[quote=Anonymous]For me, cutting carbs, and especially cutting carbs in the a.m. was critical to not feeling hungry.  I don't think I've cut carbs enough that I'm in "keto", and I'm not sure I want to be, but I have definitely cut enough carbs that I am no longer nearly as hungry.

I usually have something with a fair amount of fat, and almost no carbs for breakfast.  If I have time to cook, I might have some turkey sausage, or scrambled eggs with cheese.  If I'm on the run, a handful of almonds or cashews, or some sliced cheese and meat. Not a huge amount, maybe 200 - 250 calories worth.

Then for lunch, I'll have either a protein and some veggies, or a salad with a fair amount of protein.

Then for dinner, I can include more carbs, usually things like fruit or legumes rather than grains or sugar.  If I ate the same things earlier in the day, then 4 or 5 hours later I'd be starving and I'd lose self control, but if I eat them for dinner, then I'll be asleep so I don't get hungry.

I tried other models, that had me eating low fat/higher carb, and I was hungry all the time.  I lost weight if the calories were controlled, but I was miserable.  With high fat/lower carb I don't feel bad at all.[/quote]
