16:8 - changed the 1st meal of the day and it’s all gone pear shaped.

[Sssloou]

Was doing great with 2xpoached eggs but moved to berries, yogurt and a sprinkle of granola for the summer and it makes me hungrier after eating than before braking my fast.....which means I then snack before main meal.

Anyone experienced something similar?

Do I need to go back to pure protein breakfast? Shame as I was loving my summer berries.

At least I am aware now of my hunger pangs. With the eggs I felt stuffed for 5 hours!

Is your yoghurt sweetened? The granola presumably is too? I don't do fasting any more, but I have fruit, plain oats and plain Greek yoghurt for breakfast with the tiniest drizzle of honey. Much more sugariness than that and I'm starving by 10:30!

Its 0% fat Greek yogurt - hope its not sweetened need to check.
Also the granola it would be a heaped teaspoon?

Will check

Have full fat Greek yogurt rather than that 0% stuff. The fat and protein will keep your fuller for longer.

Go the yogurt doesn't say it has any added sugar - just made from milk but the sugar content is 6% which is amber coded.

The granola is 12% sugar .... which although not colour coded is probably high sugar.

I doubt that there are extortionate calories but its how it makes me feel ravenous about an hour after eating thats the issue - so I get hunger pangs and cravings and end up seeking out a bagel....

Is there a low sugar yogurt available ? or a low sugar crunch type thing to replace the granola?

Ah - I eat full fat yoghurt, not 0%! I'm not surprised you get hungry after 0% yoghurt and a teaspoon of granola!

Yep you definitely need to eat full fat if you're having dairy on this type of diet

Agreed with all the others, full fat Greek yoghurt and ditch the granola, try toasted flaked almonds instead, crunchy and protein/fat in one.

Total 5 is a good compromise as it’s half fat of standard Greek yoghurt. Keeps me pretty full.

Eggs are probably the best breakfast for lasting the distance though for me on 16:8.

I add mixed seeds for crunch as granola is high sugar.

Right full fat it is then - its a real sugar spike / slump / crave feeling - leaves me more hungry than before I ate.

At least my mind is now recognising tthat his feeling in my body is wrong - where as before I just lived this constant and compulsive carb craving diet - always hungry.

This tells me that is v subtle shifts that tip the balance.

Should not be scared of fat!

definitely ditch the granola and full fat greek yoghurt like everyone has said - chia seeds (soaked for 20 mins beforehand) will make you feel fuller too
