I have recently had some success with a new approach to my eating. In the
past, I found myself plagued with hunger pangs. I didn't eat because I was
upset or emotionally triggered - I was hungry. In the past, I had success
with a Protein Sparing Modified Fast that migrated to a low-carb regime. I
kept my weight down for about 4 years.

Then my weight began to creep up, due partly to restaurant food (hidden
carbs) and sedentary lifestyle. But whenever I would try the old PSMF or
low carb, something went wrong, and I wouldn't lose. Worse, the hungry
feeling was overpowering.

Recently, I tried something new - I ran my meals through a blender.
Yes - it came out looking too thick for juice and too fine for a stew.
But for the first time, I noticed that I was satiated with eating about 1
cup of food.

This has been going on for a week, and my weight has dropped, and zero
hunger pangs.

The typical menu was 1 cup water, 1 bouillon cube, 1/2 cup (frozen) veggies,
(1) 300 calorie sirloin beef patty. I nuked the patty, and then nuked the
water and veggies. Blended them together.

In the beginning, I expected to devour such a "small" meal. But I was
repeatedly surprised that I could only finish half.

My son made a remark that got me thinking - he said my blended food was
easier to digest. Perhaps my digestion is getting too old, and needs some
help. I may look into protein digestion enzymes, too. However, it seems to
be working for the best.

Try blending your meals and see if it helps cut down the pangs.
