I completely understand about the low carb diet. I did Atkins a few years ago, I had a sausage breakfast bowl for breakfast (sausage, broccoli, cheese, tomatoes, black olives) and I was not hungry again until 4-5 PM. I would have to force myself to eat lunch.
You have to decide your WOE…Way of Eating. Either low carb, low fat, 6 mini meals per day, etc. But, in my opinion it has to be something you can stick with, is portable…can eat at restaurants, etc. and does not make you feel like you are missing something.
If you have a lot of high carb foods at home and feel tempted to eat them, get rid of them and replace them with healthier foods.
I would eat cake everyday if I could, but I would only gain weight and be tempted to eat more. I have to ask myself during the day, am I really hungry or eating from boredom, unhappiness, stress or whatever. Replace that with a positive hobby, chore, or task.
Start by planning tomorrow’s meals today, what will you have for breakfast that is healthier? Egg whites, oatmeal or whole grain toast, add some protein if you get hungry. Repeat this for lunch, dinner and snacks for a few days.
Tell us how it goes.
