look at the serving size. usually for cookies, chips, crackers its a meals worth-cut it in half for a snack. \n\nif your eating heavy cakes (basically chocolate) try eating angel food cake. its less calories and sooooooooooo good!

Why would you feel sick?  Are you cutting back your portions too much?  You can't go from one extreme to the other when trying to control your weight.  Maybe you should get some help:\n\nOvereaters Anonymous:\nhttp://www.oa.org

It is very important to eat breakfast, especially if you are trying to loose weight. Eating breakfast speeds up you metabolism for the day, and if consumed regularly can speed up your metabolism all together.\n\nEven though you may not feel hungry in the morning it is important to "break the fast" that you have just gone through due to sleep.\n\nIf you eat a good healthy breakfast you will find yourself having more energy, and therefore burning off more kilojoules. You will also find that you will need less to eat at lunch and dinner because you started the day with a proper meal.\n\nThis is very important as much of the energy we receive from lunch and dinner can not be burnt off as quickly as breakfast. It sounds silly but the earlier you eat your food for the day the better. This increases the amount of time your body has to burn off the excess energy. \n\nI suggest yogurts with no added sugar, and with less fat helps. Another often is muesli - not cereal. Many of these are full of sugar. Also be careful to make sure the muesli or bran you have is not toasted and does not have added sugar or honey. But as I said, yogurt and fruit is the best option.\n\nStay away from juices also, try to stick to water. Hope this helps!\n\nAnother tip which you may find helpful - smaller serving sizes will help you eat less. As does eating slowly. Your brain can take up to 20 minutes to register that you are full and have had enough. American serves of food are usually around 3 times what is needed for a healthy meal.\n\nEat smaller, eat slower and you will eat less.  Good luck :)

My number one challenge to eating healthy is that right before bed, WHEN YOU SHOULD NOT EAT... I get severe muchies.... seriously bad ones. If I had a bag of doritos, or a bowl of ice cream... Id devour it. So I have learned to not even bother buying snacks and munchy stuff... Its a waste of money and Im so mad at myself for eating it later.

Hello, you are most probably overloading yourself during your meal. you should eat slowly; it takes approximately 10 minutes for your brain to register the amount of food that you have eaten and feel satiety; this feeling of heaviness that you are describing is called heartburn and it's because your stomach is full very quickly and there is not much time for it to ''stretch'' enough and start the digestion process. the other thing that i am thinking is that you probably do not eat at regular times and you eat once a day while the rest of the day you don't eat anything. if you do that, it's very bad for your digestive system and you need to have snacks in between meals. it's not because of the carbs though. (you said it already for yourself...'a lot of pasta'...it's not the type, it's the quantity).Best of luck.

When I got hungry it seemed like my body did not give me the polite tap tap tap on the shoulder "uh could you get something to eat in an hour or two?"  It was like a body slam "Feed me now, #@$#$%$#"   I was always tired and always wanted sweets.\nIt sounds like a stupid faddy diet but the high protien low carb stuff straightened all that out.  Drs say it can lower cholestorol and blood pressure and I know it straightens out blood sugar.    Check everything you eat for carb count, start at less than 20 carbs per day and add 5 a week until you quit losing and back up a little.\n  My new diet is something like this,  I ate a sugar free candy when I woke up because I was a little munchie.  Later on I'll eat 3-4 eggs and some sausage.  If I feel like it I might make pancakes (lo-carb) instead or to go with it.\n   I'm rarely hungry at lunch time but if I am I get a low carb burger at hardeee's or just take the bun off of something from somewhere else.  Dinner tonight will be BBQ because it's too hot to cook inside.  I've got some cole slaw already made up and I'll get some broccoli out of the garden and microwave it with some cheese sauce. Tonight me and my BF will most likely eat lo-carb chocolate peanut butter ice cream or nachos made with pork rinds.\n   I used to be so worn out I would cry on the way home from work.  Now I think about going for a swim at the river.  I've lost some weight, BF has lost 60 lbs.  I feel so much better now that I would keep on with this way of eating even if I knew I would never lose another pound.  Contact me if you need more detail and /or look up Atkins diet\noddmom3@yahoo.com

Coming from someone who just lost 20 lbs. and before would look in the mirror and want to cry. I have some advice. The first thing, stop eating after 7 oclock. Tell your self that you can always eat in the morning, you can eat as much as you want before 3 oclock as long as its HEALTHY and you move around during the day. Drink plenty of water. 50% of americans mistake thirst (dehydration) for hunger and also not drinking enough water can lower your metabolism as little as 3%. Dont go to bed super late, that always makes it worse. Give yourself at least 3 to 4 hours before going to bed after you eat. It will just sit in your stomach and turn to fat if you dont. Also eat healthy foods not junk food, that is the second reason people gain weight. I am a massage therapist and a nutrionist, and am also going to school for my DVM. I went from 150 to 130 (I am 5'8) in 4 months just from not eating late and switching to whole and raw foods. I dont eat fast food at all, maybe once a month at the most. I make my food and take it to work. Try a supermarket like whole foods or trader joes, which or more natural. And try dairy products without growth hormones, which actually contribute to weight gain. Being a naturalist and not eating after 6 or 7 has changed my life. Sure I get lazy, and dont want to work out, but because I have a healthy diet and I can sometimes get away with it. Also a good thing would be to find some kind of hobby or something you love to do and use that to work out, like for instance I love to dance, and I use that as my work out regimen. I dont feel like I am doing it because I have to but because I want to. Good luck. I hope you can use some of my advice. I know its hard but you can do it. Anyone Can. One more thing that might help is buying a scale that calculates your specific body fat, it will help you set realistic goals for your body and where you stand in losing body fat.

You should eat something after you exercise. A piece of fruit would be good.  You should never be hungry.  If you are always hungry, take a look at what you are eating.  Try to spread out the calories differently or try eating different foods so that you don't get hungry.

Watch not only what you eat (of course staying away from junk food or junk sodas, anything that's high in sugar and low in vitamins and minerals) but also watch how much you eat. Eating slowly will help with this. Don't eat so much that you feel like you need a nap. After eating, if you can, do something active like taking a walk; anything to get your body moving. Do things that are fun on a regular bases too helps, like going to any type of park or being around kids. If you want some tips on proper food, you should check out weight watchers or jenny craig and websites like theirs.

Think of your body as a machine, that needs certain fuel to function. If you are denying it the right fuels, your blood sugar levels drop dramatically, and this is where `sweet cravings' come from. Eating a good breakfast (with some form of protein eg egg or yogurt/ milk =these are protein) will set you off in the right direction. Same with lunch; bread is just carbohydrate . . . you must have some protein like fish or chicken or [steak sandwhich] to keep the engine running!! Taking a good mulitvitamin/mineral supplement also helps. Vitamin C can never be overlooked!\nGood luck!

You gotta be serious with your breakfast. It is the most important meal in a day because you blood sugar level is low when you just wake up. You will need a hearty meal or at least some food to pump up your blood sugar to ensure your organs can funtion well. For instants, your brain can funtion better rather than suffering from some morning sickness. It is also said that having breakfast do have an impact in contolling body weight!

You might not be getting the right foods your body needs or you eat junk food or too many sweet, which you can get hooked on  and FEEL hungry all the time.. I say change your diet and really think what you are Eating.  You should go to a Dr. for a check up.

Sounds good to me but if you want to change: Start eating cooked egg whites at breakfast. It will fill you up and eventually you won't feel like eating. Then exercise 30 minutes a day. Before you know it you'll be at a good weight and be able to keep it if you keep it up. Good luck.
