How to avoid feeling hungry all the time?

[Soulja Girl]

^Hehe, sometimes I eat too much which scares me. :X

I'm not sure, but there's a Hadith or somefin which says that when you eat more than you have to, it's disliked by Allah... :embarrass

:wa:

 

[Faye]

I don't really eat at proper times, but only when I'm hungry, so I end up eating a lot when I'm bored or have nothing too do. When I'm busy, I skip a lot of meals and get very thin very fast. Then if I don't start paying attention to mealtimes, I get sick.:unhappy:

 

[Snowflake]

The first thing to do is start by saying Bismillah before you begin eating, or the shaytaan eats with you. Secondly, drink a glass of water before every meal.

The rest I shall post later inshaAllah.

I'm so jealous of those who don't feel like eating because i feel like eating all the time... and sometimes i think i over indulge.

I monitor my calories intake everyday...and yeah... most of the times it is more than 1200kcal. I just couldn't maintain my calories intake :heated:


Please share your tips on how you can eat less but at the same time not feeling hungry.

imsad help! hew

Assalmu Alikum

1. Good breakfast: - you will less likely to feel hungry if you have a proper breakfast. Porridge is really good for you in the morning. I have porridge, fruit and drink only glass of water. I have breakfast 6am and I never feel hungry 1pm. During that period have a bottle of water with you and drink reasonable amount of water if you feel hungry.

2. Find something to do: - I feel less hungry if I'm doing something or working. When my mom gets too tired I do all the remaining housework for her. I also read books and exercise (boxing). As long as you keep busy, less likely to feel hungry.

3. Water: - during the day drink reasonable amount of water. I know some people who drink too much water. Don't drink fizzy drinks, they make you thirstier.

4. Weight: - if you’re worried about your weight, I would try to worry less about it. I heard that you can actually gain weight if you worry too much about gaining weight. Try to exercise it, should burn off some calories. Before I sleep I do 20 minutes of Push ups (I sometimes forget and go to sleep). Don't eat after 8PM.

Okay this is what I do and it works for me. I'm not sure if it might work for you but I would structure my day. So I would make some sort of plan and stick with it. Plan what you are going to eat and you should be fine. Keep yourself busy and have a good breakfast.

Oh I would like to add chewing gum helps too. =)

Hope this helps.

She forgot how to, apparently.

The worst vessel you can fill is your stomach.

Pakistani/Indian food. Very oily, fattening and tasty. You can get delicious indian food in egypt mashaAllaah.

For Ramadan especially, I'd stick with protein.. someone else here suggested adding liquid to your meals, and that is actually quite wise especially in Ramadan...

I personally stick with these bars and shakes..

they taste excellent, they have a sustained release, and with 18 grams of protein, you can't go wrong.. I also supplement them with

a bar and a drink... is excellent if you are in survival mode.. whenever I had an exam or had to pull many hours of work without time for sit down dinner, that is all I lived on..

obviously you don't want to overload on proteins so you should balance that with carbs...

Oooh, i get hungry all the time too. imsad It's not fun because after all that junk food, I get mad at myself, lol. :hmm:

Anyways, to keep yourself full most of the time, or not starve the whole day, try to eat a lot of fruits. Since fruits are mainly water, like watermelon, melon, etc, they'll keep you full and it's healthy as well.
My mom usually makes watermelon juice, just by blending cut up watermelon. [Or i think that's how she makes it..]
Tastes great and, i don't go hungry until dinner time. ^__^

 

[markislam]

is this for ramadan ? that you feel hungry ?

 

[Ansariyah]

Raisins are good for u, n they taste guud.

I can stay without food for a long time, n not get hungry. high Metabolism i guess.

Sorry for not able to reply earlier... i'm too busy taking care of my sick children and myself...lol. . is nice to see lots of reply here in this thread

The truth is i'm learning to be obsessed with this calorie counting thing...so every thing that i ate i wrote it down...and i realised that is is more than 1200 (well...most of the time). At first, i was going to trick myself so i target my calorie intake should be lower than 700kcal but...that is soooooooooooo hard.

For example, like sis skye post. one bar is already 240 calories...and i can only eat 5 bar per day to make sure that it is lower than 1200 calories :uuh: i will sure be starving :hiding:

It is true that i should eat lots of fibres...but then, i need to go to the market every week...and i can't commit that. My hubby will go only when i go with him :hmm:

and about the oats... i'm a bit allergic to that. huhuhu.

I try to burn up my calories...when i've the time :hiding:

The thing (the main problem) is to discipline myself, to stock up the refrigerator with super healthy food, to know my food proportion (yeah...sometimes when its delicious i ate more than it should be), to have time for exercises and etc.

and yeah... i'm one of those small built asian lady but not slim...huhuhu. I'm still in healthy weight range... 'but' on the upper scale

I try my best not to be obsessed with weight stuffs (for me it is better to be happy than to think too much on reducing my weight)... but it is important for me to eat low calorie so i'll get motivated to choose a much healthier food.

I probably need more time to have a better relationship with food...huhuhu probably two years from now...huhuhu

Do you get any pain in stomach (hunger pangs) that goes away as soon as you eat? Do u often get up at mid-night & feel hungry? If so you might have [U%

since your calories are coming from protein (with the atkin diet) and not carbs, you should actually be sustained for a very long time on one bar which has 18 grams of protein.. it is very filling.. you won't simply feel a satisfaction for an hr and then be hungry later.. it has a sustained release rather than a peak and a decline...

that is in fact why I have recommended it with the shakes.. although again protein overload in and of itself isn't without its problems. (which are too expansive for me to get into at 2:30 am)

I simply recommend the atkin type diet for Ramadan, it doesn't have to be a bar, and a shake, but you can try eggs or beans, dates are also excellent.


and Allah swt knows best..

The truth i don't really like the atkin diets...hehehe. i love to eat proteins but eating those diet bars don't really work for me. I've tried that.

Eggs (even it is not easy to get those low-fat eggs hehe) and dates are already in my diets.

Thank you all for the advice.

p/s:- sometimes i don't slow down when i'm eating...and thats encourage my brain to think that i'm still not full. :hmm: another problem of relationship with food.

Eat healthy, small and frequently for 6 days. Keep away from ALL junk and higher sugar, salt and calorie content for 6 days and then reward yourself on the 7th day for doing so. Use the 7th day to dulge into your favourite crap. Then resume your diet the following day for another 6 days.

 

[abu_musab461]

this body is a trust (amana) from Allah for which we have to be accountable to Allah.

Take care of it.
