Your Success Group participants may say they’re hungry—even starving. Really? So what’s the answer? (I know for me I hate the word “starving” and encourage people to not use it.) Tell them to always go back to water first (they should drink more water than their minimum goal, ESPECIALLY when they’re exercising or feeling hungry), and then eat more veggies to fill up. Also make sure they are eating enough protein at every meal to stay full. If they’re not getting adequate protein at each meal, they risk feeling too hungry too often, and that leads to them being preoccupied with eating, which is the last thing we want. And if they want seconds, that is fine; refer them to the More? Sure! Model video. If they love to eat a lot (like me, lol), they’ll love this one!
Ilana has tried to help us change our mindsets and become more positive about food and our bodies, so let’s try to not use the word “starving.” After all, are we ever really starving? Thankfully not. If you feel hungry, here are a few suggestions:
- Go back to water first (you should drink more water than your minimum goal, ESPECIALLY when you’re exercising or feeling hungry).
- Eat more veggies to fill up.
- Make sure you are eating enough protein at every meal to stay full. If you’re not getting adequate protein at each meal, you risk feeling too hungry too often, and that leads to being preoccupied with eating, and that’s the last thing you want.
- If you want seconds, don’t forget the More? Sure! Model!
