Hunger sometimes make you panic, so you ate in large quantities and quickly. And this hunger can actually make you eat more than you need. How to control hunger so had no bad effect for health?

Hunger is closely associated with blood sugar levels. If you eat regular meals each day then the sugar levels will tend to be stable ground. However, if you’re hungry all day, the heavy hunger come and need foods as soon as possible.

“Blood sugar will drop dramatically after 4 hours without eating,” says Valerie Berkowitz, MS, RD, nutrition director at the Center for Balanced Health in New York City as quoted by Men’s Health America. With severe hunger, must be sought cakes, food court, a cold sweet drinks or fast food outlets. They can raise blood sugar levels in a short time.

The problem is the increase in blood sugar triggers the pancreas work harder to release insulin. This insulin in decrease blood sugar levels and provide signal to the body to store fat. In most people insulin tend to be excessive to move blood sugar levels. “It make effects, then people will be forced to go hungry and eat more,” so clearly Berkowitz.

The most effective way to control blood sugar levels is to avoid foods processed with sugar added, like soda, fruit juice, crisps and sweets. Should reduce or limit these foods. Reduce all types of foods that contain flour. For example rice, pasta, bread, noodles, potatoes and all flour-based foods. Although we know those are good food, had vitamins and fiber. Limit your intake of 30-40 grams of carbohydrates for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and 10-20 grams for a snack.

In addition, follow these three practical ways:

* Eat regularly, at least once every 3 hours. Eat smaller meals before feeling hungry.

* Eat fat and protein each meal (likes meat, cheese, eggs, and fishes). This will slow the processing carbohydrates that could trigger an increase in blood sugar.

* Eat whole grains. We have sold a lot of different cakes and bread made from whole grain Try to buy pasta, rice and bread made from whole grains. Whole grains contain fiber that can lower blood sugar levels.

* To practice it is not difficult. Eat regularly enough and don’t let hungry lasted too long.
