Do you ever get that feeling like you are starving again right after you have just finished a meal? Well, this is how I’ve pretty much felt my entire life.
I’ve always had a huge appetite ever since I was a baby (my mother still talks about how much I used to scream and drive her crazy, HA!) and it intensified when I became infected with parasites and Candida overgrowth over the past couple years. I literally didn’t start to control my hunger in between meals until several months ago while cleansing my body to rid myself of those pests and then things finally started to improve a bit.
I’m still working on the whole parasite/candida thing and making some great progress, but I still struggle with hunger right after a meal from time to time and have to work hard to manage hunger levels. Another big thing I’ve been trying to overcome for quite some time is eating out of boredom, that’s when the hunger monster really creeps up on me!
My goal for some time now is to try to go for longer stretches of time between meals. Which for anyone who has trouble digesting their food should know it’s important that you don’t eat your meals too close together to let your digestive system focus on fully digest your food and also so food doesn’t start fermenting in your belly. This is how one can get a bacterial or candida overgrowth in the gut, and let me tell you from experience…that ain’t fun! Combine poor digestion plus the fact that when we eat out of boredom or because we constantly feel hungry, that’s a bad combo that will allow the pounds to really start to creep up on us. No thank you!
So lately, I’ve been using this amazing essential oil blend by DoTerra called Slim and Sassy in my water to sip on between meals. It’s really helped me a ton lately by reducing my crazy hunger cravings and helped me to stay fuller longer. That’s a big deal for me! It contains lemon and grapefruit which are natural detoxifiers, and ginger, peppermint and cinnamon which are great for digestion, boosting weight loss and metabolism. I was skeptical about this strange flavor combination at first, but the taste is really quite good AND since using it I can go for a stretch of about 3-4 hours without craving my next meal or wanting to eat out of boredom.
It’s also helped me to create somewhat of a “water game” so that I get enough water in during the day. Between the Slim and Sassy and the extra water, I feel confident that my body is flushing out toxins left and right! And, since toxins are stored in our fat cells, I will take all of the help I can get.
