One of the keys to weight loss is the dieter’s ability to determine whether they are truly hungry OR if they are simply fondling a box of the munchies.
It’s a great challenge but we’re here to help with a list of our best tips for distinguishing hungries from munchies:
Before hitting the pantry and throwing your diet to the wind, check the direction of the wind. You don’t want anything blowing back into your face once you’re done, particularly cheesy or gooey objects.
Ask yourself:
- Am I TRULY hungry?
- Is my tummy growling?
- Am I feeling picky about what I want to eat?
- What activity am I currently involved in? Watching television? Playing a video game? Talking with my mother in law over the phone? And does such activity prompt the munchies?
- Will a fresh fruit snack fill my urge to eat?
- Do I need to go ahead and just enjoy my next planned meal?
- How long until I retire for the evening? If it’s within the next couple of hours, you don’t want food resting in your tummy while you are trying to rest. The body needs to be at a level where TOTAL rest can be achieved so that you’ll feel like a new Spring Diet Chicken come morning.
If you determine that you are truly experiencing a case of the munchies, then grab that fresh piece of fruit OR a stick of gum OR some raw veggies OR – well, you get the picture, you smart dieter you!
