[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2579127, member: 85785"] I am in keto, and no hunger pangs, craving, raiding the fridge, hunting in the cupboard. It does take a little time the lower carb you go and the more satiating, satisfying natural fats you eat. Meanwhile, take away the temptation, empty the cupboard, the fridge of those temptations, and like others have suggested, low carb small meals. There is also intermittent fasting. Whichever way you choose to do it. You may find like I did, that sticking to meal times, is just illogical. Why,? Well, it's all to do with there should not be a hard static time to eat, flexibility, eat your meals when you want, get rid of the meals terms in your head, eat when you want, don't if you want! Eating all the time every day is just in my experience and opinion, stupid and illogical! I have no doubt like I did, you will get good days, like you have posted today, which is great, a positive outlook, optimism, taking it easier on yourself. There will be dark days. It's not easy to get outof, you just want to stay in bed, or go to your safe place, block the world out. It is having the tools to alleviate those feelings, my first thought when I feel really rough is to look forward and believe that I'm doing the right things despite the feeling. I am getting better and tomorrow is gonna be a better day. you might also find, that on certain days, the knocks keep coming, your partner is in a similar mood or angry, or if you have kids, they play on you, or the news isn't good, and more. Then that is the real time to get away from it. Go for a walk, go to your quiet place, your safe place, even go to bed, watch television, play your music, play a game, do something, to take the edge off the low mood. Whatever you do, it you continue to have bad days. Speak to your GP, talk to someone when you are ready. Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
