Its Okay to be Slightly Hungry:

I don't know...how to put in words, its okay to be slightly hungry but never ever starving! Does this make any sense?

What I am trying to say is...never do dratic diet(for example, Salad alone food, depending upon only shakes and liquids, Yo Yo diet...I mean). If you deprive yourself...I pretty much guarentee you that one day you're going to give up dieting and indulge more! To cut down calories...you don't have to skip Breakfast or Lunch.

Eat frequent meals of small portions, its okay to be slightly hungry...that is your stomach should be half the way filled. So that glucose passes steadily in the blood stream...the insulin production also won't be affected. You will safe from type 2 diabetus, obesity...etc.

Body's genetic makeup have evolved several 1000 years ago. So when a primitive man lived in a world with scarce food. When he strugled to hunt his daily meals...the genes evolved to store maximum fat...from the minimum food he rarely eats. When you deprive yourselves from eating, we still have the same gene make up anyway. So when we go on drastic diet...body thinks, that we are in starvation with scarce food source...it is its job to protect this race/species/individual to keep it going. So the minimum food will be there in our food tract for longer duration, and maximum absorption happens. Moreover it tends to store as fat!! Why to fight with gene plan anyway.

  • Its ok to be slighty hungry is very true :) The stomack should usually be 1/2 filled with food, 1/4 th with water and another 1/4 with air ( means sense???!!!)
    We should never starve coz, it can make the body to store all the fat instead of using them :(( And also when we eat next time, the fat is stored and not used :((
    Will be back for more interactive posts :)
