The hunger that never ends firstly is psychological and secondarily is physiologinal(hormonal). Do not stay at home for too long or at least do not stay without doing something(except watching tv!!!).Go outside with friends or/and do things that entertain(and educate you in the same time:) ) you.Once you have your mind away from food you will not feel hunrgy. Eat your meals with a scheduled timing, do not wait to get hungry to eat. If you have sometimes during the day that you get more hungry for physiological reasons then program to eat more during those.For example after my workout I get extremely hungry.My post workout shake is 300kcal and my my post workout meal sometimes can reach 800kcal sometimes. 1100kcal in less than 2 hours. To balance this some of my previous or next meals will be much more light.

I think having uneven meals(but still many(5-7 a day) is better and more realistic than having 6 even meals, since all hours in the day are not the same.It could be a good way to 'kill' that hunger.It works for me at least...What do you think?

Yes I agree that having 5-7 smaller meas a day is better but like you I dont make them all even as I would find it difficult to save enough protein for post workout if they were. I would ideally like to get some protein in post post workout so the meal after my post workout shake but I dont have enough protein in my diet, I'm on 157g of protein per day so it's hard to spread it out.

I've been experimenting with Michelle's hypothesis that non-carby fiber really helps the feeling of fullness, and she's totally right. I had a 3-egg omelette this morning with spinach, green peppers, celery, and bacon bits, and I found it very hard to put down my morning snack 3 hours later because I simply wasn't hungry at all anymore.

Score one for the Spinach Assassin.

There are some foods that make you feel full for longer. One of those(and the best I think) are of course veggies. Nuts are good also(as a snack). The most feeling food I have ever eaten is the liver. I don't know why if you eat liver you aren't going to get hunrgy for the rest of the day. You can eat liver in the morning and feel it in your stomach in the night-12 hours later. Has anyone eaten liver?

Unless you get out of control with the portions, like I do. I will easily eat 600+ calories & I don't know why-- it's not like I was ever really big on them before LC. Just one of those things, I guess. I will eat them until I am sick, they are not filling to me at all. So they are for occasional use only to spruce up other high-volume, low-calorie food, never eaten on their own.

I haven't for quite some time, but that's because I like it chicken-fried. I don't know if I would like it any other way. I hypothesize it leaves you feeling full because of its high vitamin/mineral content. Like I said earlier, if you're not meeting your needs, your body will respond with hunger. I guess if you are meeting them, sometimes your body responds by feeling full. You just have to pay attention to the cues instead of eating mindlessly.

Ah, there is something called the Fullness Factor on the nutritiondata.com

check it sometime. http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/vege ... cts/2477/2

NUTRITIONAL TARGET MAP™ The Nutritional Target Map™ allows you to see at a glance how foods line up with your nutritional and weight-management goals. The closer a food is to the right edge of the map, the more essential nutrients per calorie it contains. For a more nutritious diet, select foods that fall on the right half of the map.

The closer a food is to the top edge of the map, the more likely it is to fill you up with fewer calories. If you want to restrict your caloric intake without feeling hungry, choose foods from the top half of the map.

Foods that are close to the bottom edge are more calorie-dense. If you want to increase your calorie intake without getting too full, choose foods from the bottom half of the map.

If you are used to eating traditional "square meals" like most people, you will find that many diets do not make you feel as full because you are not throwing terrible food combinations into your stomach that just sit in your belly for extended periods of time while your digestive enzymes work to move it all out. Many confuse that bloated type feeling when your stomach gets backed up with how you are supposed to feel when you are full because its just how most of us have eaten for many years.

For example I can chomp down pounds of steak by itself no problem, but add any carb into the mix, and I'll get halted in my tracks. The typical tough guy "meat and potatoes" type of meal is very filling mostly because it is a terrible food combination for your stomach to have to digest.

I've noticed that in changing my diet to restrict carbs more I am eating food combinations that move more smoothly through the digestive system so I don't typically get that really bloated feeling of fullness, I'm not just not hungry anymore.
