Keep Hunger Pangs Down

Many people have trouble with the ‘snacking bug’, overeating or bad eating habits. Here are some things which I do to keep these to a minimum!

-To school, pack a Ziploc bag of baby carrots or cut up carrots. If you don’t like carrots, try celery, cucumber, broccoli, or other vegetables which are easy to munch on. You can even carry a little container of dip if you don’t like them plain. You will think this is far-fetched, but trust me, you’ll discover them before lunchtime in your bag, and they will disappear!

-Try to always carry an apple on hand.

-A handful of almonds or walnuts will help fill you up, and they’re full of protein and nutrients.

-Peanut butter in the morning will stick with you till recess.

-If you have a sweet tooth, try Cadbury 100 calorie bars for a chocolate fix, or if you’re an ice cream fanatic, try switching to frozen yogurt. The Chapman’s frozen yogurt tastes just like ice cream, but it is way better for you!

-Drink lots of water. Often, your body gets hunger confused with thirst; meaning you feel hungry, but you’re really just thirsty. In your backpack try carrying around some ice water.

-Sometimes you just crave something so badly, you MUST have it! Wait fifteen minutes, and if you’re still craving the item (and if there is no compromise), indulge, but don’t over do it. Be sure to eat slowly and savour it. My grandmother says you should always eat in the same place sitting down (at the kitchen table) so you’re not watching TV or eating just because you’re bored.

I hope some of these help!

Thanks, those were really good ideas! I always have those Dairy Milk 100 caloie bars, I think they're the best :D Kit Kat's also do two-finger ones that are only 107 calories. I found I used to snack a lot more when I was between 12-14, but I reckon if you're hungry you should eat good meals and it's not bad to snack!!

Thanks, they probably will me. I eat breakfast in the morning, but it's hard since the only time I can eat is around 6. By the time i get to lunch, I'm extremely hungry, even if I do eat a good breakfast. I'll try some of these tomorrow! Thanks again!
