Most people struggle to lose weight due to the simple fact that they get hungry.
Why do we get hungry?
Hunger hormones" (ghrelin) in your blood and an empty stomach signal the brain when you're hungry. Nerves in the stomach send signals to the brain that you're full, but these signals can take up to 20 minutes to communicate -- and by that time, you may have already eaten too much.
Simply put, if your stomach is not filled with a lot of volume, you will be hungry.
Imagine with me for a second 1500 calories of McDonalds. Probably a big burger, some fries, and a coke. Sounds about right.
Now, imagine 1500 calories of vegetables. Can you even IMAGINE how many pounds of vegetables that will be? I doubt you'll be able to finish it even if your life depended on it.
The key to effortlessly losing fat is to choose foods that you enjoy that are relatively low in calories, while still eating your cravings in moderation.
This will mostly be vegetables and fruits, as they are extremely low in calories compared to anything else.
The key is to experiment with all vegetables and fruits. Try out different recipes and ways that they can be made. The wonders that can be done with them are endless. Here's an example of a super amazing volume food:
Strawberries
Can you imagine that ONE strawberry is just 4 CALORIES?!
That means you can eat a kilogram of strawberries and only be at 320.
Meanwhile, a bag of chips can reach 400 calories. A huge one can even be 1000 calories!
So, to summarise this, be more conscious of what you put into your stomach. You can still eat chips and pizza, but be sure to make space for vegetables and fruits as they will help out with the inevitable hunger.
Ever since discovering this, It's felt like I've been bulking rather than trying to lose weight. It truly is a life-changer.
Please don't substitute everything in your diet with vegetables and fruits as you still need other nutrients.
Good luck with your journey!
