# 1 I am so HUNGRY! All the time. Any suggestions other than to drink more water?
# 2 I am envious of those of you who can climb all 192 stairs at a time. I can climb only 4 flights without getting short of breath. My goal over the next weeks is to increase a little at a time! Perhaps by November I'll be able to get to the top without stopping!

ReplyDeleteRe #1 Your metabolism may differ,but for me a high protein content in food leads to earlier satiety.
Re #2 Stair climbing is a body weight exercise,so the more you do,the easier it should become--you get stronger for the exercise and it requires less exertion with the weight loss. Also helps to record your exercise results. I did those stairs last night in "time X"--next time it will be at least 15 seconds faster and twice a shift. I.e.,set a goal,attain it,then raise the bar.

I have read that chewing gum or brushing your teeth will decrease your cravings. I have tried it and I think it does work. Also drinking the water is a good idea too.
ReplyDelete#1) I agree -- higher protein increases satiety. Also, I found that eating smaller, more frequent meals -- about 200 cal every 2-3 hrs keeps my hunger at bay much better than the usual 3 squares a day.
ReplyDelete#2) Stair climbing is great - you'll be surprised and pleased at how fast you progress.
According to Jillian M. you should be eating good foods and eat every 4 hours. (Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with one snack throughout the day. I have been doing it for a month and it works for me.
