[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 1896188, member: 480869"] I’d agree to dump the toast and sandwich. Its creating a roller coaster, and likely what’s making you hungry a couple of hours later. There is literally no benefit to eating it that you can’t nutritionally get elsewhere. It will mean rethinking quick food when out and about. Lots of suggestions above and Ditchthecarb.com have a packed lunch support page on Facebook book and section on their website. Yes it’s aimed for school lunches but a packed lunch is a packed lunch whoever it’s for. I don’t take meds but please be sure to know if any you take could possibly cause a hypo as obviously you’d need to check before driving and notify dvla but I’m sure you already know this. If you’re not on those and you don’t eat, the worst that’ll happen is you’ll be hungry. (Also known as fasting) Eating sufficient fat in your diet and being low carb will make this less likely once used to it, and it’ll also mean a small low carb snack will satisfy you easier. And if you’re being proactive you’ll be monitoring a fair bit in these early days of change anyway and spot anything worrisome. Lastly you mentioned being unsure how you feel in terms of hunger etc. It’s very easy to mistake routine, boredom or thirst for hunger. It’s worth taking some time (at weekends if necessary) to really try and sort these different sensations by trial and error of solutions that aren’t food. Upping water intake is essential on low carb anyway. [/QUOTE]
