How long has it been since you started this new way of eating? Sometimes it takes some adjusting. For example, I dropped my carb intake a while back and for the first week or two I was absolutely exhausted all the time. Your body may just be hungry because it's used to taking in too many calories, or junk food. It will get easier! If it doesn't, trying upping your intake slightly. This can also be adjusted if you are extremely active.1 -

that said you should really read up on candida, its one of the stealth metabolism killers most prominent today, most people havent got a clue about it. Yeast + sugar = *kitten*.!
No one food is "fattening." Eating more calories than you burn is. And if something killed your metabolism, you'd be dead too.
I understand what your saying pal, moderation, but your just baiting on grounds of technicallity, so all im gonna say is, you go eat your jar of peanut butter and starve. Ill eat three square meals, be full and be well below my daily calorie intake.
oh and go read up on candida. you'd be surprised.
Can you provide some information on candida? We'd all love to learn about it, and you're the one making the claim that bread is going to infest us with it. What sources have you been reading about that?kanebrewer88 wrote: »RuNaRoUnDaFiEld wrote: »kanebrewer88 wrote: »Yeah I love bread, but its fattening, thats why I hate it. lol

No it's not, either is peanut butter. You have to over eat calorie wise to get fat.
OK mate, you eat your 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, ill eat my 2x poached eggs with a side of chopped tomatoes and ill be full, and still be below your calorie intake.
Maybe were on different levels ladys and gents, I thought the point of NOT BEING HUNGRY whilst dieting, was eating food that gives you the most quantity per calorie. Peanut Butter does not do that.
Not everyone is a volume eater. Some people are - they like to eat a large amount of food at once for not that many calories. That is satisfying to them. Others are more satisfied by eating less quantities of more calorie-dense foods. And that's okay, too.
Peanut butter is very filling and satisfying for me. I was low on fats yesterday and had some calories to play with, so I had a spoonful of peanut butter. It was delicious and satisfying, and I'm certainly not fatter today because of it.2 -

Agreed - I don't eat a lot, but I really enjoy higher fat, richer foods. But I eat a lot less of them than other things, like veggies. I feel more satiated, both physically and mentally, when I allow myself to eat the foods I enjoy (in moderation, of course).3 -

I'd also like to point out that dietary fat is extremely important. It helps your body metabolize certain vitamins, like A, D, E, and K. Certain fatty acids are essential for your brain to function. Definitely shouldn't poo-poo dietary fat.6 -
@kanebrewer88
Because there's too many posts by you I'm not gonna quote them all.
RE: "your body requires fat" it absolutely does. Essential fatty acids are a thing. See the RDA for fat which is the minimum one should be eating. Even if you have bodyfat means you still need dietary fat. Having muscle doesn't mean you can just stop eating protein either.
RE: candida https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/candida-and-fake-illnesses/
RE: lentils: I'm assuming you're measuring 1 cup of uncooked lentils then boiling them, not boiling a bunch of lentils then throwing all away that goes over 1 cup. So you have to look for 1 cup of uncooked lentils, which is 600+ calories https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/4876?manu=&fgcd=.

I'm not a nutritionist but i can tell you since i started this i'm never hungry & am loosing weight. one thing I do is make fruit/veggie shakes with the nutribullit, it really fills me up, I eat food that is filling, for example I have a red microvaved potato(3-4oz) grilled lean ground turkey patty(6oz), bunch of green beans, 1 tsp butter. Today I had beef strips grilled quick on george forman grill & another time i grill boneless/skinless chicken thighs or cook in crock pot with veggies. I have P&J open sandwich using no sugar added jam or tuna/canned chicken sandwich(always using 1 slice of bread) I bought sardines for evening snacks. I even have chips sometime, but only eat an ounce, which is enough. I usually have calories left over0
-
forgot to add I usually have chicken soup I make from scratch on hand, very filling0
-
Eat moderate protein foods and low carb high fat0

Those are hunger cues your brain id sending out either because your calories are not enough or youre not getting adequate nutrition. (Lack vitamins) I suggest you listen to yu body and feed it a bit extra(in controlled portions ofc, dont binge bc if you do it will become a tough habit to break) don ignore your body. If its telling you to eat then eat. Simple. Good luck buddy!1
-
kanebrewer88 - please stop the fat-bashing and other stupidity like "fattening". Or are you just trolling? Then stop that. Too many calories makes you gain weight (or not lose). We need dietary fat, filling isn't the same as satiating and satisfying, and hunger/satiety/taste preferences is individual and acquired.2

If you're avoiding potatoes in your soup due to the carbohydrate content, I've got some bad news for you about lentils . . .
Indeed lentils contain carbs, which is why I say, take out the potatoes as your already getting enough. That said, a full bowl of soup has the same carbs as two slices of bread, no where near the same fat (infact none), and its three times more filling. Lesser of evils eh
I don't think it is possible to say that it's three times more filling -- some people (including myself) do find bread to be filling. I love lentils, I love bread, they both can fit into a healthy and filling diet plan. I don't think either one is evil.
Each to their own matey, all I know I look at quantity per calorie. Two ladles of soup is by mass, MORE then two slices of bread. And has less fat & calories BEFORE even adding a sandwhich filling. OP is talking about being hungry, providing solutions here pal. Somehow I dont think "go eat a sandwhich" is a solution.
One cup of lentils (what you called for in your recipe) is about 660 calories. Two slices of the bread I typically eat is about 160 calories. I am not arguing against lentils -- I eat them regularly. I don't know what size your ladle is, but two ladles of soup (at least by my ladle) seems somewhat equivalent to two slices of bread. As far as fat goes, bread typically isn't a high fat food (and our bodies require fat anyway).
A sandwich *is* a potential solution to hunger. I think the lentil soup is a great suggestion, I just don't understand the demonization of other foods. I can create a sandwich that is filling, helps meet my nutrient needs, and in the calorie range of a bowl of lentil soup. Both foods can be appropriate for hunger control and weight loss.
660 calories??? Where are you getting your info from?
230 calories.
Bread around 90 calories. so 180 total. Then add your 2 grams of FAT. Then you've got butter? I mean everyone adds butter right? 1 TBLSP butter 90 odd calories.
your over.
Whats your filling? becuase unless its just lettuce, tomatoes and onion, your going to go over.
Well i guess were both going to disagree on this.
That's cooked. When you said to add a cup of lentils, I presumed that you were adding uncooked lentils.
Even then, that's still more calories than two slices of the bread I eat. Butter isn't required for bread. I never eat butter. And even if one does add something like butter or hummus or peanut butter, many people find fat to be filling. A slice or two of bread with some fat may be just right for some people.
I get it. You have something against bread. I don't think it is justified, but you've made your position very clear.
erm no, I said "boil the lentils, then in a seperate pan boil the veg". I kinda thought this was self explanitory. I mean who eats raw lentils O_o
Okay, for the sake of arguement, its more calories then two slices of bread, it but damn well aint less then a sandwhich with a filling, and 2+ grams of fat is worse then a bowl with 0 fat.
PEANUT BUTTER!!!! WHAT!!!! THATS THE MOST FATENING THING YOU CAN EAT, PEANUTS ARE 161 calories per OZ and BUTTER, 90grams per tablespoon!! They put themtogether and liquidize, and your saying eat that!!!! WTF????
Hummous is OK
Fine you eat your hummous sandwhiches and get over your flame war, thanks.
I wasn't under the impression that you were saying to eat them raw. I'm saying that one cup of raw lentils has over 600 calories. The calories don't vanish when you cook them. If you are basing your calorie estimate on one cup of cooked lentils but using one cup raw in your recipe, you will be eating much more than you think you are.
Peanut butter is only going to be fattening if it causes you to eat more calories than you burn. Many people successfully maintain a calorie deficit while eating peanut butter, including myself. The goal for most of us isn't to have zero fat in the diet. We need some fat to live and if that fat comes from peanut butter, that's okay. A meal with zero grams of fat isn't automatically better than a meal with two. In fact, if OP is one of the many people who find fat to help promote a feeling of fullness and satisfaction, it may be easier to maintain a deficit when including foods like peanut butter (or hummus or butter or whatever) in the diet.
Someone disagreeing with your posts isn't a flame war. I haven't said anything about you personally and I haven't attacked you.4 -
im always hungry.. even while eating im thinking about my next meal ha! For me i NEED fats or i am not satisfied. I eat A LOT of full fat dairy, avocados, peanut butter, and olive oil. Love dem fats!1

If peanut butter is fattening...I'm screwed.3

Pretty simple fix here. Either you're not eating enough, or not eating enough of the nutrience your body is wanting. Veggies, fats, and proteins will keep you full. My main issue with carbs is that when you metabolize them, your sugars go up which causes the insulin spike, then drops back down real quick. The result is a crash or being hungry again. You just need to play around with stuff and find what works the best for you as far as macro count and caloric intake.1
-
OP, how many calories are you eating & how big a deficit? How long have you been eating the way you are?
Without that info, any answers are just noise.
If you just started, it takes some people a few weeks to get used to their new eating plan. You may simply not be eating enough. Different macros/foods being satiating is a personal thing, so you can always play with your percentages if your calories are in line.0 -
I was REALLY hungry the first two weeks, even though I was eating the right stuff, but now I am fine with the amounts I eat. So it may just be an adjustment period.0

I don't see any comments on how to stay full during shift work/long day so I'll comment on that. I worked briefly at an industrial site with a long commute both ways. Lunch was broken up in to two half hour shifts.
To adapt, I left for work on an empty stomach, packing my breakfast with me. I would eat my breakfast when I arrived on site. I carried about a half dozen snacks with me which might include half size protein bars, edamame pods, nuts, crackers, cheese, veggies and dip, fruit, and single serving yogurt. A sandwich, wrap, or salad would be in there too. I had a slow cooker going at home to be ready when I got home. And I reserved one snack for the long commute home.
My meals were much smaller being so many little ones, but I never allowed myself to get too hungry. For me, raging hunger is just asking for trouble.
I eat like a diabetic so I never go any more than a few hours between meals/snacks (excepting sleep). As long as I control portions, I still lose weight.0 -

Yep. Simple.
Eat more and lose weight more slowly!!!!!
Is there some rush you haven't mentioned?
If you take it off too fast you will put it back on. Slow and steady. There is no supper food that is going to leave you fully if you are not eating enough over the days, weeks, months.
