[QUOTE="Beating-My-Betes, post: 2473608, member: 532959"] I'd suggest having a look into the work of Barbara Rolls and volumetrics. While it is essentially a theoretical foundation/explanation for how/why many of those that follow the various whole-food, plant-based diets can effortlessly lose weight, it is not in essence a vegan/plant-based plan. Part of satiation signalling comes from stretch-receptors in our stomachs and guts, and what most of us equate as being "full-up" is literally being full enough to engage those stretch-receptors to signal time to stop eating. And it's why the ultra-processing of foods (removal of fibre, water etc.), in reducing the bulk:calorie ratio is so problematic for weight gain i.e by the time the belly is full enough to naturally mute hunger, energy needs have far been surpassed. But if one can reach that state of fullness from foods that are still replete with water and fibre, then satiety can be achieved at a lesser energetic load One of the big advantages of keto is that it comes with an appetite-nulling affect, which makes sense in an evolutionarily-appropriate context. It can be easy for many to achieve satiation even if energy requirements are unmet, and is why it can be great for many as a weight-loss tool. However, it doesn't work for everyone. I am one of those people who didn't get along with keto. Aside from a general feeling of nausea after meals (Fat, in general, does that for me), I found that the lack of satiety signalling from actually being full meant that even though I felt satiated in one sense there was a small, but constant nagging emptiness. And as someone who has at various points in my life, been prone to emotional/boredom-eating, it was a bad match. If one is prone to the same, then the fact that fat is the most calorically-dense of all the macros makes it a very risky place to be in, as over-eating can involve exponentially larger quantities of calories Ultimately, I think that the first thing to recognise is that any way-of-eating can be undermined if food is being used as an emotional crutch. Concentrating on the HbA1C is putting the proverbial cart before the horse. Is your Husband in therapy? Does he even recognise his emotional eating patterns? [/QUOTE]
