Conquering Midday Cravings
By Dr. Ann Louise Gittleman on 09/24/2009
Q: I've been bringing frozen “diet” lunches to work for weeks, but an hour after eating, I'm starving. I've even started stealing coworkers' snacks from the refrigerator! The other day I heard somebody mention the “kitchen thief,” and I wanted to crawl under my desk. I'm afraid I'm just too lazy to lose! What can I do?
A: Ditch the frozen entrees and eat something that actually satisfies your hunger. Try stocking your cupboards with single-serving cans of chicken or tuna, along with snack-size bags of almonds or sunflower seeds. In the A.M., just grab and go-and toss in a hard-boiled egg for good measure: its six grams of protein stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent the dips that set off midafternoon hunger pangs.

I believe a Veterinary named John Symes has discovered an answer to your problem. He found that Gluten in wheat rye and barley and casein in milk coat your gut so that you do not absorb nutrients. Nutrient deficiency causes hunger and a litany of other problems. See dogtorj.net..Clint
