Please share your tips for battling head hunger.

Altho I would hardly call 1400 calories a "binge"...mainly because I average 1200 per day and still lose nicely...the question of head hunger is a tough one...I agree with laurend...a big help is to not let that first sign of hunger go by unadressed. When I let myself get too hungry, it's not a good thing...I eat too much, too fast, get pain, pb, and it's just an ugly ordeal. Then, sometimes I have a while before my lunch break, yet get hungry...I feel guilty if I eat before "the appointed time", but now I've given myself permission to address my hunger and eat something small and nutritious at the first sign. Then I'm less likely to binge on junk food.< /p>

When I am having this problem, I get on this forum and slowly I'm not in that state of mind to eat. I feel inspired to be my best!!!! HANG IN THERE

If I've really got the munchies, a craving for something, I go with it. Sometimes, trying to hold out just means you end up eating even more as you eat 40 things other than what it was you wanted in the first place.

Most times, I get peckish and suffer head hunger in the afternoon, I try to time my runs for then. A good long run, particularly on a day like today where its 37 degress celcius in melbourne, kills my appetite.

But running does more than that, it burns lots of energy which means that I can eat 1400 calories a day and lose weight and eat 1800 and maintain. So I dont get that much head hunger because I can eat quite a lot of food, 3 meals, 2 Snacks. And I dont need to be very tight to keep my appetite low enough to keep me under 1000 calories, so I can eat most foods which means I dont do without much.

Things like chocolate, I get cravings for and sometimes you just have to ride it out. Other times I feel I can afford to indulge it like I said above.

Probably good luck to a large degree, I seem to have been able to lose on much higher calories than many others that exercise as much as I do.

My too bits,

I tend to crave sweets at night, I think because I'll off work and kinda bored. So, I started working out at night instead of the morning and I brush my teeth after eating. These things help me.
