No amounts of healthy food are satisfying me today! My tummy still is CRAVING bread or cookies right now- and LOTS of it. I want to mix up a batch of cookies & eat half the dough!
HELP- how do I feel FULL?
Today I've had a bowl of honey bunches of oats with skim milk, a banana, string cheese, almonds, a side salad full of veggies & catalina dressing, two graham cracker sheets. TONS of water.
What kind of food can I add to this to satisfy my urges and help me feel FULL without diving into half a loaf of bread??

Maybe something protein rich? Generally speaking people find protein more satiating then carbs0 -
Eat more protein, fewer carbs. Or save calories for the things you want.0

You sound like you're starving. I bet you've been under-eating for a while, but I can't tell for sure because your diary is private.0
-
sounds like you're eating too little.
i like a home made grilled chicken breast on a whole wheat wrap.0 -
Oh man. I definitely know that feeling. So, I never would have suggested this before a couple of weeks ago, but the last few times I've eaten a granny smith apple with raw honey from Trader Joe's, I've been SUPER full. Almost uncomfortably so, and I'd only meant it to be a snack. Maybe it's the fiber in the apple skin and the richness of the raw honey?0

You definitley need more protein. Add greek yogurt to your breakfast or a protein shake, lean turkey or chicken at lunch.0
-
I take metamucil fiber supplement with water and add chia seeds to some of my meals..they swell up and make u feel fuller and they are nutrient rich. maybe add chicken to your salad, or a boiled egg.0

Just stick with it, though it is tough. You're body is going through withdrawals.0

Ive got a sweet tooth but ive found the shape yoghurts - caramel, chocolate and white chocolate ones are gorgeous and only 109 calories. There what I turn to if a get a craving for chocolate0
-
I'd be hungry too! Try adding protein - from lean meat, chicken, etc. or even a protein bar or shake if that's easier. Protein will stick with you. Best of luck!0

You should add some protein do your diet...but I know all abut the love of bread and cookies. I am a recovering carb addict. I have discovered since I've been eating less I crave less. But the following have helped.
fiber one 90 calorie bars....help with the desire for cookies and sweets.
Light Italian bread, 40 calories a slice,0 -
Chicken chicken and more chicken!!0
-
a big smoothie with protein powder! make sure it comes out thick enough and maybe make more than you feel you should0
-
Carbs are addictive- why you crave them!
Best advice that worked for me is to eat MORE protein, less carbs and the carbs you eat
should be complex- steer away some the simple, empty calorie variety.
Try some greek yogurt, hard boiled egg, chicken breast on whole wheat bread or wrap.0 -
Eat some cookies and bread then, just do it in moderation0
-
The carbs you are eating are not helping. You've heard that they create more cravings, right?
I agree with the above: eat enough calories and more protein.0 -
apple & pb or almond butter - my go to everyday!0
-
i'd say you should definitely just have a healthy portion of what you are craving so badly. like just ONE cookie. if you deny yourself of the food you love, you'll either be miserable or end up bingeing completely!0

Banana and a cup of milk will help curb your sweet tooth.0
-
Eat a fiber bar with a glass of milk works great for me!0
