How to Tell When You're Really Hungry

Jack's tummy just rolled.  He wonders, "Is that a bothersome case of the munchies, a gas ball, or am I truly hungry?"

If Jack answers 'no' to the majority of the following questions, he is probably suffering from a case of the munchies:

Will most any food satisfy me right now?

Has it been at least two hours since meal time?

I can hear and/or feel my tummy growling deep inside of me.

If Jack answered 'yes' to all the questions, he is undoubtedly hungry.  When we are hungry, we aren't very picky when it comes to food choices.

If Jack's next meal is scheduled within the next couple of hours, he would do well to grab a piece of fresh fruit and wait to enjoy his full meal.  He doesn't want to become so famished that he is ready to drop his weight loss plan, but he doesn't want to eat too much before meal time because this too, can throw his eating plan off.

Dieting is a balancing act - balancing food, meal times, food choices and activities.
