Less proportion but hungry still

Okay let me just explain I’m staying as far away from carbs due to my diabetes.

Believe it or not I found a happy medium.

I wast my scrambled egg for my 730 breakfast. Then at 9- I eat my little thing of raspberries, blackberries, blueberries & grapes. Then at about 1030 I have my banana. I eat my hearty lunch (usually my healthy dinner from the night before - today I had chicken and cabbage yummy!) at 115 and I eat dinner at 530. Then I’m done and okay!

I do keep sunflower seeds ...to have something in my mouth....

But I’m so ecstatic on a fb group- I got a treadmill to pick up this weekend! I’m putting it in my bedroom and will be hauling but on it!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

I appreciate the help u guys have been giving

1. I’m embarrassed of my weight-
2. I’m 5’1
3. I want to lose 50-60lbs in the next few months (I know totally crazy but big goals.... right?)

I work at a desk job but I’m a supervisor so I’m VERY busy‼️‼️

How many calories are you trying to eat? That could be too low.

Also, carbs include fruit, and although I personally find fruit pretty filling, many people find it not filling, and even less filling to them than starchy carbs (like whole grains, potatoes, beans/lentils).

Have you seen a dietitian who specializes in diabetes? I'd ask for that. My understanding, though, is that carbs on their own without being combined with, say, protein is not recommended.

Anyway, I usually eat eggs in the morning, but would find just scrambled eggs not filling -- especially if you are eating only one or two. What I do is have a couple of eggs with vegetables (I do an omelet, but scrambled would work) + some cottage cheese or greek yogurt (if you do lowfat it's a great protein source and really bumps up what the vegs give you).

I'm not hungry before lunch, but if you are maybe try a few different things that have less carbs, more protein rather than just fruit to see if it helps. Vegetables are easy (they also make meals feel much bigger if you eat a lot of them). Nuts are something to try. Greek yogurt or cottage cheese with the berries. Nutbutter. Maybe a protein shake with some of the fruit in it. Tons of options.

Fruit is good for you, but it might be better to eat it with a meal/snack where you have protein too.

Some find they need starchy carbs to fill satiated too, and beans/lentils and potatoes (obv not fried) can be very satiating for many, and would work like fruit where you'd want to eat them with a source of protein and, for the potatoes, some additional fiber like from veg. Not saying this is you, there are many other possible factors, but I'd again recommend talking to a diabetes specialist dietitian.
