The need to swallow and a bad experience on 1 day protein

Are you possibly deaf or have difficulty hearing? I don't mean that sarcastically. I mean, when you were born could you hear?

[bold]I really don't remenber lol. [/bold] But yes, i guess yes i could hear.

Portuguese.

Brilliant response, OP!!!

Sometimes I choke a bit when I feel the need to swallow, but I don't consider it a bad experience per say.

How YOU doin?

I couldn't not click on this.

In my case i just need to control my anxiety and stressfull moments.

I guess what I hear you saying is that when you are stressed out or anxious you feel the need to not only chew quite a lot but also to swallow? So you might be looking for foods that are quite dense and require lots of chew but that you need not spit out like gum. Perhaps nuts? I have to chew so much when I eat nuts that my sides of my head swell and become tense. It's a rare condition that I don't have time to look up now but being that it only happens with nuts I'd venture to guess that is the food that will give you the most "chew" for your cals. Raw almonds in particular. Then I would definitely swallow them and then I would also supplement that with drinking something at the same time for more swallow.

I guess you might be asking if this is normal? and my gut response is to say, no, I don't think it is. I think you might want to look into eating disorders and see if it falls under that category and otherwise the oral fixation mentioned above might be a place to focus your research. another possibility that might not seem to go but might be at play here may be OCD. just because you say you feel you need to repeat these behaviors over and over again. please look into this with a professional.

If you think it's a protein versus carbs situation, I would want to ask if the protein you are consuming is in the form of shakes? THerefore no chew? If so there are so many chewy sources of protein like the obvious meats, but also protein bars and as I said nuts. If it's a simple problem of you trying to go all protein one day via shakes and no carbs then yes that would be totally normal as per my experience to feel unsatisfied if all your calories were gained by drinking them. I would make sure you meet your protein goals with at least some solid foods and I would not just go all protein for any amount of days but would balance with carbs not only to provide you something to chew and swallow but just to make you satiated and having a well rounded healthy eating day.

Hope any of this helps. :flowerforyou:

I can't even...

Title of this thread. Pure genius! Best title evah!!! :drinker: even if it's bait & switch :laugh:

Good luck OP! And personally, I love casein protein shakes. They're so thick and filling. Not sure if that helps, but since you're trying to up your protein intake, mentioned it.

It's a myth that it's mostly protein. It's actually mostly carbs.

Oh wait, I just now read the OP.

Still...

Are you on some type of medication by chanse? Id sounds like a unwhanted side effect?

Wow. just wow!

I work with a lady who chews things (i.e chocolate cake) but doesn't swallow it.

Whoa...I totally thought this thread was about something else!

Sorry guys I just HAVE to take a stab at translating this

Hello,

Like i said in some post that i have a problem eating protein. Normally Its around 40gr, and that isn't my goal at all! It's much higher.


So, i was searching and searching and decided to do one day of all protein! I started saturday to sunday and... in the beginning it was a only a little wierd, but by the afternoon i found I HAD to eat two pieces of cake (made with yogurt). Then after dinner (which of course consisted of protein as per my goals), I ate (sitdown please, as this might shock you), chocolate chips, dark bread with nutella and then I finished with two more pieces of cake with butter, and hot milk with coffee!!!

It was incredible! I feel full but I feel the need for chewing and chewing and after that I must swallow! [unsure if this is some type of "diet" where the OP thinks she can get away with chewing her food and then not swallowing it as per a previous poster who thought she could spit her food and not retain the cals.] And this happens a lot. Sometimes I know I'm full but i just like to feel the sensation of swallowing after chewing the foods I'm trying to not eat but just chew to get the flavor of. What is the purpose of swallow and chew? What is happening to me? Why can't I do this crazy diet I heard of where you do not swallow your food.

And why do I eat lots of carbs at night? It was just one day of protein, not five days of carb deprivation to have that reaction!

Thank you

FIFY :flowerforyou: [i think]

Do you have the recipe for the protein cake? Thanks in advance!

Not a barrier. Share away. A good number of us on here are multilingual.

and a few of us are even mutlipersonalitual
