2. The Foods You Eat Matter
What you eat is just as important as how much you eat. Meals that are high in sugars and refined carbs (think white bread, pasta, sugary snacks) cause blood sugar levels to spike and then crash, triggering hunger. It’s like a rollercoaster for your appetite — up, down, and up again.
On the other hand, protein, healthy fats, and fiber are hunger-busting foods. These nutrients digest more slowly, keeping you feeling fuller longer. When you eat meals with a good balance of these nutrients, your body sends the right signals to your brain to stop eating, helping you avoid those constant cravings.
