Hi, I'm Dr. Robin Miller. And here's a smart tip to lose weight. Nothing derails a new diet faster than nagging hunger pangs.
But here's a neat trick to turn the volume way down on hunger. Stop counting calories. Instead, pack your diet with nutrient-dense foods.
In one study, when people switch to a diet full of healthy foods, they experienced hunger far less often and found their hunger much easier to tolerate.
Researchers think that when people don't eat enough nutritious foods, it causes a sort of food withdrawal phenomenon in the body, characterized
by inflammation and the release of toxic metabolic waste products. The result-- a more painful kind of hunger
that can only be relieved by eating again. So don't obsess about how much you should be eating. Instead, focus on what you should be eating.
That means loading your plate with lots of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains, lean proteins, and healthful fats. For more great ways to nourish your health,
