Eating Only When You’re Hungry – The Best Diet Plan?

May 4, 2010

I was talking recently with some people about dieting, and someone had a very interesting idea about how to always be at your ideal weight. Eat Only When You’re Hungry. And when you’re no longer hungry – just stop eating.
At first, I liked this suggestion. Because your body naturally wants to be at a healthy weight, it makes sense that if you only eat when you’re hungry that you’ll be at a good weight.
But after thinking about this a bit, I had a few issues with it:
1) If someone eats only when they’re hungry since they’re a kid – yea, it’ll work. The problem is what about someone who has overeaten for years and needs to lose weight? Their body is already used to eating a lot, so they’ll probably be hungry for more food than they need.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
