Alright people who supposedly get full on 1200, how do you do it?

Hmmm, is this a keto group? I'm not being sarcastic, I really thought this was a group dedicated to a ketogenic WOE, but I can see from so many responses that many here are not following that path at all. It's no problem for me, I was just hoping there may be some more truly keto eaters with helpful advice and encouragement? Anyone? I can answer some questions, but have only started keto on July 11 of 2015, so....

As for the 1200, it is a bit too low for me, but I am doing fine feeling satiated on 1350 calories/day. Eating LCHF, which also means moderate protein, is a great way to keep from having crazy hunger cravings. I still think of food, because, well...I love it. But, with keto I can eat amazing food, healthy food and feel satisfied. Part of my journey is knowing when to put down the fork/spoon and say "I've had enough". The evil twin inside wants to say "More, more, give me seconds on that!" ;-P

No? It's general diet and exercise...

This isn't a thread bashing you, it's me asking how do you manage it?? I get super hungry on that little a day, however I'm wanting to try it again. What are your typical meals? Do you ever feel famished?

While I do suffer from some of these issues as well, I have been searching out new foods to try that are lower in calories...

If you can handle salad with little to no dressing at all, you eat butt load of greens and they won't really up your calories that much... Squash has been one of my big fillers I use as well... One cup of spaghetti squash is around 40 calories... so when I make my plates at home I will reduce high calorie items on my plate and simply add more squash.... or green beans.... Typically, I will take the low calorie vegetable and cover half or more of my plate with it...

For snacks I will do like a cup of sliced jicama (approximately 45 calories) (kinda like eating raw potatoe, crunchy, and pretty tasteless)... and add in a small hand full of frozen blueberries and/or two or three slices of pickled beets... something with strong flavor that will add their flavor to the jicama... Jicama is low calorie and really feeling... (I can eat half a pizza or more by myself (if I were to let myself do it, but normal glass bowl of this will fill me up quick).

Just how I fight through the low calories...

For me, some days just fall there, but they tend to be just a few days and are often proceeded by higher carb days.
