I have been substituting Fairlifes for lunch which is working well, but I typically have a witching hour around 2 pm where I get hungry. I have been having tea and it works okay. Just curious what are the go to items for HORT.
Okay dieters, what is your trick for quelling hunger pangs without busting the diet (low carb)
- Thread starter Tenacious E
- Start date
are you drinking enough water? Otherwise soluble fiber and protein.
An ounce of almonds with a glass of water.
Good question. I don't think so. I'm in the first phase of the diet where I'm burning off glycogen stores so I'm constantly pissing out the resultant water, so it is counterintuitive that I need to be drinking more water. But I do. Good thought.
Big glass of water or crystal light
Handful of peanuts - I like the planters heat peanuts

Celery with peanut butter has been my "dessert" at night, but maybe I should work it in more during the day.
Water. Get the little koolaid or crystal lite mio flavor things to change it up.
FWIW you can get the lemonade packets off amazon by the case, so the cost is a lot more reasonable.
Try this and I’m dead serious.
Eat something before you get hungry and you won’t get hungry until it’s time to eat. Pre-emptive strike that bitch with a protein bar and it will hold you over easy.
Hmmm. Maybe I should drink one at 11 and one at 1, rather than drinking two of them at noon.
Hard boiled eggs are a good choice. Healthy, mobile, easy and cheap - just like I like my women😁.
Even when egg prices were up, it’s still a bargain. Damn gougers, though.
My breakfast is usually 4 strips of microwaved turkey bacon (it tastes better than it sounds) and a couple of runny sunny side up eggs, which I enjoy. I do like the convenience of those big packs of hardboiled eggs at costco, but they have been out of them as of late. I suppose I could do my own but they are a pain in the ass.
Make a huge salad for lunch with low calorie dressing. Lots of vegetables and a few dried cranberries to sweeten it a little.
Basically a lot of bulk but still few calories. Keep the gut full.

low calorie dressing typically is carb laden, which I am trying to avoid...
Just put on the Human Centipede in the background. There are 3 of them now so you could mix it up some.
Yeah snacks on my radar are pickles, olives, pepperoncini, lettuce with italian dressing, slices of deli ham, celery with peanut butter, and cheese. Just trying to generate ideas for things I haven't thought of.
Have your wife bang a bunch of other dudes and get divorced. Works like a charm.
Change your " dessert " to sugar free raspberry jello, 1 cup boiling water and 1 cup sugar free Squirt or Ginger Ale. Walnuts or Pecans in the bottom of a ramakin. 2 cups makes 3 ramakins. A little cool whip on top...
Sounds a bit more expensive than sugar free Jello. Laying limestone retaining walls helps burn calories too, right jellyfish?

Water, water, water. Hang in there. A week or two you'll adjust won't feel this 2pm feeling anymore.
Look up whole 30 style vinaigrette recipes. You can make your own healthy dressing brah.
Hope you are going with the 42g protein vs the 26g. And, like was stated... space those two out. Coffee or kombucha in the morning also seem to help me stay without feeling hungry from the time I wake until about 10am when I have protein drink #1.
If our ancestors got on a wobbly wooden ship, on a 3-6 month journey across the Atlantic, to painstakingly try and build a new life in a wild new world… you can suck it up and power past the hunger pains.
You're going to hate this answer...but broccoli. Broccoli and water will do the trick. Plus it has a ton of fiber in it.
Grab some fat free ranch (not Light Ranch) and some fresh broccoli. Cut it up and eat it raw while washing it down with water. You'll hate it but you will satisfy your hunger.
One thing I've learned with dieting is that the first 3 weeks are hard. Effing terrible to be honest. I believe it's because your stomach is adjusting to the new quantities of food which if you're doing it right, is a lot less than before. Once you get through those first 3 weeks, your body adjusts and it's pretty easy from there on out. Those first 3 weeks or so though...damn.
Edit: Just to add, when I'm dieting, I'm actually eating much more frequently. Like every 3 hours or so. I think that also helps.
I'm a weirdo who actually likes raw broccoli and cauliflower, so that is a good idea...
The low calorie Italian dressing I use has 3 grams of carbs per serving and 15 calories.
Maybe you are aiming for zero carbs.
Largely this. I try to mix and match hard boiled eggs, string cheese, Quest chips and Built bars periodically between meals to stay ahead of it.
