Re: Trying to lose weight -- possible TW for eating disorders?

Make sure you're getting a good amount of protein in. Staying away from sugar 95% of the time is the right thing (personally, I lost weight just from doing that even though weight loss wasn't my goal), and try to stick to low GI foods in general.

Speaking personally, exercise is HUGELY helpful for stabilising my blood sugar/hunger symptoms, as is sleep. I will eat some fat in order to feel fuller longer, birdfood doesn't always do it for me, and a little fat can go a long way. Apples and some other fruit make me feel hungrier, and as they're sugary anyway, I mostly stick to vegies. Peanuts and the like are really good for grazing on between meals. I find I HAVE to eat small meals regularly, or I get too hungry and then I can't sleep in the middle of the night or I'm really really hungry the next day, but YMMV, everyone's body copes with hunger differently. I eat like this to feel better since I have CFS but it is also what others term "healthy" or "weight loss".

I also drink protein shakes, I just get plain protein powder from the fitness section of the supermarket, and add frozen fruit, tahini or nut butter, and a bit of vanilla maybe, and then top it up with soy milk (you can do dairy too), and then chuck it in a blender, it's filling but not what people would call fattening, and it's 100000000000 times better than that fake chocolate shit in the weight loss industry section of shops that I would never ever ever buy. It's not a great substitute for a proper meal though.

I imagine that how much you eat at a time to feel full is something you can partially condition.
