Hunger

ad

We all know when you go on a low carb strict diet that you face hunger. No matter how much protein you eat it just doesn’t seem to not get the job done. Especially at night time for bed. Does anyone have some tricks to combat the hunger? Just curious. I’ve been sucking it up for years when wanting to lean down eating at least 10 times a day. Every 2 hours.

A lot of fiber, water, and nuts.

One trick I use is to buy sunflower, walnuts, and peanuts in the shell. Shelling them slows down your eating, gives the fats time to work, staving off hunger without overindulging. They also won't wreck a keto diet if you don't go overboard with them (hence the buy in shell personal requirement)

Nice bro I will give that a shot.

Hey Bulkdaddy. I hope others have given you some good pointers. In my opinion, any deficit diet can cause hunger. I combat this several different ways. (1) I try to get over the mental part of it by thinking about how privileged I am to be able to diet by choice. Others in the world don't get this opportunity due to food scarcity. I try to embrace the feeling and realize that being hungry while dieting is not abnormal. (2) If I know I am getting hungry daily and the feeling of being hungry keeps me awake. I take ECA a little later in the day. the E of ECA can act as an appetite suppressant. Obviously if you cycle ECA, you might by Shit-Outta-Luck on the off part of the cycle. (3) I chug water or have some crystal light water. If I hit the taste buds, I can trick myself into feeling more full than I am. Just my two cents for what works with me Smile

Like bearded muscle said, melanotan 2 shuts down my appetite nearly completely depending on the size of the dose. Also if I get up over 25 grams of whey isolate it begins to shut my appetite down and the higher I take it the bigger the suppression of hunger, but at night it might keep you up a little. I makes me heat up if I take a lot with the thermogenesis effect of my body trying to burn off the excess. Another thing that works for me is hot chicken bone broth for the limited calories and no carbs it really fills me up, it tastes good, but it’s not as appealing when it’s hot out. I really enjoy it during the cold months.

I love melanotan2 and have recommended it to many
I truly believe its magic in a bottle for us pastey guys
But man does it make me feel like sh-t. I inject it and run right into bed and hope to sleep fast

Yes I like it too. I work outside most days of the work week and I hope it might actually help with what it was developed for which is to help prevent sun damage. Both my parents have had skin cancer and I used to have a business that included tanning beds and I used to tan a lot. I’ve probably already done a lot of damage. But like you said if I take it too much it makes me really sick to my stomach. It seems to me some brands are a little cleaner than others or maybe some are just overdosed and hit you harder.

I thought I replied to this yesterday, so i repeat it. Drink whey protein in water, followed by a glass of water. Warner is a good appetite suppressant and this mix avoids carbs!

Bulkdaddy's picture

I’ll try it. Thanks buddy

I have that problem too, especially at night.
I drink a casein smoothie with water, cereals and oats (little) and it works perfectly. I can sleep.
Drinking coffee during the day as everyone says is a great choice.

I can’t have carbs before I sleep.

Drinking a lot of water before bed didn't work out for me. I woke up at night to go to the bathroom and couldn't sleep anymore.
I have to put something in my stomach.

How about a small bowl of blueberries with one or two table spoons of hemp seeds drizzled with the truvia low sugar honey

Bulkdaddy's picture

Not the right timing for sugar well at bed time anyways. I’ll have 3 rice krispy treats before I go to the gym though.

Whenever I want carbs I have a giant scoop of skippy natural and wash it down with some chocolate milk ;)

For serious tho, usually a handful of nuts do the trick.

up your sodium intake and up your water intake bro, I dream about carbs when I'm dieting its seriously like a drug .

But water bro does a good job at curving hunger, sodium does also if you sweat enough that is.

That is no lie lmao. You couldn’t have said it better.

I’m not advocating this,
But two things have helped me a bit. Timing melanotan 2 shots for evenings puts my stomach in knots and I can’t eat after.

Also, orals can kill appetite. Specifically anadrol in my case.

Bulkdaddy's picture

Plenty orals I’m taking already.

Super low calorie snacks.

Sugar free jelly, sugar free angel delight made with unsweetened almond milk. Both are no more than. 15 or so calories per serving.

Porridge- 15g chia seeds, 1tbs cacao, 0 calorie sweetener to taste, 100ml unsweetened almond milk leave in the fridge for an hour. Again minimal calories, great minerals and tastes amazing.

Or the old 5 knuckle shuffle works pretty well too.
