Red "Don't do it" boredom is a big issue for me as well but I think we all have those days we just want to eat hang in there. 

Yeah, I ate almost 2K calories yesterday, it was low fat, high protein (105 grams). Time to get some mini pretzels or nuts or something else that you can chomp away at. If it's nuts, keep chewing till it's just paste and that will help you feel like you've eaten more. 

I'm feeling the same way. Had to do overtime at work part of me just wants to be a glutton when I get home. We will just have to hang in there!! Like the kitten says. 

Give yourself grace. Tomorrow is a new day.  

Its so annoying bc you get soo tempted to just mindlessly munch.. i wanted to post this bc i wanted to share that even if you lose a lot of weight and have invested a lot of time, energy and money like I have, these urges can just creep up out of no where. I pushed thru with a nice cup of pecan coffee with heavy cream.. hit the spot !  

Anyplace that you can go for a walk or explore to kill downtime? I find that when I'm busy and moving around my hunger abates. Sometimes lunch gets skipped for that reason. 

The fat in the heavy cream probably helped, I find if I'm feeling that way a little extra fat helps a lot. But I'm on LCHF so it's ok for me to do that. 

I agree with Addie Aline! Remember fat bombs? One of those will kill the urge for sweets and provide fat which satiates your cravings! 

Stay strong... =) 

Great Choice Red,, nice Job !! we all have those days,, I usually Pray and push through . :-) 

Good job....I think the combination of a hot drink along with the fat definitely helps appease hunger. My stomach was growling already on the way to work this morning so I had coconut oil in my coffee and that did it for me. Also helping me avoid the birthday cake in the break room. 

FAT BOMBS, yes. i havent made any in a while. Im off tomorrow and should make some!! Great idea guys!!  

What the heck is a FAT BOMB? And HOW can I get one? 

What are fat bombs?Usually made from a combination of ingredients such as butter, coconut oil, nuts and seeds, fat bombs were initially designed for those following the Ketogenic diet. Devotees eat a high-fat, low-carb diet that induces ketosis, a state of starvation where the body begins to burn fat instead of carbohydrates. I make mine with cocoa, peanut butter , nuts, coco oil and butter.. MMM there are a ton of variations

Interesting! Some of those recipes look good enough to take to a family gathering.... 

There are ways to satisfy food cravings if you get them without being unhealthy. I don't get cravings because of balanced healthy fats (nuts, avocado, eggs, etc), complex carbs (beans, rice, lentils, etc) and loads of protein (lean beef, turkey, chicken, salmon, etc). If you are getting cravings though, have you ever tried cocoa or cinnamon roasted almonds? You get a little unnecessary sugar, but plenty of healthy fats and protein too. How about frozen yogurt versus ice cream? Chocolate frozen yogurt with some fresh kiwi and strawberry slices is very tasty and it feels like you're cheating, but you aren't. You like chili? Try Hormel Turkey Chili (no beans). It is a protein bonanza and hardly any fat. Eat the whole can and be full knowing it was good and good for you! 

warning,, don't indulge in Fatbombs unless you are following a LCHF way of eating,, eating high carb and adding good fats in large amounts will be disastrous . Just saying . 

GREAT ADVICE TAMARAH !!  

Thanks for the heads up Tamarah -- I'd never even heard about this diet plan. Live and learn!
