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? (lemmy.ml)

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).

Yep.
