp low-fat vinaigrette, 2 for marinade and 2 to toss with pasta (add extra vinegar, lemon juice or Water as needed) 1 cup broccoli and 1 cup zucchini, steamed and tossed with pasta 8 oz. 1% milk Snack 1 cup cantaloupe melon 1/4 cup cottage cheese OR 8 oz skim milk

i said , if you cannot drink pure Water , you can opt for fruits, it means not to drink just juice. i mean some of the water and also juice . Water is normally necessary .

A good figure that specifically states the amount of Water you should intake on a daily basis is an ounce for every 2 pounds of body weight. A person with an average body size should devour about 64 ounces daily- that means about eight glasses capable of holding 8 ounces of water each. If you are on a physical work out mode, you should drink water before during and after the hours of exercise. And if you are on a special diet to lose weight, then it is absolutely necessary that you drink a lot of water throughout the day, without any exception. You must not break this rule, since the water will keep you on your balanced toes, or else you will weaken so as to not be able to stand under all the pressure of daily hassles any more. If you cannot drink pure water, you can opt for fruits. Fruits are high in water content, and they also contain a lot of useful Vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that can help you to gain a lot of vital energy in life. You can also drink the fruit juice which will satisfy your thirst and also offer the water that your body needs desperately at all times.

sorry but im not a bandster ,, I found this article in a magazine, and I wanted to share it here ..

Why do we eat? The most basic reason is hunger, however with the growing rate of obesity this shows us that people eat for more reasons than just hunger. People eat out of boredom, loneliness, hunger, or deprivation. All of which can lead to excessive overeating and added weight gain. By choosing the right foods to eat when you are actually hungry you can limit cravings to eat for these other reasons. Superfoods contain essential nutrients that the body needs to properly function. When the body is functioning optimally it will speed up your metabolism, boosting calorie burning, making it easier to lose weight. Superfoods contain Fiber, Protein, Vitamins, and minerals, which play a role in how your body responds to calorie absorption and fat cells. Superfoods tend to be lower in calories and take the body longer to digest. This leaves you feeling fuller for longer, giving you less reasons to eat unneeded calories. They also provide the body with a steady flow of energy, keeping the metabolism working to burn more calories. By adding these foods into your Breakfast, lunch, dinner and Snacks you can lose weight and feel great. -Apples- Apples are great for weight loss. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Apples are low in calories, low in sodium and high in fiber, which keeps the body feeling full while providing a stable source of energy. -Lentils- These small legumes pack a real big punch against weight gain. Lentils are high in folic acid, Iron, magnesium, fiber and protein. Lentils also contain resistant starch which shrinks fat cells; smaller fat cells means less fat. -Eggs- Although most people only eat them for breakfast, eggs are a great food for weight loss. High in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and Proteins, eggs help to build muscle, which in turn helps to burn fat. -Yogurt- Yogurt is a healthy combination of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This combination staves off hunger by keeping blood sugar levels steady. Yogurt also contains a healthy dose of Calcium. Calcium signals fat cells to stop pumping out cortisol. -Sweet Potatoes- Sweet potatoes unlike most other vegetables are higher in calorie content but are worth all of them. Sweet potatoes contain resistant starch, which produces compounds to signal to the brain to stop eating. The bulk in sweet potatoes fills the stomach so you feel full. Carotenoids in sweet potatoes stabilize blood sugar levels and lowers insulin resistance. Kiwi- Although peculiar in size, shape, color and taste, this small fruit is loaded with nutrients. Kiwis are high in fiber, both soluble and insoluble, low in calories and high in Vitamin C.

It can be because you eat very fast. Try to eat in small morsels and eat slowly. Take at least 20 minutes to finish your meal, because that is the time taken for your stomach to signal your brain that it is full. On top of that don't drink water or any fluids with your meal. They cause digestive problems. Fruit remain in your stomach for about 30 mins, and food high in protein stays for about 4 hours, so your stomach can't go rumbling in that time. Drinking water might cause problems during this process, as water quickly passes to the intestines. Follow these steps, and you might solve your hunger problem.

You can do it .. (Y) Good Luck =)
