Question

Started WW a little over 2 weeks ago. Feels like I'm starving to death. Any suggestions on appetite suppression?  

Answer 1

So many free foods to eat! Add veggies to scrambled eggs for breakfast (my favorites are spinach and mushrooms). Make enough grilled chicken for dinner to give you leftovers for lunch. Find low-point wraps and have chicken and slaw mix in it. Mix sugar-free Jello w/ plain fat-free Greek yogurt for a delicious snack and NO points (orange is heavenly, but all flavors are good).  

Answer 2

First couple weeks are the hardest. I would make the 2 ingredient dough and eat breadsticks/pretzel bites.  

Answer 3

Apples and chamomile tea

Answer 4

When I went to classes I felt the exact same way. They told me to eat more protein and it seemed to help some.  

Answer 5

Protein and water.  

Answer 6

Water! :)

Hard boiled eggs are great! If you start feeling hunger, try eating one. It’ll hold you over for a little bit. Focus on your zero point foods, It’s okay to eat them if you feel like you’re starving.

Answer 31

Warm drinks. warm tea, coffee or broth. You are not starving it is in your head. Accept that and comfort yourself with a warm tummy

Answer 32

I started on blue but now I’m on purple

Answer 33

I felt that at the beginning as well. I feel that once your stomach shrinks a little it gets better. I rarely feel that way now about a month and half later

Answer 34

Water! Drinking water kills that hunger feeling. Also I moved to purple because oatmeal and whole grain pasta are on there as free and that helps sustain me a bit longer! Good luck.  

Answer 35

Eat more lean protein and supplement with zero point foods

Answer 47

Build your meals using 0 point proteins and vegetables add in good healthy carbs.  

Answer 48

Add 1 tbsp Hemp hearts to each meal. Like at breakfast sprinkle on FF yogurt or oatmeal. Lunch, add it to salad or a smoothie. Dinner blend it with soup or into 1/3 cup mashed potatoes. Hemp helps me control my appetite and it makes my skin look fabulous.

Answer 52

When I started I ate a lot of hard boiled eggs because they were easy to grab and filling. Also make sure you are drinking water

Answer 53

In the beginning I was very hungry. Your body has to get used to eating less food. Find 0 or low point snacks that you like. I have fruit or Dannon Fit and Light Greek yogurt on hand. Also, find a breakfast that helps you feel full. I like oatmeal with fruit or Premier protein drink.

Answer 65

Fruit, veggies, chicken, tuna and eggs are all 0 points, there’s no reason to feel starved. FOR ME cutting out sugar has kept me from always being hungry.  

Comments

@omophagia on green chicken, tuna and eggs count! It would be nice if they did not

Answer 66

Don’t worry. It gets better. I find the first few weeks the hardest until my stomach shrinks. Zero point foods and protein helps

Answer 67

I would think it’s very hard to start WW right now. Lots of fruit and veggies! And be kind to yourself!  

Answer 68

Drink more water, have an apple.  

Answer 69

Hard boiled eggs, Crunchmaster crackers with Laughing Cow cheese spread, tangerines & bananas

Answer 70

Premier protein shakes are great. 2sp only and they cut the cravings.  

Answer 71

Follow old fashioned food rules - fill the plate with vegetables. And I know fruit and eggs have points, but eat - it is important not to feel hungry. An egg and a cut up apple do it for me for a snack. and deviled eggs with just a bit of low fat mayo is great. Find a veg that you actually really like - for me it is cucumber and eat buckets of them. Have protein at every meal if you can - at least twice a day. Eat the whole chicken breast. I love frozen berries with a couple of glops of yogurt - and virtually no points if you choose the right yogurt. Make sure you have some fat in your diet. for both health and satiation. This is what has worked for me -- on purple, and not hungry--- good luck

Answer 72

It maybe head hungry like a lot of us have. Maybe more

Answer 73

Vegetables or more protein and don’t forget your fat.  

Answer 74

Drink plenty of water. Helps you feel full.  

Answer 75

Eat more proteins and use Yr points  that’s my experience.  

Answer 76

I agree. I'm on blue and I dont think it's enough food (not referring to fruit and vegetables). 23 points is not much and I have a small appetite compared to everyone I know.  

Answer 77

It does get better ! I remember feeling that way too . try and Exercise as much as you can as well. They say protein is the key, idk , but yes veggies and eggs even mixed together lol I would make egg white veggie omelette for lunch and enjoy it with a low calorie rice cake. I also think if you plan out your meals the day before or even if u can do a few days of trying to figure out what you will have a it sounds nuts but it helps! Clementines are great to snack on - stay away from anything white aka carbs !  now I’m gonna follow this advice the rest of the week as well ! Have been so off track . I wish you well ♥️

Answer 78

Water, water, water, veggies, fruit do something to get your mind off the hunger

Answer 79

Drink water like it’s your job!  

Answer 80

Like @rodolphe says, an add greens. Have your fill of chicken for breakfast lunch or dinner or a snack. There are so many protein snacks and things to have chili is one of my all-time favorites and it's almost no point at all, look up the Weight Watchers recipes check out the points and pick the ones you like! This really does work

Answer 90

Soup. lots of it, any. Time of day

Answer 91

Try another plan like purple Or check out green. I tried all 3 . Im now doing purple . less points but more Zero pts . carbs like Popcorn and Potatoes and Eggs.  

Answer 92

Also for myself I found that too many artificial sweeteners and FF foods actually increased my hunger and or cravings just a thought

Answer 93

Eat a lot of fruit and/or veggies at each meal. Will help you feel full. Try to occupy yourself and it will help distract you from the hunger.  

Answer 94

It is always harder when you first start, especially if you were used to eating a lot, like me. Drink water, and eat free point foods like veggies until you get more used to it. Its always hard when you begin but soon it will get a lot better and easier and you'll feel less hungry. Good luck!  

Answer 95

It’s ok to eat your Weeklies.

Popcorn! A big bowl and some tea and you’ll be full

Answer 97

Comments

@venireman, Well I'm sorry! I didn't realize there were 200 zero point items. I guess I didn't count exactly how many there were.

Answer 99

Eat more protein. Chicken and eggs are zero points. Fill up on those.  

Answer 100

I am on the green plan and do not feel deprived . I can’t stay on a plan like blue or purple right now. Green is more balanced . Maybe I will switch to blue or purple in the future .  

Answer 101

Focus on high protein, ( eggs, lean meats, a few almonds) high fiber foods. ( veggies, fruits ( within reason), and when you think you are starving, drink water and go for a walk. you're not starving - you're just bored, retreating into bad habits and thirsty. You can do this!  

Answer 102

Beans - easy to throw a can of black beans and diced tomatoes or salsa and some seasonings to liven up.

Answer 112

Eat more protein

Answer 113

Low point soups helped me a ton in the beginning because they filled me up (veggie soup or healthy tortilla soup) and I’d eat it for a snack or a 4th meal. It helped tremendously. Also just know that your stomach will adjust and you will not be this hungry all the time. Also, maybe more water? You can do this!  

Answer 114

I was hungry all the time when I started. Food was all I thought about. Eat lots of protein, cut up veggies to have on hand and drink lots of water! It does get better as your body adjusts to smaller amounts of food. Good luck!

---

@rika67505 Cullen I’ll send you the hot & sour. It’s fabulous exactly like the Chinese restaurant

@rika67505 Cullen I use 4 cans of minced clams and their juice, plus 1 bottle of clam juice, celery, some grated carrots, 2 of the smaller cans of diced tomatoes.

Answer 118

Lots of water, veggies, fruit, I a lot of times will eat canned kidney beans I know the salt content is not great but still you can buy the low-salt ones, eggs, I keep light string cheese on hand which is one point per stick, I also eat sugar-free applesauce the flavored ones or Greek yogurt flavored with pretzels (the applesauce or yogurt paired with pretzels is usually about five points if you do the 2-point yogurt and the pretzels if you do pretzels and sugar-free applesauce it's three points).  

Comments

I also like to keep the little gherkin pickles in the house.

@athletics I learned this years ago in WW to rinse the beans or rinse other stuff and that reduces the sodium
