[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 2472953, member: 368709"] Hi there Your hubby is not alone with issues of portion control. There are many who struggle with moderation in any form - one of the reasons standard dietary advice often fails. Personally I have found that sticking to simple, natural foods - mostly meat, fish and eggs - helps to a) make me feel full and b) reduce cravings for ‘sweets and treats’. Foods that are higher in carbs and sugar (including fruit) are not so satiating and can drive hunger. I totally get the nut consumption - they’re one of my trigger foods and the size of the bag is generally the size of the portion, so I don’t keep them at home and restrict how often I buy them when out and about. I’d say that encouraging him to join this community himself would be a big help. It’s anonymous and asking his own questions might help him to embrace new ways of approaching eating and food. There’s a great thread on here with an informative (and fun) video in the first post which he might find useful: [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/food-addiction-and-diabetes.156651/[/URL] I’d also recommend this website, run by Dr Jen Unwin, a psychologist interested in food addiction (through personal experience as much as anything - she’s presenting the video in the thread above): [URL]https://forkintheroad.co.uk/[/URL] She’s also written a book of the same name: [URL='https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fork-Road-Hopeful-Guide-Freedom/dp/B08XX4ZH3F/ref=sr_1_1?crid=LB7PU8UHSNF3&keywords=fork+in+the+road+jen+unwin&qid=1640954199&sprefix=Fork%2Caps%2C72&sr=8-1']https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fork-Road-Hopeful-Guide-Freedom/dp/B08XX4ZH3F/ref=sr_1_1?crid=LB7PU8UHSNF3&keywords=fork+in+the+road+jen+unwin&qid=1640954199&sprefix=Fork,aps,72&sr=8-1[/URL] There’s also a room on Clubhouse every Wednesday at 6pm which is helpful.
