Extremely interesting Video - I just returned from my holiday in Italy and thought the heat was the reason that I only ate breakfast and dinner without feeling the need for lunch in between. But I was probably wrong - my daily breakfast consisted of a large amount of scrambled eggs with oats, walnuts, ricotta, milk and fruit on the side. I always added additional salt to the eggs and never was hungry until dinner.

[@CatherineHurley-wk8ef]

It's funny - as a kid I'd try to get my mother to give me a fried egg for breakfast, because I noticed that I felt awake during morning classes at school, and by lunch break, I still didn't have hunger pangs. Sometimes I'd get my egg (with salt), but usually it was cornflakes (tired in morning classes, ravenous by lunch-time). I'm finally learning why that was...

HUNGER and CRAVINGS are 2 completely different thigs. Cravings increase dramatically during stress, but also when you need a full "dopamine release" - imagine you are relaxing in the evening, watching some good movie with friends/family, you will must have to eat a pizza or ice cream etc otherwise you won't get a full enjoyment - this is why it is important to eat healthy food but that is also delicious - and YES, it will never be as good as the garbage that we are all addicted to, but good enough to decrease the cravings significantly

Question about salt: I'm just starting keto/carnivore, and I have 80 lbs to lose. I feel like I have a lot of water weight to lose.

The LMNT powder is delicious, but is it too much salt to ingest if someone has a lot of water retention to begin with?

[@jayallum2423]

If your going low carb or no carb your body will lose water weight anyway, just add salt to taste. If your having electrolytes then you won't need to add loads of salt to everything, just add enough to make food taste good to you. Let your taste buds be your guide.

[@MrQuadcity]

Here are the key takeaways from Thomas DeLauer's video "These Foods Rewire the Brain for Fat Loss & Appetite Reduction": 1. **High-Protein Foods (Eggs and Beef)**: - Consuming high-protein breakfasts increases satiety and reduces hunger throughout the day. - High-protein intake can lead to eating less at subsequent meals. - MRI scans show that high-protein foods decrease activation in brain regions associated with impulse control, helping to reduce overeating. 2. **Salt**: - Adequate salt intake is crucial for managing hunger and preventing misinterpreted cravings for sweets. - NST neurons in the brain trigger salt cravings when sodium levels are low. - Consuming electrolytes or salty snacks can help maintain proper sodium levels and reduce unnecessary snacking. 3. **Walnuts**: - Consuming 48 grams of walnuts daily increases satiety and improves food choices. - Walnuts enhance activation in brain regions associated with impulse control, aiding in better decision-making and reduced impulsive eating. 4. **Almonds and Mastication**: - Chewing almonds thoroughly (40 times) significantly enhances satiety compared to chewing fewer times. - Increased mastication of almonds boosts levels of GLP-1, a hormone that promotes feeling full. By incorporating these foods and habits into your diet, you can potentially improve impulse control, reduce appetite, and support fat loss.

GLP-1, that's the similarity

[@margomoore4527]

Semaglutide, which is the actual name for Ozempic, reduces your appetite in an unpleasant way. You no longer relish your vittles; if you consume a bite or so too many, you could feel nauseous or even vomit. I took it for close to 4 months and it was an unpleasant experience in many ways. I was overjoyed to watch my belly shrink, but the itchy rashes and the feeling of weakness finished me. Lost 12 pounds; gained it all back and 4 more pounds. Carnivore made the extra 4 pounds go away, but I couldn’t keep it up. I am now on a low-carb diet that includes meat, dairy, eggs, butter, tallow, and small amounts of fruit. It also includes walnuts maybe 5 days/wk. Despite reducing my meals to 2MAD, with one 24-hr fast per week, ended with OMAD (plan based on one by Ben Azadi), my weight seems to have plateaued. However, my life recently has included so many events that have derailed the eating window (supposed to be 6 hrs-typically more like 8). Perhaps if I could get my schedule adapted to the fasting regimen…..

[@bdu1546]

@@margomoore4527 That's quite a lot that you've been through!
