Upcoming Book Solves Dieters' Biggest Problem: But I'm Hungry! Responds To Universal Dieters' Lament

CITRUS SPRINGS, FL, June 16, 2011 (Press-News.org) Have you ever thought you could lose weight and star on The Biggest Loser if you weren't so darned hungry all the time?

Unfortunately, the diets we turn to for help don't do the job. How often have you heard that weight loss is as simple as taking in fewer calories than you burn and--voila!--the pounds will come off?

It's actually a bit more complicated than that. Doctors used to think that a calorie was a calorie. It didn't matter if your diet plan called for eating 1,200 calories in Twinkies all day. If you cut out enough calories, you could lose weight. Now, they're discovering that your body reacts differently to calories that come from different foods.

It's Not Your Fault: It's that Pesky Hunger

So weight loss isn't as easy as it sounds. To lose weight and keep it off you have to defeat hunger which, as anyone who's tried to lose weight knows, can make you feel like David attacking Goliath. So you need to bring out the big guns.

The upcoming e-book, But I'm Hungry! The Satisfaction Solution That Beats the Beast: Hunger, will help dieters do just that. It provides an understanding of how hunger works and how to make it work for, rather than against you through healthy earing, rather than fad diets. The first comprehensive exploration of the role hunger plays in healthy eating and lifestyle, the book is co-written by experienced health writer Marie Suszynski and registered dietitian Crystal Petrello, and it is scheduled to launch on September 1. Advance purchase is available at: www.butimhungry.net.

Why Hunger All-too-often Wins

For one thing, some meals and snacks will make your blood sugar rise and fall like a roller coaster, which triggers your brain to make you feel hungry, even if you've had enough calories. When blood sugar drops very low, nobody has enough willpower to stick to a diet. There's no waiting around to cut up the veggies for a salad or filling your plate with other healthy foods. Devouring the ice cream from the freezer is more like it.

Another thing doctors have learned: some food literally goes straight to your thighs or your tummy, while others are used more efficiently by your body and are less likely to make you fat.

Then there are the tricks the mind plays. We're all born with the natural instincts to know when we're hungry and need to eat and when we're full and need to stop eating. But somewhere along the way our bodies' signals get mixed, maybe because we live in a culture that pushes fatty food 24/7.

Five Ways to Beat the Beast

- Change the way you eat carbs (which doesn't mean entirely eliminating them from your diet.)

- Fill up on healthy protein.

- Use hunger as a guide.

- Get your heart pumping.

- Just say not to high-fructose products like corn syrup.

But I'm Hungry! offers a wealth of tools and resources, including an easy-to-follow meal plan and healthy recipes, that help dieters achieve these and other goals. We'll show you how cooking light and eating for health can lead to healthy weight loss and a healthy lifestyle, finally leading to the perfect Satisfaction Solution.
