If you find yourself constantly hungry the minute you try to lean out or lose weight, keep reading and watch the video below, because I’m going to give you one tip to completely change that.

This change will help you feel fuller, more satisfied, and more satiated – even while losing body fat.

One of the biggest pain points clients often intitally come to me with is that they feel a constant hunger throughout the day, even though they’re eating a good amount of food – and frequently.

When I ask for a food log, it typically looks a little something like this:

breakfast – 7:00am

Dessert before bed

So, they’re eating 5-6 smaller meals, spaced between 2-3 hours of each other throughout the day.

However more and more studies are showing that eating three square meals a day (when comprised with adequate protein) help you to feel fuller for longer, while losing weight.

How to Feel Full and Satiated While Losing Weight

We tend to underestimate our food intake when eating more frequently, and we really never feel actually full eating so little. If we do, it’s only for an hour.

So if you tend to feel a constant hunger eating smaller, more frequent meals, try increasing your portion sizes at your meals, decreasing frequency, and eating every 4-6 hours, rather than every 2-3*. 

Of course, if you’re going for a long stretch of a time between meals, it’s probably best to plan for a smaller snack in between them.

For example, let’s say lunch is at noon, and dinner plans aren’t until 8:00. In order not to be ravenous by the time the bread basket is placed on the table at the restaurant, plan for a smaller, but satiating snack a few hours before dinner.

Some of my clients have recently switched up their meal frequency – and meal make up, depending on their goals – and have already seen some great changes as far as feeling fuller during the day.
