I've been continuing my LCHF eating, but I have added the use of the hunger scale. If you are not familiar with it you can Google it, but simply stated, it is a 1-10 scale with 1 being absolutely famished and faint, and 10 being the most stuffed you can remember. I've heard about it for a long time, but hadn't really internalized it, and didn't feel that it would apply to me because I was an emotional eater and sometimes couldn't tell the difference.
It's working now, though, and by eating high fat foods, it takes a lot longer for me to get hungry. I'm paying attention to that, not worrying about what time of day I'm eating (i.e. lunch time), and stopping when I'm between a 5-6, which is satisfied but not full. I let myself get pretty hungry before I eat, around a 3-2. Last night before going to happy hour (at a pizza bar!) I ate two small chicken thighs, and then ordered a salad with chicken on it at the restaurant. Halfway through the salad I lost interest in it. The hunger scale was working! However, the real test would have been if I had been eating the flatbread with guacamole that the people next to us had ordered. Would I have stopped? I guess practicing on salad is good.
