The trick to not consuming calories is how to reduce how much you eat without feeling hungry. I think the first step is to recognize the difference between not being completely full and actually being hungry. If your stomach isn't growling, you're not actually hungry, you just don't feel full. Another step is changing when you eat to reduce how much you eat. There are different ways to intermittent fast so find out which works for you and stick to it. A couple of easy ways to fast is to not eat in the morning because if you do, your stomach starts working. Let it sleep and eat later. Then at the end of the day, eat in the evening, close enough to bedtime that you're not hungry yet but long enough that you're not eating too close to bedtime. Most people can drink water in the morning to keep hydrated, without waking their stomach. When you start out, just push your eating times by an hour at a time until you get them to where you want them. You will likely feel like eating but you will get used to it and soon your body won't ask. So if you eat at 8pm and then don't eat breakfast until noon the next day, you've gone 16 hours without eating. About 12 hours after you eat, the food you ate is gone, and your body will start pulling energy from your fat cells to keep it going for those next 4 hours. This causes weight loss. Another step is which macro-nutrients you eat, fats, proteins, and carbs. When you eat carbs, your blood sugar rises and your body pushes the excess into your fat cells for future use. This causes weight gain. It also causes your blood sugar to go down and for you to feel hungry again. This is why you feel like snacking a couple of hours later even though it's not meal time yet and even though the sugar pushed into your fat cells hasn't been burned off yet. The other issue with carbs is that there is nothing in carbs that your body needs that it can't get from the other macro-nutrients as long as you're eating a variety of foods. When you eat proteins, your blood sugar doesn't rise as fast and you don't feel hungry as quickly so you might last until the next meal time before feeling hungry. Also, not as much of it is stored in your fat cells for later use. Your body does need proteins. You can look up online how many grams of protein you should eat each day. Your body also needs fats. When you eat fats, your blood sugar rises barely at all, it is not pushed into your fat cells for storage and you can go for many hours without feeling hungry. Of course, you need to ensure you are eating healthy fats and not unhealthy fats. Also, get enough fibre.
