Menopause Hunger

“Doc, by the time I eat, I’m so hungry.”

She said as she rubbed her belly.

“Then I eat, and I feel miserable.”

This time she held her belly with both hands.

“Then I get so tired that I have to take a nap.”

I nod knowing what’s coming next.

“I know that it’s not good to eat before you go to sleep.”

“True,” I said.

“Then I wake and I’m hungry again.”

I hear this often.

This cycle is caused by low blood sugar…

Followed by high blood sugar…

Followed by low blood sugar…

This will cause weight gain.

And if you are middle-aged…

You don’t have the fat burning hormones you used to…

It will be nearly impossible to rid yourself of this extra weight.

Here is the 3 step technique I teach my clients.


Organic Component: The Mac Hormone Optimization Diet
The Mac Hunger Scale
STEP ONE
At this point in our program, you know what to eat.
You’ve been eating 3 meals a day with approximately 5 hours between breakfast and lunch…

And another 5 hours between lunch and dinner…

Today, I want to teach you when you should really eat…

How to eat…

And how much to eat.

Americans have been taught to eat three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Since most of you had no problem with this…

I did not break that belief system during the first phase of our program.

It’s wrong.

Nearly all of us have learned to eat according to the American school and work schedule…

Not our bodies’ schedule.

As you know every summer we take in foreign exchange students.

THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TAUGHT TO EAT THIS WAY!

Very rarely, are they overweight.

If we were taught what I am about to teach you…

We would probably not have the obesity problem we have in America.

Let’s begin!

Look at the graphic below.

I call it:

The Mac Hunger Scale

Let me explain it.

To the left of 0 is hunger.

To the right of 0 is satiation.

0 is neither being hungry nor being satiated.

-4 is being really hungry.

+4 is being really full.

The Mac HUnger Scale is easy.

You want to eat when you are at a -2, slightly hungry.
You should not eat at 0 or -1.
And we do not want to be a -3 or -4 on the hunger scale.
If your hunger reaches a -3 or -4…

Your blood sugar has become low.

We will more than likely to overeat…
And we will eat too quickly…
The negative side of the scale indicates how low you are on fuel.
The positive symbol indicates how much fuel you have.
So!
How do you know when you are at -2?
You will feel a slight rumble in your tummy.
When you are at -3, you will have a lot of tummy rumblings and feel slightly light-headed.
When you are at -4, you will have lots of tummy rumblings, definitely feel light-headed,
Maybe even have a have a slight headache and be trembling.
It is important to find your -2 and to learn to have fuel readily available…
When you reach that point.
So! When do you eat? 
When you are at a -2, slightly hungry.
STEP TWO.
Now that you know when to eat…

You need to know how to eat…

You need to learn to take small bites.

AND

Chew the life out of your food.
Remember when Mom used to tell you to chew your food?
She was right again.
There are enzymes in your saliva…
That need to be infused into your food…
For proper digestion.
Without proper digestion…
The nutrients in the food…
Will not be extracted from the food.

Guess what?

If you chew your food …

You’ll supply more nutrients to your body…

And have less hunger.

When your body is low in nutrients…

Your body will fake hunger.

It’s called nutrient hunger.

You must learn to take your time…
If you eat slower…
When you have enough…
Your brain shuts down the release of the hunger hormones.
If you eat quickly…

You beat the satiation signal the brain sends…

To shut the production of the hunger hormones down.

Enjoy your food…

Take time to eat

And…

CHEW THE LIFE OUT OF IT!

STEP THREE

The next step to learn is to know when to stop eating.
You have to learn to stop eating at the +2 mark of The Mac Hunger Scale.
At 0, you are neither hungry nor full.
At +1, you are mildly satiated.
At +2, you are slightly satiated.
At + 3, you are moderately satiated.
At +4, you are severely satiated to the point of feeling ill.

+4 is what most people feel after a Thanksgiving meal.

Once you learn to stop eating at +2,
Your excess fat will begin to dissipate.
You will reach the +2 mark much sooner than you think.
In fact, Vicky and I learned that the +2 mark occurs… 
With half of the food we thought.
This led us to start sharing meals when eating out.

You have just experienced a small section of one of the e-classes found in The HOPE Protocol e-Course.

If you are more than 20 pounds overweight…

If you have tried to lose weight…

You’ve cut your calories…

And joined a gym…

To only find that you continued to gain weight…

Then, you most likely have a hormonal imbalance.

The HOPE Protocol is all about balancing your internal chemistry…
