[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eat good vegetables and nuts. Mix that into your recipes.
At some point you'll intuitively feel that carbs don't satisfy your cravings, and you'll reach for them less.

Stop buying prepared carbs at the store. Only by uncooked carbs ther go into recipes. [/quote]

Can you give examples of that? Because I bought a box of rice pilaf and ate the whole thing last night with dinner. So that’s not good. [/quote]

NP here.

I feel like adding any of the following to carbs can lead to me being satisfied with less:  Texture, flavor, protein, fat, fiber.  Luckily, all those things can also make the carbs more delicious.

So, for example, I might stir lentils or small white beans (fiber) and cashews (texture, fat, protein) or shredded rotisserie chicken into that rice pilaf.

Or instead of eating multiple bowls of oatmeal,  I might make baked oatmeal, and add some nut butter (fat, protein), and a lot of apples (fiber, texture if I leave the skin on) and cinnamon (flavor).

I also find that I can sub out something else white for some of the carbs in a recipe without it bothering me.  I make the following:

Fried rice that's half brown rice and half riced cauliflower (not the frozen stuff, fresh raw riced cauliflower that I toast in the skillet) with a lot of eggs and frozen mixed veggies.

Beef stew and sub rutabaga for the potatoes, but still serve it with really good whole grain bread.

Stuffed zucchini boats with a spicy sausage pasta sauce and cheese, salad, and garlic bread.
