Hello,
First time poster here so please be kind.
I have always been a size 8ish (weight less than 8.5st). About a 18 months ago I started new medication and since then I have put on almost two stone. I have also developed a sweet tooth.
One of the other side effects is an insatiable appetite which can be absolutely unbearable at times.
I have never had to watch what I eat before so I am really struggling with this. I have cut out savory snacks but do not appear to be making any progress.
Typically meals during the week -
Breakfast - two boiled eggs
Lunch - Left overs from the night before or vegetable soup (home made)
Evening - Sausage and lots of vegetables, homemade chilli with small portion rice, prawn stir-fry wit LOADS of vegetables. Tuna pasta bake (homemade tomato and vegetable sauce). Chicken / mushroom risotto (sprinkle of cheese added at the end)
Day time snacks - plain rice cakes, seaweed thins, apple or orange. 4 cups of tea no sugar. 1 liter of water. I also try do 1-2 hours of stretching / steps in my working day between phone calls. I also carry this on at home and usually do 8000-11000 steps a day
I have two small children and a hungry husband so need to cook an evening meal (I eat the same but with little / no carbs).
Please help me combat this insatiable hunger! Any tips on low calorie meals that will fill me up!
Thank you for reading :-)
