To get rid of the evening hunger, it is enough to take a closer look at your daily diet. You need to start the day with breakfast, do not take long breaks between meals, carefully select products.
Spread your daily calories evenly
If you systematically develop treacherous hunger in the evening, something is wrong with your diet. Reconsider what and what time you eat during the day. Ideally, the main percentage of your daily calorie intake should be consumed with breakfast and lunch. Afternoon is more of a low-calorie snack rich in protein and fiber.
First of all, start eating breakfast regularly. Many people refuse to eat in the morning, because they simply do not want to. Indeed, it takes some time for the digestive system to tone up. Therefore, the feeling of hunger does not come for a long time, and people are proud that they managed not to eat in the morning and thereby reduce the number of calories per day. But this is deceptive, because a serious hunger for dinner is brewing. The body will strive to compensate for the hungry time, and you will not be able to resist a few dishes at lunch.
Meanwhile, there is nothing healthy about it, to eat 1000 calories in one meal. Wouldn't it be better to eat 400 in the morning, 500 for lunch, and 100 for a light snack in between? Plus, you'll eat a huge meal at a time and stretch your stomach. The more the stomach is stretched, the more and more often you want to eat. The way out is to have a hearty and meaningful breakfast in the morning. To speed up the awakening of the digestive system, drink a glass of lemon water on an empty stomach and wait 20 minutes.
There should be no more than 4 hours between breakfast and lunch. You can even include a small snack in between: a glass of yogurt or a piece of fruit. It is advisable to dine at the same time. Lunch should include: cereals, vegetables, fish or meat. This combination will allow you to forget about the feeling of hunger for a long time. A few hours after lunch, you can easily grab a snack by avoiding carbohydrate foods. If breakfast and lunch were high in calories, you shouldn't feel like eating in the evening.
Know your enemies by sight: limit unhealthy foods
If your hunger is emotional, that is, you have a psychological dependence on food, take control of your diet. The biggest snag in this case is not to act radically. Eat everything, just at different frequencies and in different quantities. Some foods you can eat daily: vegetables, low-fat dairy products, lean meat, fish, unsweetened fruits. Others - only in moderation: nuts, dried fruits, sweet fruits, oils, bread. And there is a category of products that you can afford only occasionally: sweets, pastries, semi-finished products. These are the foods that you will most want at the end of the day. Do not keep these foods close at hand.
