What made a huge difference for me is lowering my intake of carbohydrates and transitioning to a lower carb and higher fat diet. I think the way it works is that our bodies have a lot of energy available from fat stores and becoming more fat-adapted means that during fasting hunger is satiated by energy coming from fat.
- talkingtab 7y agoI agree with this completely. For some of us carbs generate craving - they are addictive. The way to test if you are one is to stop all carbs, as much as you can. If I eat a doughnut I gain a pound, not because of the doughnut, but because I then crave more food.
- roland35 7y agoYes I have heard that fat has gotten a bad reputation in recent history - it is carbs which are the problem. It looks like bread, rice and cereal is still at the base of the food pyramid! Protein also seems to be better at keeping satisfied after a meal, although that can be harder to do cooking at home if you don't do meat.
