hunger pains

Question

thank you

Answer
Your best bet is to eat 6 small meals a day and try to keep hunger out of the equation!  It is when hunger hits that you tend to eat more than you should and not eat the right foods.  Eating 6 small meals a day, about every 3-4 hours depending on your schedule, keeps your blood sugar levels stable and keeps you from feeling hungry.  Of course those meals need to be from the food groups and consist of healthy, well-balanced foods.
