The annoying thing for me is, that I feel the urge to eat something, even though I don't feel hungry
I feel it's a trained habit from eating snacks and dinner while watching stuff in the evening
It's a "I'm not hungry, but having a tasty dinner or snacks to watch this show would be great" urge
It's super annoying, because ADHD meds already take care of most of my hunger feeling, but getting rid of that conditioning feels a lot harder
My "food noise" in my brain slows down a lot when I reduce my carb intake. I tend to eat fewer calories when I'm not eating as many carbs from processed foods (including bread, pasta, white rice). If I limit my carb sources to higher fiber, higher protein foods, I tend to naturally eat significantly less, and can go a lot longer before feeling hungry.
I'm not sure how the insulin, leptin, ghrelin, and blood sugar levels play into all of it, but I know that I generally stop thinking about food as much when I'm not eating too many processed carbs.
Im right there with you, but with beer. I used to have a beer or 2 every night after everyone was in bed. Sit down in the basement and load up a game or show. Decided to stop doing that, and had no urge to drink through out the day, but as soon as id go downstairs and fire up the games, id reach for beer that wasnt there. It was purely habit at that point for me.
As others do to curb their snacking habits, i just dont buy it, because that urge doesnt exist during the day
The Japanese have a word for it: kuchisabishii 口寂しい - lonely mouth.
That's a great word for it
Sounds like smooching or oral sex would take care of the urge ...
