Hungry On Low-Fat Diet

Q: I wrote question 684 and 685 (sorry should have mentioned that) during the day I eat normal good foods, low cal, low fat, but like I said, at night I'm starving. I usually crave and want brownies, cookies, pizza, all that bad stuff I cut out of my diet. At night, the healthy foods just don't satisfy me. Any sugestions?

A: Don't eat only low-fat foods. Healthy fats like olive oil or fatty fish (like salmon) or nuts and flax seed are not only good for you, including for fat loss, but they will also keep you satisfied for longer. As one of your last meals, have a generous chicken breast salad with a tablespoon of olive oil, for example. A fat-free or a very low-fat diet is not healthy in long term and will lead to hunger like you're experiencing.

The other thing is that it's OK to cheat and have something sweet once in a while. Something like one cookie you can eat every day even.
