well i think its because you're worried on how you're gonna be after you eat it. you'll think 'maybe ill get fatter' or 'maybe this'll make me poop easily'.. i suggest you eat only meat, chicken, fish, egg, cheese, vegetables, and nuts.. dont eat sweets, pasta, rice, any carbs, fruits, bread, baked goods, and any fatty foods.. well, the food that i suggested you must avoid, you can eat them a little. :D

You need to divert your attention.  Start thinking of food as a tool to maintain life rather than something fun to do.  If you can put some restrictions on yourself it will help.  \nFrom now on, each time you want something that isn't healthy or a part of a meal tell yourself you are only allowed to have it if you first walk around the block.  That way it will take your mind off of it.  If you still want it after the walk go ahead and eat it.  Or if you want an even harder fix, figure out how many calories are in the item, then figure out how long you would have to walk or run to burn the calories.  You can then force yourself to do that much exercise before eating the item.  \n\nI know it's hard, but eventually you'll get to a point where it's just not worth it to you to eat the item.  Also, allow yourself a cheat here or there.  Total deprivation never works.

1. activity varies day to day, increased activity needs more energy and your brain tell you to eat more\n2. on contrary, when you have nothing to do, it's easy to get your attention of food, especially if there is easy and tasty one nearby\n3. you don't eat the same thing everyday don't you? what you eat before affect your hunger. food that hard to digest stay longer in your stomach and make you feel full for longer time. it's not just calories or grams that counts

I am on Atkins right now it's not easy especially if you are like me and love fruits and veggies you wont be able to eat any fruits and veggies as you like and if you don't like too much meat or eggs and fats well that is Atkins! If you want quick results that should do it if you follow it strictly but if you want healthy , lifetime maintenance try eating healthy , small portions and exercise.

Hello,I'll try to give you the exact answer of your questions.First,depends what kind of protein you choose( is it from vegetable origin like the soya etc.or mainly from dairy products like milk,cheese etc,or it's meat).It's very important,mostly bbecause not the exact amount of protein ingested can cause you problems,but the nature of it.For example there are too many people who have low digestibility of the milk protein and experience swallowing and other side effects.The recommended daily amount of protein is a subject of discussion,but genetally is at about up to max.100 gr.So for a while just watch what kind of proteins you take,skip the eggs,milk,fatty meat..replace them with light yogurt,chicken filee etc. and preferable eat them with plain salad.Simply our body cannot adjust to large amount of protein and another cause of your feeling is that it takes time while the protein is reduces to pain aminoacids,which are the real benefit for consuming it!! Luck!

If your nursing a baby, your body needs to  hand onto the extra fat in order to make milk.  Is it that you eat because of hunger, or habit, or anxiety?  Having a large family, I find that sometimes I just don't know what to do first.  The list is just too long.  The anxiety can be enough to make me eat when I'm not hungry.  Keep celery sticks in the fridge for those anxiety binges.  And make a priority list.  It gives you a focal  point.  Good luck.  You can do it.

Well obviously, that's what a healthy diet consists of.  They can also suggest recipes that are appealing to you and exactly which fuits, veggies, meats, fishes, etc are the best for your body type and your weight/health goals.  There's more to it than just eating the right foods.  Portions are very important as well.  If you can't afford a dietician, then just eating the good foods is a great way to start.

Yes, but what is the reason for over eating? You need to find what makes you over eat and use food as comfort to be able to get over this as well. \n\nHeart attacks, diabetes, strokes, hey is that enough cause there are heaps if that sounds great don't change. If you scares you there are many things you can do to change your lifestyle. \n\nI hope you make some good decisions as what you eat effects every part of your body now and later. Heard the saying, you are what you eat!

not that you don't already know this. But perparing your  food is aalot better for you than over the counter and or going out. you see you tend to obsever more oif what you are putting into your system than what is being proceed. you can't belive the difference. as well as how you well be paying more attetion to what agrees with you.your intake of salt will decress and the oils/grease you once enjoyed can be replaced, with a light olive oil/100%-corn oi, althought you will the importance is watching what you eat. if you enjoy fruits or smooties. you can directly place in a blender and and 1/4 cup of low fat milk and blend to your taste. i have matters of concern where i must watch what i eat.  i am a single partent and i use the same advise i present to you to my family of five and they are more fit, relaxed,  enjoyab le to pleae and reading to them at night relaxes us all. go to a nails place . they also do your feet and it comes with a massage to the legs. invole a freind. go get into a whirl-pool. it is great for your legs.

you have to make up your mind to eat healthier and just do it. there is no magic answer, just willpower.

I do the same thing.  The best things I have found is before you eat write down what you are going to eat and why, then redirect your self to something time consuming, comp. chores anything but eating.

Replace your comfort food with veggies, fruits or poultry  that you have ready in your fridge for times like that.\nThat helps me and my hubby a lot a lot:) sometimes we all want  to eat 'something' make that something available immediately be something that is good for you.:)

You'd probably end up with a good case of the sh**ts! Food, pretty much any kind can be good for you, but overindulging can lead to problems. And the banana is considered nature's perfect food, but only to a certain degree. Best to eat a variety of foods in bigger portions, without going overboard. Try calorie dense (contain many calories per serving) foods. Just look at food labels for nutrition suggestions.

If you think there is a problem there probably is. It sounds like you are addicted to the sugar that is in the food you like to eat. It is however not healthy to be eating these foods exclusively. By doing so you are depriving your body of nurishment it needs, and soon you will not be feeling well. Everything in moderation, it's not a "fat" issue but a health one.
