Do you eat even when you are not hungry?

Quite often we tend to eat even when we are not hungry. That really is bad for us and that is when we put on weight. If we can curb the tendency to eat without really being hungry, we can be more healthy.

Yes, I have a very bad habit of eating even if I'm not hungry. I got used to it because when I was college I don't have a regular mealtime since my class schedule was erratic. I also get up really late and I usually don't eat breakfast. Until I still do it but I try my best to stop it. I don't want my weight to get out of hand. I do exercise 3x a week. I hope that helps.

I had a very hectic schedule so I did not have time to cook or even worse when I could, I stop at a fast food restaurant and eat. Of course I got a lot of weight. A friend suggested to do the Smart for Life cookie diet and I did. The first month I lost 12 pounds. I lost overall 43 pounds and I have mantained it for more than a year. These cookies are amazing. I did not have to refrigerate them or cook them, they were always available. I did not feel hungry at all. They have fiber, complex carbohydrate and protein. Check it out http://www.smartforlife.com

yes, specially if it's yummy and crispy like the fried chicken of jollibee and all forms of chocolates. I really craves chocolates the reason why i still eat junk foods even my stomach is already full. I just can't discipline myself eating chocolate..but anyway my teeth are all okay and alright because i also knew how to take good care of my tooth.

I can always tell when I'm bored or upset, I constantly eat. The only problem with your theory is that even when I'm not hungry my blood sugar plummets and I get dizzy - if I eat, I feel better, hungry or not. Additionally, I barely touch ninety pounds despite how much I eat... so your theory is a fairly accurate generalization but not one hundred percent.

I snack sometimes, but usually I will just get way more food then I need and pig out. I really must cut this habit down.

I find that I snack quite often so I never get extremely hungry. I do try to eat a lot of fruit and stuff like granola bars and such though when I am snacking. I try not to just fill up on junk food. I am no health freak or anything but as I have gotten older my body just can't take a day full of eating nothing but junk food any longer.
