11. How To Increase Your Hunger And Lose Weight

I'm still worked up about the article I wrote about appetite suppressants. A strong hunger is the way to losing weight, not appetite suppressants!

Having a strong hunger when you eat means the food you ate before has digested completely and you are now ready for more food. If your food doesn't digest properly it accumulates in your intestines and becomes toxic. It prevents proper elimination and absorption of nutrients. Not being fully hugry is a good formula for getting fat!

If you have a strong hunger you will have great health. Your excess fat will burn off naturally. You will have radiant skin and hair and your mind will be alert and full of bliss.

Ayurveda places a lot of emphasis on hunger. You should be hungry at the right times of the day. You should be fully hungry before you eat. When you eat, you should eat until your hunger is satisfied, not until your stomach is full.

When you are fully hungry your digestive system is ready for food and it digests what you give it, quickly and easily. If you are not fully hungry and you eat, your digestive system is not able to process the nutrients and use them for the body. A lot of the potential nutrition in the food you eat is wasted.

So, if you are going to eat, you may as well be healthy. Getting healthy, losing weight and being happy are as easy as eating at the same time every day. Eat three hot meals with lunch being the biggest meal. Your digestive system is the strongest between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Having lunch at 11:00 a.m. is the ideal time.

One of the most important things you can do is to increase your hunger in a way that burns off the fat in anything you eat throughout the day. The way to do that is to to do deep breathing exercises in the morning.

Ideally, you should go outside in the fresh air and do at least ten deep breaths: Stand up straight and breathe in through your nose as hard as you can for up to three or four seconds. Then breathe out as hard as you can through the nose for up to three or four seconds. This will strengthen your lungs, sharpen your brain and get your digestive system ready for the day.

If at all possible, it is a great idea to go for a walk between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. Try this: do ten to 100 deep breaths before you start walking. Then breathe normally while you walk for about 20 minutes... have you heard of runner's high? How about walker's high? I bet you get a real good feeling while you are walking.

Isn't that a great way to start the day? If you do the combination of deep breathing with walking early in the morning you will feel healthy, happy, alert and full of energy all day long! On top of that you will lose fat and stay young looking.

If you try this I would be excited to know your experiences. Just leave a comment below this post. It will inspire others to get healthy also.

10. Say NO! To Appetite Suppressants

I was skimming through some blogs on losing weight and I came across someone promoting a herb that suppressess the appetite. It sounds like a good idea because you are not using chemicals and you can reduce your food intake without hunger pangs...but it's not right. You'll wreck your digestive system!

According to Ayurveda having a strong hunger is a good thing. When you have a meal you should wait until it has completely digested before you eat anything else. That means you will be really hungry for the next meal.

If your digestive system is not strong the food won't digest completely and you won't feel really hungry. So, not feeling 'really' hungry means that your food isn't digesting properly. Food that is not digested properly is the root of most llnesses, according to Ayurved.

Also, hunger is the way your body tells you it needs nutrition. If you start suppressing your hunger with herbs or chemicals you are depriving your body of essential nutrients that it needs to function.

On top of that, your body's natural rhythm will be thrown out of balance. Your body operates on a natural hunger-food cycle that corresponds with nature. Ayurveda says your body will naturally become hungry from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. That's when your digestive system is the strongest.

Once your body's rhythm is not in tune with nature you start down a destructive cycle where you lose touch with your body, mind and emotions.

Losing touch with yourself is what got you fat in the first place. Using appetite suppressants virtually guarantees you will do it again.

And, as you have already seen, once your body is out of balance it's not easy to get it back into balance.

It IS possible to lose weight working with your body instead of trying to make it do un-natural things. If you have a problem with uncontrollable cravings read articles no. 4 to 8 on this blog.
