i am trying to lose weight so whenever i feel hungry inbetween meals i eat fruit or low fat yogurt still finding it hard to lose weight
I hear ya!!! They say 5 servings of fruits and veggies a day, right? I've found drinking more water helps a lot. They say that sometimes, when we think we are hungry, we're actually dehydrated. Try drinking a few servings of water in between meals as well to ward off the hunger pangs. Also try seeing if you can make it through A hunger pang without eating anything (just one, OK?). This might take a few tries. Basically what you're looking for is the hunger going away. Your body can get used to regular eating habits. If you don't acknowledge a regular hunger pang, after a short while, your body may stop having them.
I think eating too much fruit depends on how well the individual processes the excess acid and sugar from fruit. And you'd have to eat a lot of potatoes (veggie) and banannas to get too much potassium. If you eat fruit for a really long period of time, it is possible, like anything to become sensitized, or allergic, to it, depending on the person. So you might want to take a break from the fruit every now and then to let your body wash any excess effects away. I've also heard that people with high blood pressure on high blood pressure medication shouldn't eat grapefruit. Don't know if that applies to you.
