    I make my own salsa. It's finely chopped onion, garlic, red and green peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a few jalapeno. It's spicy, so if I eat a few spoonfuls i don't feel like eating for a while. So delicious and low calorie.

    The easiest way to create a caloric deficit is to breastfeed ;)

    I just learned a new one! Leave your high fat snack out where your pancreatitis-prone dog can get to it. You then induce vomiting in your dog so he doesn't die, and will definitely lose your appitite. Sigh. This week, man. This week.

    Bonus weight loss tip! Leave the package out on the counter so that your cats get into it! No induced vomiting required - cats can vomit on their own quite well. Sigh.

    Rotten week! Hope it's improving now :smile:

    Stop eating carbs. Simple as that. For an added kick throw in a couple of days of fasting each week.
    Lol, one of those "followers" that actually got suckered into think that carbs are evil. I bet people stand a few feet away when you speak to them directly.

    If you are on a high protein diet and need 10 more calories for the day, 6 fiber capsules will get you there.

    Yooo fiber capsules are an actual thing? I need this.

    Being lazy can be a good thing.

    You can't mess up your calories if you're too lazy to go anywhere and fulfill your cravings.

    Fruit for dessert. I have a serious thing for frozen berries. I weigh them out and then I put a half cup of light vanilla yogurt on there and stir it up.

    Breakfast. Especially one loaded in protien and healthy carbs. Keeps me full so I don't find myself snacking so much.

    I've been taking fiber capsules for almost 2 weeks now (glucomannan from gnc) and it's been AMAZING for appetite suppression. I'm down 11.6 lbs in 13 days.

    Placebo effect.....Google it

    Actually, filling up on fiber works for many people. There's a number of papers published on the subject.

    Like Keto, It works by increasing satiety and improving "non-tracking caloric compliance"

    When I'm in serious loss mode, I brew a pot of flavored decaf when I get home from work & sip a cup before & after dinner. Keeps the sweet/snacking cravings away.

    Write down EVERYTHING you eat so you're accountable to it. You're less likely to have another cookie if you know you have to log it. We as humans are efficient at rationalizing everything and tracking your food forces you to be honest with yourself.

    Yes, even write down that handful of skittles and the handful of pretzels you ate at work. If you want to know why you aren't losing weight, it's because you aren't aware of what you're putting in your body (trust me, i thought I knew and I didn't).

    Hope that helps. Good luck

    Maybe weird, who knows. At the supermarket I go to, the bakery section is right next to the entrance. So I'll walk through there, smell all the delicious breads, bagels, cakes, etc., feel satisfied, and then move on. I really truly believe that I enjoy the smell of bread more than I enjoy the taste. (Just kidding; I enjoy the taste just as much as the smell)

    I bought this funny little RPG on Steam called "West of Loathing" and it has been keeping me occupied all day I haven't thought about food outside of meal times once. I'm very particular about the cleanness of my mouse and keyboard so I haven't developed a habit of eating while playing. Basically, my weird tip is: something you enjoy to occupy your time when you feel it's going to be "one of those days".
