What if I'm always hungry and can't seem to lose weight?

I know dieting is hard!
Sometimes - the hunger can get to you and make you feel like sticking with your diet is impossible. Well - I'm here to tell you that it is possible! We simply have to find a way to "trick" your stomach into feeling full - without overshooting your caloric goal.
The secret is to eat low calorie, high volume foods. One cup of spinach, for example, has 7 calories, while one cup of peanut butter has a whopping 1,500 calories! See the difference here? So try to find foods that have very few calories per serving and stuff your face (yup - I mean it) with those.

My favorite low calorie food?
Celery - a whole stalk of celery contains fewer than 6 calories - and, when you account the amount of energy your body uses to metabolize the celery, it actually has negative calories...meaning you can burn calories by eating Celery!

You'll soon realize that foods like these make staying on track with your caloric goal much, much easier and manage those hunger cravings.
