'Q' for Marcellabella or anyone else who knows....

I have been trying to eat better and I seem to be having one problem....
At dinner I have been having a grilled chix breats with a large helping of veggies and it really fills me up, but then an hour later I am STARVING....

What is the deal?
HELP!

You should try salad.

How many meals a day are you eating? It should be at least 4 (if your working out). Maybe your not getting all the protein/carbs/fats in your earlier meals, so by the end of the night you are starving.

Are you working with a nutiritonist, or according to some standard diet, ie. the zone, or any of those?

There could be a lot of reasons.

No...none of those....
Am not working out (yet) and am eating enough during the day...(I think)
I am not working with a nutritionist though....

Re: 'Q' for Marcellabella or anyone else who knows....

do you have your period? are you getting it?

Do you snack at all? have you tried drinking more water during and/or before your meals?

what about some brown rice with your meal? perhaps those 'good carbs' will fill you up some?

LOL.. Would you believe that EVERY month, the week right before my period, I eat EVERYTHING in site.. I also get soo bloated, that it's gross and I begin to have heart failure about having gained weight.then it comes and I don't eat anything... it's your d arn period girl!! lol

try drinking water before eating, it fills you up, so you won't eat as much..

I would add more fiber and maybe a sweet potato or plain baked potato, with MollyMcButter on it, a chicken breat /cutlet I believe is 3 points, not too much, a lot of water or seltzer- bubbles will fill u up , salad, vary the veggies,, and a healthy snack. Good luck with the weight loss.

Re: 'Q' for Marcellabella or anyone else who knows....

you know what else works
eating an apple about an hr before a meal
if you eat three apples or two a day its some kind of new diet too , I saw it on the news, it makes you eat less
I started it then stopped! lol
but think I will try it again
