I do high impact aerobics and i walk alot.  I am so much more hungry, it seems that i cant get full.  If i dont eat i get really weak.  I dont eat fast food, or junk but im tired of eating.  I also drink lots of water.  I have to eat because i stand all day long.  What can I do so i dont have that starving feeling?

I am 25 years old and weigh 200 lbs. That may seem insignificant, but i was an offensive lineman When I played football a few years ago and back then I weighed close to 300 lbs. I soon found out that being that heavy made u a social pariah of sorts and set out to lose weight. The method that worked for me (and might work for you) was not a diet at all. It was merely a time-control thing. Every 3 hours you ate. And every 6 hours you ate a meal. You go to sleep at the same time  every night and what happens is that you set a program for your metabolism so that, given time, your body realizes when its time to start digesting the food. Even with my own personal experience I am not an expert on the subject. I suggest that you look up the guy who did '8 minute abs' I got the gist of the idea from him.

really fast? lower your salt intake, water follows salt, if you dont eat salt your body wont absorb a ton of water.\n\nIf you want to loose it and keep it off it will take a little bit of time.  Look into joining a local YMCA.  Just run/walk a couple miles on a treadmill 3 times a week.  If you are dedicated you would take it off in a month.  Just cut out junk foods, especially late at night.  If you get hungry late at night eat fruit.  If you like candy/sweets, eat grapes! I love them they are awesome.\n\nJust be dedicated and you can do it!!  :)\n\nO YEA I FORGOT!!!  Drink a whole glass of water 10-15 minutes before you eat.  You will get full a lot faster.  If you feel like a snack, drink the water, wait 15 minutes, you might not actually want the snack.  A lot of the time people confuses dehydration for hungry, they need more water, but your mind interpretes the signals as hunger.

What worked for me was drinking more water. Sometimes it seemed like I was hungry, but my body wanted water, not food. Instead of just plain water I'd make some Crystal light or sugarless Kool aid also. (just water gets "boring" after a while!)

do not eat  too few calories,  you need to find that balance-your  body  is built for  survival, so if you starve  it,  it will  adjust  to  run  on  less and less. You won't necessarily pass  out or  not be able  to push through exercise, you will  just start needing  like nothing to  live on. Eventually you'll  crash might not  be  for  a  good while, but you will either out of the blue end up  in a hospital  or something  and have  heart and or brain damage, or  go  crazy and  start eating normal. If  you  don't  end up damaged/dead  and eat  normal,  your body will  store everything you eat and  gain it all back. It happened to me I am speaking  only of experience. I  was  able  to run and  be  quite underweight, but then I  couldnt do  it any  more. I was miserable,  irritable,  people  worried  about  me.   I  started eating more  and  it  magically appeared  back, and  i was not eating much to gain  so  quickly,  I'd  just made  my body think it was  in a  starvation  and  needed to  adjust  to survive. Don't listen to people  that tell you  to do  that.  You'll  be  sorry in the  end.

Believe it or not, do more walking or be active with exercise of some sort. This increases your metabolism, which aids in burning fat, and also, causes you to be more thirsty...This is the main part...drink lots of water. It's not only good for helping you feel more full, but it also gives your complexion a healthy glow. If you are well hydrated, your skin is healthy too. \n\nI haven't tried this yet, but I heard this on the radio the other day. (So in turn, I've been reading up on it.) A fitness expert was the guest on a program I was listening to, and he said that MILK helps very well. Either Skim or 2% milk. He said that if you have 8oz. of milk with each meal, whether it is used on your cereal or drank with your lunch and dinner, it will help you to feel full much longer. It's also very healthy, because you get the benefit of the calcium, which strengthens your bones and teeth. Also, he mentioned that a baked potato is soooo good for your body. It has so many good minerals, and is very filling. (When dieting, I've always thought that starches like potatoes and pasta were taboo, but I found out different!) I hope this helps! I've lost 85 lbs. since Sept 1, 2005, and have struggled with every pound I've lost. I plan to impliment these strategies in my diet until I reach my goal. Keep in touch and maybe we can keep each other on track!! My e-mail address is my nickname @yahoo.com.

Your age is a tough passage in terms of social and psychological orientation. \n\nYou might feel some kind of stress and try to relieve it with food. \n\nThere are much worse cases than the amount you described here.\n\nAlso sodas usually make you want to eat more. \n\nI would reccomend trying to relax and feel good about yourself. \n\nDon't question eating too much though you may try slightly lowering the amount you eat just a bit, by giving a couple min breaks and check if you're still hungry and hold yourself. Having fun with your ability to control your apetite. \n\nThe point here is to see that you are able to control yourself without being a control freak ABOUT yourself.\n\nIf you can't, don't worry. You're not weak. You can try next time\n\nCheers\n\nPS: and also such food elevates your blood sugar level fast and it falls back fast too, so you feel hungry again.\n\nChips, non wholegrain bagels, white bread, white pasta, white rice, potatoes, candy (anything with glucose in it) make your blood sugar level go high fast. \n\nSo try eating protein, salad, veggies or whole grain products before eating candy.\n\nGood luck

The quickest way is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohal, and sodas.\n\nEat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.\n\nIn moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)\n\nPractice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.\n\nEat 5 times a day. A small breakfast. A mid-morning snack, such as an apple. A small lunch. A mid-afternoon snack, such as carrots. A lite dinner. Do not eat any later than 7pm (6pm is better.)\n\nGo exercise for at least an hour a day, incorporating weight training. Weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat. You get the idea. It also gives tone and definition.\n\nGood luck!!

Sometimes we mistake thirst for hunger. You might not be getting enough hydration during or after your workout. Next time you feel hungry before lunch, drink a glass of water before you eat something

Try to identify WHY you are binging-- comfort? stress? boredom? \nI think eating about 5 small meals throughout the day helps out a lot!\nDrink lots of water throughout the day- especially before meals. When you're hungry, drink a glass and wait 10 minutes.\nEat sloooowly... It takes 20 minutes for your stomach to feel full, no matter how much you ate\nAlso, NOT buying any extra food to munch on helps.\nPerhaps a visit to a nutritionist would help!

yes, thats your body's way of saying it needs more complex carbs and proteins (especially if you have started more muscle strengthening workouts)  to help rebuild damaged muscle tissue and to provide your metabolism with more carbs to burn in order to keep your more active lifestyle going.  the extra hunger you're feeling is a good thing.  just be sure you eat more protein  for muscle rebuilding and complex carbs (spaghetti, fish, whole grain wheat products, etc.)  for fuel for your metabolism.  and instead of having 3 huge meals a day, make it 6 small ones.  make 3 actual meals, and the other three kind of like in-between meal snacks (like a smoothie or a protien bar).  that extra hunger isn't a craving, your body is telling you to keep up the healthy lifestyle you've adopted.  satisfy your extra hunger with healthy foods and you'll see great results in no time.  keep up the effort and hard work!

Sometimes it can be what you are eating that can make you feel tired.  Sugar and processed foods can do that.  You should do about 4 days cardio and 2-3 days weights.  Do weights after cardio and make sure you take a high quality protein shake after your workouts to help rebuid your muscle.  I lost 54 lbs and got in great shape!  Check out my before and after pic here http://www.healthandstrength.net\n\nHere is what I did, you can use these ideas, they are what helped me make the change you see in my picture\n1. NEVER EVER ate sugar. It's a poison that makes us older, sicker, fatter and tired...all things we dont want. Seriously, sugar is the one who does the dirty work in weight gain. Stop eating it all together. You can see my list of ingredients to avoid when shopping here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweeka.htm...\n2. Drink ALOT of water. 2-3 liters a day. The more the merrier!  We need about half our body weight in ounces JUST for regular body functions!  When you feel thirsty, that means you are already dehydrated and lose brain function.  Water flushes toxins from your fat cells and keeps you younger.\n3. Exercise!!! So very important. Here http://www.healthandstrength.net/abexe.htm... are my favorite ab exercises.  I also do cardio 4-5 days a week for about 30 minutes a time.\n4. Eat less. How many calories do you think is in that burger or that plate of fries or in that handful of chips. What about overfilling our plates? If you go here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweek.htm... I wrote something about saving on calories and losing weight.\n5. Go to sleep before 10pm. Your body starts repairing and rebuilding and speeding up weight loss while you sleep only if you sleep at about 10pm. If you are awake and go to bed at 12, you miss out on that very important time. I have a good article on my site here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweekb.htm that talks about the importance of sleep and how STRESS can make actually make you fatter.\n6. BE POSITIVE. Be thankful every day and love yourself\n7. BE CONSISTANT! That I think is the KEY to losing weight. So what if you went a week and only lost a pound...or didnt lose any...KEEP going. DON'T stop. This is a lifelong commitment, so stick to it and one day you will open your eyes and need a new wardrobe!\n8. Eat more veggies and skinny friendly foods. I have my list of my top ten foods that I ate to lost weight here http://www.healthandstrength.net/tenfoods.htm...\n80% veggies at every meal including breakfast will keep you young and help you lose weight. \n9. Do the little things that count!  Check out 10 cool ideas that you can do to help boost your calorie burn throught the day here: 1. NEVER EVER ate sugar.

Maybe you're taking in more calories than you need. I don't know how many you're currently getting, but some people can take in hundreds more than they need (and think that they need it). My weight maintains on about 1300 a day, if I exercise. You can check out your own needs on nutritiondata.com. Also make sure you're portioning foods correctly for the calorie count, not just based on what you think should be a serving. And eat real foods, not junk like crackers, bagels, pizza and such (I'm sure you're not if you said you're "eating well", but still). Eat more veggies and whole grains like oatmeal. Also cut out things like animal products and high-fat foods (even if they seem like they're healthy, like nuts and olives).\n\nAnd in truth, an extremely small part of the population have a small metabolism, and heavier people's metab's tend to be even higher than average. If you're still in doubt, talk to a doctor, but try diet again with a more ordered, stricter approach. And try to exercise at least an hour a day at a moderate to high intensity. Also try strength training; extra muscle really helps to burn off body fat.

I am in the same predicament you are in. My doctor is telling me stuff I already know and i have no will power. like tonight i ate 3 bags of m&ms and a king sized twix but i will start tomorrow a new and try not to eat that crap.  what I do is excersice with a friend always because if I didnt i would do it. Its motivation. and I use a smaller plate so it can look full for the eyes and when I cook I only cook enough for 1 serving so when I want some more its none so I have to drink water to get full. Yeah, sometimes I dont always follow my rules but I wake up everyday and try again and harder. I havent weighed myself in a while because when i do and see that I have lost weight, my mind goes " what are you doing? lets eat more" and i gain it back but the best thing is to Wake up everyday and start brand new each day. if you break a day, its ok, try again. What I have learned is to not stop eating what you eat(as long if its not too much junk)just eat less of it. and excercise like crazy. oh, I also have been eating alot of fruits. I really dont like all the fruit thats available to me locally but i eat what i like apples, oranges, grapes, watermelon, strawberries, i just eat a different one a day.its called food rotating. Lucky with my job, one of my clients love to walk so 2 days out the week i have a good walk and my other client has to excercise more, so i motivate her by excercising with her and get strength training incorparated into those days. oh, i try to eat at least 6 times a day. breakfast lunch and dinner and 3 snacks but i dont always succeed, but i am losing weight, something i am doing is right because i can feel it in my feet and legs and sides where my bra is. hey, if you want a person to talk to about your days to give you motivation to keep trying im here for you sweety. so good luck. if you want to eat fast foods, try nuggets instead of burgers. and eat tacos. the whole point is to burn more calories than  you eat. good luck.

It sounds like you might have some sort of emotional problem and that food is your escape. Try going to counseling. \nIf this is not the case, them maybe you need a hobby since all you do is think about food. You definitely need to change your mentality about working out. \nYou try Weight Watchers you might enjoy that programs since you are allowed to eat what you want and your not deprived. \n\nGood Luck & Stay Strong.

You're probably not getting enough of what your body needs to feel fuller!!! Like more fiber, and vegetables, and lean meat for protein!!!  And eating 6 smaller meals a day with a fruit like (apple) in between these meals really helps curb hunger and in a healthy way!!!

I was like that this week, just build up by eating and you will be back to normal within a day or 2.  It worked for me.  It's probably because your stomach doesn't expand doesn't want food.  Just try eating :)

The worse thing you can do is NOT EAT. When we don't eat or we aren't getting enough calories, you will not lose weight our bodies have a way of defending themselves. Whenever it feels like it is being starved it will start storing fat. \n\nThe best thing you can do is to eat your meals three times a day, don't eat a lot . Don't eat too little either. \nDrink plenty of water. get plenty of excercise. \n\nAvoid the fad diets and the diet pills. Often times they do not work and they sometimes even do more harm to our bodies than good. Avoid excessive intake of caffeine and sodium. Those are number one enemies to our bodies, they cause our body to absorb and retain water which can be a big contributor to our weight gain. \n\n\nYou will lose an average of 2 pounds a week, that is healthy for us, losing more than that can be hard on your heart. \n\nThe best thing you can do is to be patient and it takes will power. \n\nThe best snacks if you need one is peanut butter crackers. If you bring snacks to work with you don't bring a whole pack, put some in a baggy\n\nDon't buy things that are fatty because you know you are going to eat it, You are not doing yourself a favor. \n\nGood luck to you.
