It turned out to have the hunger signal levels, ranging from very hungry, hungry, until a little hungry. These are all used as a measure to control excessive appetite. But if we are still having trouble distinguishing hunger, do not worry, use the pointer as a measure of time.

Health experts say, usually the stomach will empty four hours after the last time we ate. That means, we are permitted to eat a meal every four hours. This method is even safe to apply to us who are dieting.

If we wait until the stomach was completely empty, we will be more motivated to eat all the food presented in front of the eye, according to Dr. Pauline Endang, MS, SpGK, head of nutrition agencies Fatmawati Hospital. Not only that, when the stomach is completely empty, we become selective in choosing foods.

Research in the UK also proves, the number of workers who still want to munch unhealthy snacks after lunch, tend to decrease. It compared with the number of workers who are encouraged to snack in the afternoon. “The pattern of eating every four hours can maintain stable blood sugar levels, while preventing the desire to eat too much,” said Kate Geagan, RD, registered dietitian from the United States.

So from now on, whenever hunger strike before the scheduled dinner arrives, prepare a healthy snack. Thus we can not help feeling hungry until dinner hour arrived. Choose a handful of unsalted nuts and fruit platter.

Two types of food rich in fiber and water so that the abdomen remains satisfied with the amount of calories that are not a lot. But remember, do not keep snack made of cheese or dried fruit in a desk drawer or in a bag. Make sure the snacks that we keep in the desk drawer is a kind of solid food.
