CushtyJook 1,097 Posted August 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 boredom, depression, worms? Boredom at times possibly depression at times possibly but worms defonalty not, can I ask you why the first two would affect this ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wales1234 5,546 Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'm the same mate always thinking about my next meal ! And i eat stupid amounts usually boredom because if I'm busy all day will forget to eat ! I find if I can go a few days with out eating much my stomach will shrink and can not eat as much Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Have a look at intermittent fasting. I found it worked great for reducing hunger. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,873 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) I agree with Gaz; there was a programme on about it within the last couple of years. I put on a stone and a half after my daughter was born and lost it by using that: I think it's called the 5/2 diet. Another series the year before was about the rubbish that the food industry puts into their food to make it more palatable (I think it's fructose I'm thinking of but could be wrong) and also how we're encouraged to think we need lots of snacks to keep us going. Having said that, CraignTod's idea of little and often works well too...it's just that, in my case, the ;little and often was chocolate and Lucozade! Apparently it has something to do with the huge amounts of backing from the sugar industry to various sectors so that whenever research points out the harmful nature of sugar they nip in and push the blame onto fat instead. Not quite as simple as that but you get my drift. Edited August 10, 2015 by Neal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bracken boy 584 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Its all about will power and patterns, learn to not eat so soon after your last meal, another hour will go and you shouls forget about it, its like having a maccies you fill yourself up and twenty mins later your hungry, why?? Crap food.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As you've stopped smoking and drinking, you're probably experiencing cravings, which you're interpreting as hunger. Solution ? To determine when you're actually hungry ,and when youre just psychologically 'filling a gap'.......get the diabetes check done, if you're in any doubt, though !

It's probably nothing, but you never know, and if that's what it is, at least you can do something about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
