Eat more protein and complex carbohydrates. These take much longer for the stomach to digest, therefore you are fuller, longer. If you must eat more often, reduce how much you eat but continue to eat just as often. 5 or 6 small meals a day is actually suggested for those trying to lose weight because it breaks up the carb load and also tricks the body, to a degree, into thinking there is no shortage of food supply, so it converts less glycogen (what simple and complex carbs and protein eventually break down to as an energy source for the body) into fat for storage. It also keeps you from getting hungry as often, eating that many times a day. If you still get hungry, it's much less likely to be as intense as it would be if you were alternatively eating 3 large meals in a day, making coping with it more managable. Perhaps give it a try? |
