Answer

When you cheat and eat food, do you actually enjoy it, or just feel guilty? For me, the food is never as good as the satisfaction of overcoming those urges. I find that food tends to taste better when I show restraint and wait for it. When I get those cravings, I check out this sub and r/progresspics and find inspiration from the success stories of others. Best of luck to you.

I’m doing OMAD, and so far I found it helps to reward myself with a mini-cheat for a job well done.

I allow myself one piece of my favorite candy every night. No diet zero-calories nonsense - just old fashioned sugar and food coloring or whatever is in there.

I can really loom forward to it, and savour the moment. And afterwards, I’m good to go. Maybe still a bit hungry but hey, I just got my award!

Answer

Been there! I’m only about 2 months in…I’m getting better but I get sooooooo hungry at night…it’s maddening 🤬 I try to stop eating by 5-6pm because I have silent reflux…or LPR…when I get into bed. So…I mostly just grit my teeth 🤷‍♀️ Literally ALL I think about is food at night though…and worse yet…I watch YouTube cooking videos half the night (big mistake probably) 😂😂 All I can say is…I’m glad I don’t go shopping then or I’d be broke…because I’m not even hungry when I wake up the next day.
