[QUOTE="AliB, post: 96700, member: 16907"] Why don't you try upping your fat intake a bit so that you are more satisfied for longer? Interestingly 'the anticarb' found that going low-carb actually suppressed his appetite. Are you going low enough? I understand where you are coming from with the veg, as I have never been an avid fan, but then the Inuit etc., don't eat much, if anything in the way of veg and they are all slim, fit and healthy (and not diabetic!). They do eat lots of fish and some meat, but at least half their diet comes from fats, mainly blubber and fish oils. I know we can't get hold of blubber :lol:, but fats can be increased - coconut oil, my favourite is fantastic stuff - one of the few sources of medium chain triglycerides - it can even help with weight loss (and weight gain where needed). Butter, ghee and olive oil can be used along with coconut oil in cooking, and cold-pressed nut and seed oils can be used as salad dressings (apparently oil on salads helps us to absorb the lipid-based vitamins and minerals in the salad). Perhaps you could experiment in making your own salad dressings with oil, vinegars and spices, etc., and that might make eating salads more interesting! I find that if I get enough fats during the day, I no longer have the urge to snack or nibble, or even eat after my dinner so I go to bed with normal sugars, which is great. [/QUOTE]
