[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have nearly the same stats and think about this question all the time. Currently trying to lose the last 10-15 lbs.

What works for me is to simply lean into the hunger and accept it. Also, I do intermittent fasting, which allows me to eat 2 larger meals rather than 3 tiny ones. I find I’m just as hungry at lunchtime if I eat breakfast or not. I also eat very low carb, which helps.

Here’s what I’ll be eating today:

-around 1pm: plain greek yogurt; chicken breast with grilled veggies

-around 4pm: 4oz steak with cheese, salsa, and sour cream

-around 7pm: 4oz pulled pork; 1.5 cups chicken taco soup

Op - yea I think I might just have to sit in the discomfort. It stinks. Sometimes I feel light headed when I go too long in between meals. [/quote]

Me too. It sort of goes away after a while, but I just don’t lose appreciable weight unless I spend a good portion of the day moderately hungry. So the hunger pains reinforce that I’m on track. This mental reframing is the only way I don’t collapse into self pity and defeat! It sucks and does feel disordered at times. [/quote]

It is disordered.[/quote]

PP. Maybe. But I think humans are meant to be hungry sometimes, right? Is it only disordered if you’re doing it to lose “vanity” weight?[/quote]

Sometimes isn’t everyday, especially if you have the resources not to be hungry. That’s called starving yourself.[/quote]

PP. So do you think the only healthy approach is to eat preemptively so you’re never hungry? I think that’s now considered the norm but was not the norm 100 years ago. [/quote]

Where did you get that? I’m saying you should eat until you’re full (not stuffed). [/quote]

But what if that results in obesity?[/quote]
