How to battle hunger

Ever felt hungry shortly after eating a meal?

One of the main reasons we get hungry after eating is due to the lack of protein and/or fiber in the meal.
Most of the meals we see are high in carbohydrates (starches) rather than protein and fibrous foods, often some of the foods can be highly processed which can lead to over consumption and not feeling satisfied from the meal.

Both protein and fiber keep us satiated (feeling full). This prevents over eating from occurring.

When you look at your next meal, look at the amount of refined carbohydrates in comparison to protein and fibre. Always try to have more protein and fiber to minimize hunger from occurring.

Water can help too as water can help with suppressing hunger levels and often hunger can be interpreted as thirst, try to drink half a liter of water prior to a big meal which will assist those hunger levels.

Key notes from this
-Focus on protein (lean meats preferable)
-Focus on fibre (fruits & vegetables)
-Focus on portion control between the different macronutrients
-Drink more water
-Prevent over consumption of junk food/highly processed foods
