Wanting to go on a calorie deficit but I’m always hungry Topic


What food are the most low calorie but are good in taste?


Hello U1189884992-

I am guessing your health goal is weight loss?

There are lots of foods that are low in calories and tasty. Start with the vegetable category. In particular, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, celery, spinach, zucchini are some that come to mind. I think veggies taste best when roasted. Here are instructions for roasting veggies:

Do you have an air fryer? These are great for roasting veggies as well and require very little oil.
-Here are some snack ideas that are 150 calories or less and all very tasty: https://www.mynetdiary.com/superfoods-for-your-immune-system-try-these-20-immune-boosting-snacks-at-less-than-150-calories-each.html
I am curious what you hear from others! Everyone has a different palate when it comes to food:)

you can make almost anything low calorie its all about portion sizes... if you are hungry then you should really focus on protein foods, and i would avoid snacking because the more times you spike your insulin hormone, the more hungry you will be. mostly spiked with you eat carbs... when you start dieting... your insulin is at the highest point.


If your always hungry in a caloric deficit you need to find low calorie high density foods, things with lots of protein help to keep you full, so you can still feel full in a caloric deficit, your allowed to snack just find low calorie healthy foods to snack on. Low calorie high density is the key.


I also recommend watching Greg doucette on YouTube he says a lot about that stuff

Anyone can achieve weight loss but your goal should be fat loss. I’ve begun my journey once again and I’m following a low calorie low fat high protein diet with exercise. 5 meals a day of approximately 300 calories per meal for a diet that is sustainable. 1-2 pounds a week that stay off. Check out “Beyond Weight Loss” on Prime Video. What saves me is now I cook and carry my food. Check it out.


yes


Portion control is key for me. I started there. I still enjoy the foods I want, but now can convert a big restaurant higher calorie meal into smaller portions, and enjoy them days later. Start off slow: control portions, allow your body to get used to the little reduction. Then, cut a little more, meanwhile try to incorporate some healthy choices. Just changing a little at a time, setting smaller goals will allow you to get to a calorie deficit over time. Your body will get used to it, and you will not feel the hunger or the urges. Add water, a little at a time, soon you will be drinking a lot more per day, feel refreshed, and the need for those high calorie foods taper off. It’s a marathon but you got this! Best of luck!
