When I'm hungry, I find that a single fig keeps the hunger down for an hour or two, which means it's a lot more effective than most foods I can think of. :-)

Animals prefer organic food - cats, for example, often don't even accept normal milk once you've let them taste the organic variety. ;D

To keep hunger at bay, I find that eating raw carrots helps me. Sometimes, a cup of decaf coffee will help curb my appetite too..........

I remember when I was seriously trying to keep a nice figure in college and such I would cut whatever I ate in half. I'd get up and exercise to music every morning or at least three times a week. Try to walk more places, and not eat sweets. But I would allow myself one sweet a day, and that seemed to let me feel like I was still human....like I wasn't cut off from everything. One cookie and no more or if I was talking about a candy bar maybe 1/4 of a candy bar. It seemed as long as I was able to sample a little it was my special treat for being good. I seemed to be able to handle the diet better if I let myself have a little reward.

I love to eat and enjoy a good meal, more as I'm getting (ahem) older. But my problem is that I don't exercise. If I try and eat more fruits and veggies, eat more whole grains, and drink water (OK I disguise it with a powdered mix), and watch my portions, it doesn't take me very long to lose a couple of pounds. Cutting sugars helps. If you are a soda drinker, try switching to diet, and make the jump to caffeine free. You will notice a weight loss after a few months I promise. I'm living proof of that.

meme I think 3 tsp isn't even a whisper in the ear of your waistline. Go for it.  LOL I hope you can even make sense out of that. What I meant in brief was "that's nothing". ; ) |

Me too, Meme!!
I think protein is the best way to keep your appetite under control. It's filling and keeps you satisfied longer-- I notice when my hubby makes me an egg in the morning I'm fuller longer. Trouble is protein isn't my favorite thing to eat, but when I do eat a lot of protein I stay fuller longer and eat less.
