How to not feel hungry all the time..

I would eat pizza, KFC, cookies, bagels, cakes all day every day. If you told me I have only a month to live, I would pig out all day. I've started buying large quantities of vegetables. I have to find a way to eat all that. I've just finished another big salad with red leaf, cucumber, one tomatoe, dried parsley, onion, black pepper and salt. Very low calorie meal and very water-dense, with lots of vitamines and minerals. After that, I steamed brocoli. Later on, I'll cook a steak. I'm very happy to hear about your success. Do you take any supplements like vitamins or minerals? Do you think having minerals off multi- vitamins has the same effect as having minerals off food? I don't take any vitamins or supplements. I get lots of all the vitamins and minerals and far as I know I'm healthy. I toyed with taking Omega-3, but there's a fair amount in oats, so I don't take any. I hear lots of claims for this or that vitamin, mineral, supplement, combination, but except for the Omega 3, there doesn't seem to be much science behind it. I pretty much follow Dean Ornish's advice, except he does recommend the Omega 3. I certainly eat low fat...about 10% of my diet, no more than that. I'm with you. I could really eat all day. In fact, when I was fat, I could easily eat a dozen donuts and a quart of milk. I did this numerous time when I would drive through Martinsville, Indiana on my way back to Bloomington for college. The thing was, they always had still warm, fresh out of the cooker glazed donuts when I would pass through on Sunday eve. I must have done that 30 times.....while driving, or an entire box of chocolate cherries while returning with diet soda from the grocery. I'm sure I could eat 6 Big Macs. I have eaten an entire medium pepperoni pizza on several occasions too, and an entire gallon of Bluebell homemade vanilla with strawberries ice cream. The ice cream would be what, about 5,000 calories? Then I would get home and look for something else to eat. In a way, since I was never really satisfied and really never starved, it was a little easier for me to just ignore my desires for food, since obviously I can't trust my appetite to tell me when or what to eat. For me it is probably like an alcoholic who really can't take that first drink again cause it will cause him to blow it. I never ever overeat. I get to exactly my 2,000 calories and I stop eating. My weight stays almost exactly the same too. I too am obsessed with food. I watch the food channel quite a bit and my favorite episode is where they show the 10 best places in America to pig out. I was thinking the whole time that I could out-eat any of those people they showed. A lot of places would serve huge pizza or some grotesque cheeseburger with 8 pounds of fries....stuff like that. Oh ya, one was pancakes...giant stacks and ice cream. The premise to most was that you paid a price for the food, but if you could eat it all, it was free. The other program that I have watched a couple of times either on the Food network or the history channel were the history of chocolate and candy in America. I never was a big meat eater, but sweets are a different matter. The program where they have pie bakeoffs are also great. Man, I could eat an entire pecan pie or cherry pie...warm with vanilla ice cream, or 2 doz. chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven with lots of ice cold milk. Yet, the heaviest I ever was, was 250. I see a lot of people much heavier than that, so I know they must be consuming 6,000 calories + a day. I would much rather dwell and fixate and fantasize about food now than actually eat it, cause I refuse to ever get fat again. dkw |
