When Hunger Calls

I feel hungry these days, every two hours, that too at
office hours. I take food lightly (not too much) for meals and so during
morning and evening (between-meal time) I feel like munching something that can squelch my hunger which suddenly bumps up. An instant solution for this will
be a chocolate, biscuit or anything loaded with sugar which not only suppress
the hunger calls but also keeps it
at bay for some time. But this cannot be included in the daily diet coz you
know it’s not healthy a habit especially in the case of people like me who work
long hours on computers.
At home it’s not a big deal, there are lot many options, or I would say there won't be a chance for those hunger pangs to appear. But at office I needed something
that can be gobbled and gulped. You might have also experienced a hollow
feeling in your stomach. Haven’t you? I have been searching for solutions and
thought of sharing some of my tips to
fight hunger pangs here. It worked
for me, hope it works for you too.
A few adjustments to the diet can help beat down hunger
creeping up. First you have to split up the eating schedule to five to six
times daily to keep the cravings in check. Frequent eating keeps blood sugar
levels regular and helps prevent hunger. So the meal plan should be like breakfast,
snack, lunch, snack, dinner and a final snack (optional).
Nuts are of course perfect choices for the between-meal
snacks. You can also choose juicy fruits
or fresh berries. For volume snacking, a serving of air popped popcorn, thinly
sliced cucumber, carrot, a serving of sprouts, dried fruits; choose according
to your taste and make the snacking last longer. I don’t like tea and coffee
and I like oat meals though it’s not that office-friendly. Feeling hungry is
sometimes a sign of dehydration and not an actual need for food. So drink a
glass of water when you wake up and one with every meal and snack and also
whenever you can before you get thirsty. Now enjoy your work! No more hunger calls! :) :) :)
