There has been exactly one thing that worked for me (other than the new relationship high when you do things with your new partner all the time, go places, lots of activity and little time for hunger. This is not sustainable though)
I watched 2 bears 1 cave when it started because I like comedy, Bert is funny and honestly a caricature unto himself, and it didn't have as many annoying sponsor segments. Anyway, they were talking about what they were doing for Sober October and Bert, who seems to have a lot of problems similar to mine, said he was trying One Meal A Day and it felt like the first time in a looong time that his mind was sharpish and he didn't feel the constant need to snack. So I tried it, lost 25 KG over 4 months (healthy loss, I never felt starved, I just had a high starting weight) and gained half of it back from COVID lockdown. FML. Rest came back over the next 3 years of working mostly from home and not having the spine to stick to it again. But when I was doing it, starting day 2 or 3 I did feel sort of... Free. The constant blood sugar rush-crash cycle was no more.
TL;DR: One Meal a Day. It's awesome. No you won't feel hungry all day.
Covid legit fucked me over too, lol.
Are you sure it was Covid and not Tengil? ;)
That asshole did this to me because Katla had cravings. That bish.
I hear Jonatan and Karl took care of them so it should all get better now
Well, they got to dip out to Nangilima while I'm still stuck here in the cave, being force-fed tiramisu >:'(
I do omad too and have lost 50 lbs this year and am closing in on my goal weight but have 0 desire to stop omad. I’ll just eat a bigger meal to start maintaining. Nothing really to add other than it’s easy and works.
Honestly I was losing weight crazy fast while eating a huge meal from mcdonalds or burger king twice or thrice a week. The other days I made something filling but with low calorie content (usually fried some frozen veggie mix, chicken fillet and added a bunch of Sriracha to make it less boring - all in all a huge plate of food with around 700-800 kcal)
