Controlling hunger is crucial to weight loss. How do you rein in hunger? We all think that eating more or eating more often will prevent hunger, but is this really true? Standard dietary advice is to eat six or seven small meals per day with the hope that this will stave off hunger and prevent overeating. If you can prevent hunger, then you may also be able to make better food choices. On the surface, it seems pretty reasonable.
However, on the surface, the disastrous “Eat Less, Move More” or “Calories in Calories out” paradigms also seemed pretty reasonable. Like fool’s gold, appearances can be deceiving, and we must dig deeper to appreciate the truth, otherwise, we are the fools. So, let’s think about this a little more.
