    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...

    Fellow ESL speaker here. I understood your post just fine.

    You don't have to be eating all protein. Have balanced meals (protein, carbs and fats). What is your goal? Maintaining muscle while losing weight? Are you doing any resistance training?

    As for the chewing and swallowing, let's just call that process eating. What is your calorie goal? If you set that too low, and restrict yourself from eating anything other than protein you will get cravings and have a harder time controlling them.

    Mindless eating is never good. Figure out if it happens because of your diet being too restrictive on a day to day basis or if it's mindless eating because you're sad/bored/anxious/whatever.

    Feel free to ask any questions you might have about how to set your macros for your goals, etc.

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

    I have something that numbs the back of my throat. It helps with the gag reflex so I can swallow better. Benzocaine..

    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!

    Your diary is closed, so we don't rightly know whether or not you're eating enough to start. Then again as I'd stated initially, it might be an oral fixation, however the act of shoveling food into your mouth might be another form of addictive behaviour, which has been set upon you from years of eating (on binge-auto mode); No thought, just senseless eating. You like to swallow, so gum is out. Maybe a combination of chewing gum and drinking water? Or possibly empty calorie fruits or veggies like celery, cucumber, lettuce, melon balls, melon sticks? You have to find alternatives. Plan ahead. Plot your binge and turn it around or you're just self-sabotaging.

    You will don't understood the diary (is in my native language), you will just see calories.
    But yes, i will do that. maybe will help.
    Thank you for your help!
