How To Reduce Hunger (Thread):

Seriously:

This thread could potentially change your life, if you understand it and actually implement it (gradually).

If you fail to do this, you'll never adhere to your diet long-term.

You'll always mess up.

More:

Your stress levels will be higher.

You will hate being in a deficit.

You will always view dieting as painful & restrictive.

You will stay above 20% bf forever.

And it's because the amount of will power required to even lose a few pounds will be astronomical.

Here are the 9 strategies you need to use to reduce hunger, and get to 10% body fat with (relative) ease:

Number 1 - Knock Your Eating Window Down To 8 Hours Or Less

It's simply amazing how full you become when you only have 4-8 hrs to eat 2000 kcals.

Here's a different one:

Number 2 - Eat More High Volume Foods

This means foods that take up a lot of space.

Think:

1000 calories of veggies, or salad, versus 1000 calories of McDonalds. Which one expands the stomach more?

Exactly.

The former would be VERY hard to achieve, the latter is TOO easy..

Number 3 - Eat More Solid Calories, And Less Liquid

Liquid calories are not going to keep you full for long, end of story.

Think: Orange juice vs 2-3 oranges. Big difference.

Think: Steak vs protein shake.

Solid foods stay in you for longer, and keep you full for longer...

Number 4 - Limit Foods That Taste REALLY Good

I know, I know. You don't like the sound of that. But bear with me.

This super-simple logic is:

If you eat insanely tasty food, you want more insanely tasty food.

Eat grim food, you don't want more.

Now, I'M NOT saying:

"Never eat tasty foods ever, and if you do you'll always get fat"

No, no, no.

I eat tasty stuff (but it's also volumous, high protein etc.)

But I am saying that you need to be aware of this very simple logic - if it tastes really good, you're probably gonna want more.

Next:

Number 5 - Eat A VERY High Protein Diet

You don't need this for muscle maintenance, no.

But staying full and satisfied in a calorie deficit?

YES!

Protein is THE MOST satiating macro.

This means more meat, more eggs, more fish, protein shakes (but keeping #3 in mind).

#6:

Number 6 - Add More Fiber Into Your Diet

The Carnivore Diet is very trendy atm.

Meat is great.

But not eating veggies is daft:

GET BOTH!

The extra fiber is going to make you fuller for very few calories. You're missing out if you refuse to eat fruit and veg.

E.g:

You are getting A LOT of nutrients, fiber and...

FULLNESS

From a mere 100-300 calories of broccoli, kale, spinach etc., that it makes it insane to skip.

Apples, berries and oranges are similar in this regard.

Eat your damn fruit & veggies.

Next:

Number 7 - Drink A Large Glass Of Water Before Meals

It will expand your stomach, making you less likely to overeat at the meal.

ESPECIALLY important when you're eating out and don't want to blow it.

Your stomach expands, and your brain thinks:

"Oh I'm not THAT hungry"

#8:

Number 8 - Eat Slowly

There is a 'delay effect' when it comes to staying full.

Your brain doesn't really acknowledge the existence of all the new food FULLY until about 20 minutes or so.

Take your time.

You are way less likely to go overboard within 10 mins if you do this...

Number 9 - DRINK BLACK COFFEE, BABY

Stimulants work. End of story.

Coffee will make you less hungry, plus it also conditions your taste buds to not want sweet stuff (due to the bitterness).

Dual benefits.

Get on it.

Final point:

Don't do ALL OF THESE at the same time.

Look at where your weakest areas are, and attack a couple. You'll see massive improvements in:

- Amount of fat lost
- The ease of losing the fat

Then you'll have more 'tools' in your toolbox for further down the road too...

I will be writing a detailed email series on all of the above points over the next few weeks.

Each email will have detailed 'how to' strategies that will make you:

+ Lose more fat
+ Lose it easily
+ Enjoy your diet
