Have been low carbing for 3 weeks now & it has been working well.
Been eating 16:8 as well.
Not been hungry & losing weight nicely.
Tonight I am hungry having eaten as much as usual.
I've had a family bereavement on Monday & I'm wondering if I'm actually hungry or just wanting to comfort eat.
How do I work out what to do - do I eat more or just ignore the feelings ?

I am sorry to hear of your loss. and yes, food can be a comfort. You could try a mug of bouillon perhaps to help ease the thought of food?

If you are hungry, eat. Just make sure that it is low carb and on your plan. One of the things that makes low carb work as a lifestyle is that you are not always hungry. I am sorry you are going through a loss, please take care of yourself.

My go-to comfort food is a hot coffee with lots of cream, and that has always been the case since childhood.
Sorry for your loss, and I hope all goes smoothly at the funeral.
