How do you guys endure the hunger pains while losing weight? I was told to eat more protein, but what kind of protein tricks my brain into feeling full longer that has low calories?

If you don’t wanna feel as hungry, eat a larger amount of fibrous carbs and less starchy carbs, that don’t make you feel as full.

For me its beans, broccoli, spinach / greens, edamame, mushrooms, etc. I still do eat plenty of starchy carb staples (pototoes, rice, bread), but for some reason these never make me feel full.

Also drink more water / liquids. Half the time when you think you’re hungry, you just need more water.

Raw mushrooms are amazing for hunger, and they have a ton of potassium (helps if you are watching your sodium balance).
