I let myself get wayyyyy too hungry, and somehow would up with a Tollhouse ice cream sandwich in hand. Oops, it happens sometimes!
Recently I was emailed a question:
If I have 6 scheduled meals, and I'm not hungry when I'm supposed to eat one, what should I do? Skip it, or just eat it anyway? (Keep in mind, this lovely reader is looking to drop an lb or two:)
Answer: I think it depends on the situation, but one thing I wanted to clarify if that you should never wait to eat until you are "hungry". Once this has happened, your blood sugar is no longer stable, and it really opens up the door to making some truly terrible (dare I say regretful) see above pic:)....food choices. The best way to eat is to constantly be well,.............not hungry. After you eat, you shouldn't be full, but before you eat, you also shouldn't be starving. Think of it as a constant stream of energy....you're maintaining your body before it crashes, and needs tons of TLC (which we often deliver in the form of tons of sugar and fat after a crash)
If you aren't even the slightest bit in need of a snack, I would push it back an hour, but always eat before hunger:)
Stay gorgeous and healthy!
