Do you ever arrive home from a long day very hungry? Perhaps you worked through lunch and when you get home you grab anything you can to satisfy your empty stomach. By the time dinner is ready your appetite is gone. You filled up on foods that might have tasted good, if you ate slow enough to taste them, but were devoid of nutrition. Your stomach is full, but you cheated your body. You eat anything because it serves the purpose of filling your stomach and then you expect your body to perform at peak condition.
Eating well is easier than you think; you just need to take a minute to plan. Have a few snacks easy to grab when you walk in the door. Reach for protein such as hard-boiled eggs, cheese, or a slice of the deli ham you use for sandwiches. These foods will calm the starving feeling and they will not cause a spike in your insulin level so you will not be tempted to eat too much; you can easily stop with one egg and a piece of cheese. If you start with snack foods, they will call to you until the bag is finished. Save the sweet and salty foods for when you can eat them slowly and really enjoy them.
