[QUOTE="Hedonista, post: 903689, member: 156026"] I had similar feelings when I started on this - not long ago, just at the beginning of this year. I wasn't particularly into junk food (although I liked it) but I was very happy as a luscious, hungry, fat woman who ate whatever she liked and enjoyed every morsel. It was a decades long antidote to tortured dieting in my twenties and early thirties, where I stayed thin through starving! It has also always felt important to me to be adaptable - to be able to go out into the world and find what I need rather than planning and lugging stuff with me, and the thought that every day out and weekend away would require planning, pre-cooking and packing made my heart sink. Anyway, turned out I was wrong. The beauty of LCHF for me is that I never feel deprived, I eat delicious, luscious food every day (and still lose weight). I've eaten out a few times and still managed to have lots of lovely food - oh the joy of asking for extra cream or cheese!! I've also managed fine out and about, even if lunch has consisted of slices of ham and cheese rolled up together and eaten as I drive along! I've even eaten a MacDonalds - discarding the bun and eating the rest and I have to say, messy though it was, it was delicious. But what's happened for me is that actually, eating the right food at last, I find my hunger is less urgent and compelling, my appetite reduced and my cravings virtually gone. I eat two or three good LCHF meals a day, I eat til I'm full and I rarely get hungry in between, want snacks, or crave food that's not good for me. I'm still fat, but I'm getting thinner by the week, not only because of the food I'm eating, but because I'm now so full of energy I walk further and faster everyday and occasionally break into a wobbly jog. I'm happy, I'm well, I still stuff my face. Life is good ;-) [/QUOTE]
