Have you ever thought you could lose weight and star on The Biggest Loser
if you weren¹t so darned hungry all the time?
Unfortunately, the diets we turn to for help don't do the job. How often
have you heard that weight loss is as simple as taking in fewer calories
than you burn and‹ voila!‹the pounds will come off?
It¹s actually a bit more complicated than that. Doctors used to think that
a calorie was a calorie. It didn¹t matter if your diet plan called for
eating 1,200 calories in Twinkies all day. If you cut out enough calories,
you could lose weight. Now, they¹re discovering that your body reacts
differently to calories that come from different foods.
It¹s Not Your Fault: It¹s that Pesky Hunger
So weight loss isn¹t as easy as it sounds. To lose weight and keep it off
you have to defeat hunger which, as anyone who¹s tried to lose weight
knows, can make you feel like David attacking Goliath. So you need to
bring out the big guns. The upcoming e-book, But I¹m Hungry! The
Satisfaction Solution That Beats the Beast: Hunger, will help you do just
that. It provides an understanding of how hunger works and how to make it
work for, rather than against you through healthy earing, rather than fad
diets. The first comprehensive exploration of the role hunger plays in
healthy eating and lifestyle, the book is co-written by experienced health
writer Marie Suszynski and registered dietitian Crystal Petrello, and it
is scheduled to launch on September 1. Advance purchase is available at:

Why Hunger All-too-often Wins
For one thing, some meals and snacks will make your blood sugar rise and
fall like a roller coaster, which triggers your brain to make you feel
hungry, even if you¹ve had enough calories. When blood sugar drops very
low, nobody has enough willpower to stick to a diet. There¹s no waiting
around to cut up the veggies for a salad or filling your plate with other
healthy foods. Devouring the ice cream from the freezer is more like it.
Another thing doctors have learned: some food literally goes straight to
your thighs or your tummy, while others are used more efficiently by your
body and are less likely to make you fat.
Then there are the tricks the mind plays. We¹re all born with the natural
instincts to know when we¹re hungry and need to eat and when we're full
and need to stop eating. But somewhere along the way our bodies¹ signals
get mixed, maybe because we live in a culture that pushes fatty food 24/7.
Five Ways to Beat the Beast
· Change the way you eat carbs (which doesn¹t mean entirely
eliminating them from your diet.)
· Fill up on healthy protein.
· Use hunger as a guide.
· Get your heart pumping.
· Just say not to high-fructose corn syrup.
But I'm Hungry! offers a wealth of tools and resources, including an
easy-to-follow meal plan and healthy recipes, that help dieters achieve
these and other goals. We¹ll show you how cooking light and choosing food
for health can lead to healthy weight loss and a healthy lifestyle,
finally leading to the perfect Satisfaction Solution.
