Question about managing CICO

Hi, I used to do OMAD but recently I’ve switched to a more flexible routine that’s been largely working out for me. Basically, I’m just trying to consistently make healthier food choices and eat until I’m satisfied, get 8 hours of sleep, and do some sort of cardio everyday.

However, I’m getting worried about my caffeine/sugar intake. I find that when I’m wanting food making a cup of coffee with creamer + whipped cream in it or chewing some gum helps to hold me over. I find myself chewing a lot of gum and drinking a lot of coffee daily, and I’m worried this is both detrimental to my internal health and unsustainable. Can anyone help me out with getting over these pangs of hunger? Even when I try to keep my mind occupied by doing other things like programming, the pangs don’t go away. Any tips or tricks? Thanks!

Answer

I got rid of them with low glycemic nutrition. Not adding glucose, lower levels, lower insulin, steady hormones & no addiction mechanisms. Most people try to manage eating foods that drive up glucose. To me that’s like an alcoholic having one drink & wondering why they are still a drunk.
