I make sure that my head is clear off the stuff by the time evening rolls around, else it can interfere with bedtime. Sadly that's also when the hunger strikes.

I take two 20mg SRs a day and I don't have trouble eating. It's easy to control how much you eat though, since you A: Are definitely less hungry on Adderall; and B: You generally have more self-control and discipline on Adderall. It helps with eating too much, or just as important, not eating enough.

Try doing some rough calorie counting. You don't have to be super exact, but if you have some decent estimates of how many calories you're taking in on an average day, it's a lot easier to maintain control and not overeat. I'm trying to lose weight (I'm 5'11'', 230 lbs, so not a total hamplanet but pretty overweight) and I also love food, of all kinds, in large portions. I started using a free online food journal to track my calorie intake, and I pretty quickly realized that what I considered an 'average' day was as much as 3,000 calories. Seeing that number and tracking my caloric intake as I tried to eat less helped me wrap my head around what a proper amount of food to have in a day looked like, and my appetite adjusted pretty quickly. I only really started doing this about a month ago, and I'm down about five pounds. I'm trying to get more nutrient, rather than calorie, dense snacks for when I just can't fight my hunger, but even though I've cut my portion sizes down quite a bit, I don't ever feel starving between meals. I'm also realizing that going to a meal actually hungry can make it a lot more enjoyable, rather than maintaining constant fullness all day.

Sorry if that's a lot of rambling.
tl;dr: Keep a food journal and rough estimates of your daily caloric intake to lean to better manage your hunger.

This guy's got it. I was really surprised how quickly I got used to just eating better food and appropriate portion sizes; shitty fast food and soda simply doesn't taste that great anymore, gorging myself feels fucking terrible instead of fun. Don't get me wrong: I still love pizza and those sad McDonald's dollar menu cheeseburgers for some godawful reason, I just don't inhale half a pizza at a time/don't eat shitty nearly as often. Don't even really want to anymore. This probably sounds a little obnoxious, but food tastes a lot more interesting when it isn't just smothered in fat and salt/sugar.

You also don't have to be obsessive about counting calories, but getting a scale and just glancing at nutrition labels will really help you get a rough grasp of how much of something you should be eating. You should actually have a kitchen scale already anyway if you can afford a few bucks.

Eat smaller portions more often if you can. Idk most people don't get enough fiber, and roughage helps fill your stomach. Plus your poops are better. There's stuff like complex vs simple carbs, but I never bothered to really fuck with that.

Also don't be like my one friend that eats salad to lose weight but also drowns it in dressing

As someone who went from 150kg to 85kg, I can vouch for this method because (besides cutting out soda altogether) this was the most helpful practice I adopted.

Seriously, just have a rough idea of how many kilojoules/calories your body needs per day (they say the average human needs 8,600kj), set a limit below that so you're at a deficit and then try to estimate your way to that limit. The key is to overestimate the energy of everything you eat.

Also don't deny yourself things because thats just asking for a relapse. Have it in moderation and compensate with the rest of your diet instead. Want some icecream on a hot day? Go for it, but maybe halve your dinner portions or something.

Also also, never forget that every day is a clean slate. So if you feel like you go over just remember that weight gain is the result of long-term surplus of energy, so one bad day isn't a huge setback unless you let it derail you entirely.

I frequently starve for one or two days because I am too shy to go out to buy food. Otherwise, if I had an unlimited supply of food or didn't mind buying tons of stuff when I go do the groceries, I would be very fat.

My appetite pretty much keeps itself under control. Especially when I eat three meals a day, as it stops a desire to snack. I eat reasonably sized meals and stop when I feel comfortably full. Calorie counting is the enemy, it leads to ocd like behaviours which either lead you to being super skinny or super fat, just eat sensibly, if your stomach hurts after eating, you've eaten way too much.

The hard thing is trying to keep my appetite up when I'm in a negative mood, sometimes I'll have like one meal in a day or less when feeling bad, good thing that doesn't happen often.

You have to try to lose control of your appetite in the first place by eating until you're used to having insanely sized portions.

Get sick with norovirus


You'll vomit and diarrhea away 5 pounds in the first day and won't feel like eating at all for the next 2-3 due to,the stomach cramping and weird noises emanating from your GI tract at all hours of the day. You'd be surprised at how significant of n eating turn-off that is once you finally recover.

2 years ago I was 294 pounds, 5'10", and well on my way to busting through 300, and it felt helpless. Then by some miracle I actually got sick (never hadn't gotten a cold or the flu in probably 6 years), and that ws literally the exact progression of my illness. I never counted calories, I never significantly increased my physical activity level, I just got this psychological jolt that turned down my appetite a few notches because of how much pain my stomach and anus were in at the time. I'm now right around 200, the least I've weighed in likely 10 years and I thank Odin every day for making me as sick as I got 2 years ago.

Only eat when you're *actually* hungry (if you still eat too often, set specific meal times), and stop eating once you start to feel satisfied. Even if that means making leftovers.

This is kinda true. When you're a fatfuck you feel hungry all the time, because your fat is fighting to preserve itself. If you fail to eat too much too often you get cranky, and eventually hit a hypoglycemic crash.

Once you get trim you don't crave food in the same way, because you're not hungry all the time. So it kind of takes care of itself.

Going from hungry fatfuck to trim guy with no issues about appetite control took me two years. It involved working out, and changing my diet. The diet change was shying away from delicious calorie dense foods (meat, cheese) on a day to day basis, while filling up on veggies, beans and grains. That allowed me to feel full while consuming fewer calories. Think about it: you can eat a cheeseburger and be hungry a few hours later, but the same amount of calories in the form of beans and kale will leave you feeling stuffed. So I eat the beans and kale on an everyday basis, then have the cheeseburger as a once in a while treat.

>> No.6242514

What works for me is:
- Eat nutritious meals
- Only drink coffee, tea and water. Sodas only once in a while if i really crave some (on average 1-3 glasses a week)
- Keep busy..when my mind is occupied I don't notice the feeling of wanting to eat something, also being bored makes me crave for sweet stuff.

If you do end up snacking try going for things that arent as unhealthy as chips and chocolates etc, like an apple, some nuts or a cracker with cheese.

In the end it's all about willpower.

really strong appetite suppresants. It's really nice because you enter a meal feeling full, and stay feeling full after every bite. Without that satisfaction of filling your stomach you feel comfortable saying "oh, thats enough of that", instead of "FINISH THE WHOLE THING!"
