If you're trying to drop a few pounds, you know that you need to be consuming fewer calories. That doesn't mean you should stop eating or miss meals altogether though. When your body is hungry, you've got to feed it. Research shows that skipping out on eating and ignoring your hunger pains will only cause you to eat more later on in the day. Personally, I know if I skip out on eating my afternoon snack, I'll crave everything in sight and end up stuffing my face and overeating when it's dinnertime. So instead, curb your hunger by eating small snacks or meals, so your mind doesn't fixate on food. Choose foods that are full of fiber (like fruits and veggies) or high in protein (like cheese and yogurt) since those will satisfy your belly and keep you feeling full the longest.
