man, kollel101, if you don’t want to gain weight, you better do something fast! Eating late night snack (sorry, fooooood) is really not healthy, and not healthy means you are abusing your body! See a nutritionist, or (don’t be afraid)maybe peek and pick out a diet-there’s so many out there.
3 Eitzos:
for starters, drink alot during the day, and with meals. no, not booze, water! (I drink tons of WATER too BTW)sometimes the body THINKS it’s hungry but really needs to drink.
Also brush your teeth, this helps btw.
Thirdly, you can eat and eat and eat, and still be hungry. how? if what you’re eating is not healthy, you can be eating for an hour straight, but your body is screaming (that’s the hunger you feel)”I need nutrition!!!” Just because you ATE doesn’t automatically mean you will FEEL FULL! If you supply your body with vegetables, fruit, proteins, etc, stuff that your BODY needs, not what your BRAIN needs, then you will feel satisfied. Hatzlochah rabbah!
