A lot of people struggle with hunger when they are dieting and I know how sometimes it can be an issue.

So today I want to share with you three tips that can help you manage your hunger when you’re dieting.

1. ACCEPT YOU WILL BE HUNGRY

Hunger is a normal part of the dieting phase and it’s going to become a regular thing. You need to learn to be okay with feeling hunger and understand that it’s just a “feeling” and nothing else.

One thing you can do to remind yourself when you’re hungry is that this is a great sign that you’re losing body fat.

Also, hunger is not a forever thing, it comes and goes in waves and one other thing to remind yourself is that this feeling of hunger will disappear, you just have to ride out this feeling.

2.EAT YOUR FRUITS AND VEGGIES

You know how much I harp on about fruits and veggies and it’s because not only are they good for you, they are great for dieting. Low calories, high volume, fruits and veggies will help keep you full for hours.

At each meal, you should aim to have either fruits or veggies that make up the majority of your meal.

Starting with a plant-based focus at each meal will ensure you’re getting the RDI of fruits and veggies AND also will make sure you’re going to be full from the volume, fibre and the slowing down of digestion due to the fibre and food.

3. EAT PROTEIN AT EVERY MEAL

If you have between 25–40g of protein at each meal you’re also going to help reduce your hunger levels. The heavier you are, the more you should aim for that 35–40g of protein per meal.

The lighter you are, you can aim down between 25–30g of protein at every meal.

Remember when I say 30g of protein that’s not 30g of chicken breast.

You need to eat 150g of chicken to get 30g of protein. So in order for you to understand how much protein is in food, it’s a good idea to start tracking your food so you can educate yourself.

These three tips can help a lot when you’re dieting
