Dieting is hard.

I'm currently dieting. So far so good. I have dropped about 19 pounds.
I have been trying to train myself to eat healthy and eat less. By eating less, I mean eating a healthy amount and not binge/over-eating.
My body is still having issues with wanting to snack or eat unhealthy things between meals.
Will my body eventually adapt to eating healthy and the cravings for snacking and overeating go away? Basically training myself to be healthy.

I read lots of articles that say eating in between meals is good.
And I mean something like nuts and fruit.
Drinking big glass of water before a meal helps curb hunger so you eat less.

that's human nature, you will always have urges
but dieting is a fad…what you are trying to do is a lifestyle change…it's okay to have a cheat meal every now and then or divulge and eat a brownie…just don't do it everyday.
are you exercising too? when I am exercising a lot, I find it very easy to eat healthy….why go through all the pain of a 1-hour workout, then ruin it by eating a pizza 2 hours later….when I'm not working out a lot, I tend to eat a lot worse

What are you craving? Sugar?

You will eventually get where you actually crave healthy food.

The easiest, cheapest and best way to stop cravings is this:
Keep some apples in your fridge. They are healthy, sweet and tart.
Slice one up raw. Leave the skin on. After you are finished with the apple drink a big glass of water.
The water expands the pectin in the apple skin and it bloats you up. No more hunger.

Honestly man, it's tough. I still crave shite...especially on the weekends. During the week, I make my breakfast and head off to work with a nice salad, some hummus for a snack etc...get home and eat some leftovers and all is well. Then the weekend rolls around and the structure of my day to day is gone and I constantly fight the urge to just go grab fast food and be lazy. I've lost a lot of weight over the last year + (go visit us in the sticky thread above) and it's a never ending fight to keep up a healthy life style.

Small, subtle changes are easiest to adapt to. Substitute quinoa for rice. Mix ground flax seed in with cereal, yogurt, gumbo. As mentioned above, apple slices, celery, and cucumber make great snacks. Drinks lots of water and keep gum on hand. Chewing gum can stave off hunger pangs.

My opinion is no.
Because your body has already adjusted, but your brain won't.
I've been doing weight watchers online and have lost 33 pounds. There are lots of times where I am full but my brain says "more! that was so good!"
I've decided that once I reach my goal weight I am going to invest the $20 per month and stay on weight watchers forever because I think of it like being an addict and need to stay in a program to keep myself in line.
I ate mass quantities of whatever I wanted and stayed really thin forever, then BAM! at a certain age, so I set myself up over many years.

Yo Albert,
My tip to you is to keep things simple!!! Losing weight is the easiest thing to do in the fitness world. Its pretty simple its basically how much calories are eating and how much you can burn. There's no such thing as a healthy or unhealthy dieter (restricted dieting). Just be a smarter eater, don't get caught up with the non-sense of good fats and bad fats ( fat is fat when you are trying to lose weight).
Here is a few things that can help you be successful
1. read this article
LINK /
2. get the app myfitnesspal to keep track of what you are eating.
3. get a digital food scale!!! to know exactly how much you are eating!!!
If you have any questions ill be more than happy to help you!!! I was able to lose 57lbs in 12 weeks (results may vary from person to person) and I am currently helping 8 people reach their fitness goals.
