I envy the people who can diet by just eating less. That for me is a path to intolerable hunger

Only limiting carbohydrates has worked for me, and I had to increase my meat intake just to ensure I have enough nutrition, with the little you want to eat on low carb

I replaced meat with a protein shake

[–] psud@aussie.zone 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't think a protein shake will have the nutrients actual meat has though. It's really hard to get the nutrition you need on a serious weight loss diet and any food substitute isn't going to cut it. To add, I'm over 40 with a history of dieting (I have tried all them), so I doubt I started this with full reserves of a well fed 20 year old

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

this is correct I would recommend eating more than just a protein shake everyday
