Control your hunger during the day so you don't binge (overeat) when you do eat! Do this by eating small meals every 3-4 hours (never skip breakfast) to keep your metabolism ramped up.
Another way to control your hunger pangs is to eat protein with every meal. You don't need to do protein shakes...just eat the right foods. Research has proven that protein keeps blood sugar levels more steady and helps you feel fuller for a longer period (slower digestion). Protein also keeps the hunger hormone (ghrelin) in check so your hunger doesn't spike so high.
The addition of foods that contain protein will generally reduce the glycemic index of the meal.
Good sources of protein are: lean meats (like chicken and beef), fish, nuts, seeds, diary products, legumes, soy products and veggies.
If you feel fuller for longer periods, you will eat less and you won't binge eat if your hunger pangs are "not out the roof" when you do eat!
