Do you think that eating while you are not hungry is better than eating while you are hungry?

I have not been feeling the urge to eat lately, and i have been loosing weight a lot! but im never hungry, i just eat to eat because im either bored at work or afraid to die from empty stomach LOL

Should we eat when we are hungry or not??

LOL! Funny :thumbup:

are you mocking me :biggrin:

Heavens no... Heartburn and its causes ain't funny.

(Okay, maybe a little.. but only because of the irony. :thumbup:)

W/me work and school schedule, 3 meals a day doesn't work for me. So, I've broken it in 5 to 6 small meals/healthy Snacks a day. By healthy snack, I mean 1 light mozzarella string cheese stick w/a small can (30 calories) of low-sodium v-8 juice.

Sometimes I'm not hungry, so I don't eat. But I listen to my body. There are times I won't feel hungry, but I'll get headaches and/or feel shaky. In those cases I'll grab a small snack.

Listen to your body. If you don't feel hungry and you don't feel any effects from not eating, then don't eat. However, if you don't feel hungry, but feel physical effects of being hungry (headaches, shaky) then just grab a small snack, not a full meal.

I eat when I'm hungry and don't eat when I'm not for the most part. The only time I force myself to eat is right before I work out because I know I'll need the energy.

I've gone whole days only having a cup of coffee in the morning and maybe a burger in the evening, and other days when I know I ate too much. IMO your body will tell you if it needs food.
