For starters dont deprive yourself of the things you enjoy just cut back -like if you usally could eat a bag of oreos only eat a couple, thats what i have to do hang in there youll be fine.

Reply from dana, Age 10 - 04/10/04 - IP#: 64.170.153.xxx one reason why you might be hungry all the time is the kind of food you eat. It is weird, but true. Unlike a cookie, a grapefruit will not make you that hungry. It is because of a thing called your glycemic level (you may have heard of this before). If the food is high glycemic, it raises the level of a hormone called insulin which makes you hungry. Bread is actually high glycemic. Sweets, junk, chocolate, pasta, cake, stuff like that is all high glycemic so if you ever want those just say to yourself: "Do I really want to be hungry forever?" what can help you not be hungry also is exersize, so if you are hungry, exersize is great.
