5 reason you might be always hungry - and it might not be that you’re greedy ;)

 
Growing up I always struggled with my weight, on one diet or another.  A negative relationship with food always.  There was no real education on how to eat healthy, just some very vague ideas that didn’t always work for me.  I never really thought what food was doing for me or when I ate the wrong foods, what it was doing to me.
 
So here is a little list of 5 reasons you might be hungry and how to resolve it:
 

1. Too little protein in the diet – each meal you ideally need the palm of your hand in protein
2. You’re not eating enough – you may be on a starve binge cycle without realising
3. You’re not sleeping well – this puts stress on the body, stress burns calories, so you end up hungry.  Sleep also regulates and appetite stimulating hormone called ghrelin, sleep down – ghrelin up.
4. You’re eating too many refined carbs – bread, pasta, pizza, whire rice etc.  A simple switch to brown can make a big difference
5. Not enough fat in your diet – yep, you heard me!  We have had fat drummed into us for so long as a negative that many people don’t eat enough now.  Healthy fats help you feel fuller and more satisfied for longer

 
The truth that I wasn’t aware of was that if I ate like my friends, I gained weight when they didn’t, and that is very frustrating and destroys a good relationship with food.  When in fact all I needed to do was to eat in the way that suited my bodytype and suddenly everything fell into place.
