Intermittent fasting - 16:8, 5:2 are both good. *@wellthatsunusual* when you say fill up on protein, which ones do you highly recommend? If you're eating a lot of protein do you usually reduce or cut out carbs?
I have lost weight slowly but consistently by weight training and tweaking my diet. I don't low carb but I calorie count and you can eat loads and loads of vegetables, salad etc and it comes to very few calories. If you then eat something along with that like lean meat or fish, you end up feeling quite full despite not having taken in a huge amount of calories. Whereas if you eat the same amount of calories but it consists of pasta and a bit of sauce, you end up hungry again fairly quickly. If you can tolerate the hunger pangs it probably makes no difference in the end, but most people (including me) give in and then you're back to square one.
I eat loads of eggs, turkey, chicken, and loads of vegetables. I love food, love cooking, and there is no way I'm going to give up carbs, but I do limit them simply because they take up quite a lot of calories when you're calorie counting for not a huge return in terms of staving off hunger.
I also eat loads of full fat yoghurt and quite often top it up by mixing it with whey protein powder. It makes it so filling that it completely stops any desire to snack. Ordinary yoghurt pots can have four or five teaspoons of sugar in them but something like Fage Trublend has only got about a third of that for a bigger pot.
