This diet hack has reduced my overall calorie intake by 30%
Give or take. I'm just estimating.
I've added bone broth (homemade) into my diet. Google it and you'll find lots and lots of articles about it's nutritional benefits. I sometimes call it "dead animal juice," so it's not for the vegetarians of the world.
Here's my daily menu since I've started adding it in:
Breakfast (which for me is around noon because I eat a late supper): A cup or so of bone broth with salt, a handful of veggies (asparagus spear or baby spinach or chopped kale), and an egg blended into it (kind of like a mock egg drop soup)
This keeps me full for hours. I seriously can't even think about eating. If I do get peckish around late afternoon, I am satisfied with either a little cottage cheese or some sliced venison bologna and cheese.
Then I don't eat again until a late supper (typically 10pm). I start the meal with another 1/2 cup of bone broth. Then I might eat a small burger patty with tomato on a portabello mushroom, some sauteed spinach, and 1/2 a small baked white potato.
In the past, I would have eaten way more calories for "breakfast," a much bigger snack/lunch, plus my supper would have been twice that size (bigger burger on a bun, large baked potato, etc.).
I have definitely reduced my calorie intake by adding the bone broth. Just thought I'd mention it to anyone looking for a hack.
