Forgive the new account, I just moved my account over from lemmy.ca.
I’m working on losing weight right now and needed to rant a little. Currently in the luteal phase of my cycle and all I want to do is eat! What I would give to eat everything in my recently stocked fridge… 😩
On the plus side, I’m down a little over 5 lbs!
Any tips on taking my mind off of food would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to join in on venting.
Currently craving chocolate, breakfast bagel sandwiches, sushi, and the costco sized container of grapes in my fridge… and pancakes with looootttss of syrup.
Thank you for listening!
+1 for increasing protein and fiber intake to help reduce hunger (e.g. 2 tbsp / 35 mL of ground flax seed in water once a day)
eating “whole” foods helps with this - fiber is naturally occurring in the peels of potatoes, in whole grain foodstuffs, and so on, so the key is to replace refined foods with their unrefined alternatives to get the fiber back in your diet
