Hunger – one of the body’s strongest and most beneficial stimuli – helps insure that
you consume enough calories for the needs. However, it also works against you when
you're trying to lose weight. You could easily lose weight just by eating less, but the
less that you eat or the longer you postpone eating, the hungrier you become, and
the longer it takes your hunger to subside once you do begin to eat. So the hungrier
you are, the more likely it is that you'll overeat, consuming extra Calories that can
quickly slow or reverse your weight loss.
As you know, the only way to end hunger is to eat. Eating provides satiety - a
pleasant feeling of fullness and the corresponding reduction of hunger. But did you
also know that some foods are better than others for satisfying your hunger? A baked
potato, for example, will probably "fill you up" much better than a serving of candy
that has the same number of Calories.
