If you’ve ever tried to shed a few pounds, you know the feeling. The constant, nagging hunger. The late-night cravings. It's that sense of deprivation that makes you feel so unhappy and leads to your quitting. Many people think that this battle is simply a part of dieting, a matter of willpower, something that, like it or not, you will either win or lose.

 

But does dieting have to be a nuclear arms race with your body? What if you could eat as much as you wanted and still lose weight and get healthy? When properly executed, a ketogenic diet offers a wide range of solutions to people fighting all kinds of chronic hunger and is not a vigilante quest to end one’s life via greasy food porn. The solution is not willpower; it is a schedule and food choices that eliminate the struggle in the first place and keep you comfortably content from the morning until bedtime.

 

Satiety Secret: Why Keto Works

Dieting doesn’t work because it is based on a chimera: the notion that you can indem a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet. Carbs especially the processed ones cause a spike in your blood sugar. This might be a quick surge, but the crash is intense and leaves you tired and starving. This roller coaster is a major driver of cravings and overeating.

The keto diet flips this script. Your blood sugar stays steady by reducing carbs and focusing on the right type of fatty foods. But what is it that makes these socks magic, anyway?

1. Fat is incredibly satiating. Fat is the highest calorie macronutrient and your body works forever to burn it off. With all of that momentum behind other healthy fats — from sources like avocado, olive oil and nuts — you’ll naturally eat until your belly is full and be appeased for hours.
2. Ketones are natural appetite suppressants. When your body is in a state of ketosis, which is that you’re burning fat instead of sugar and you start to make ketones as an energy source, that one of the side effects of that is that the appetite becomes very powerfully suppressed. For the person who has ever fought an insatiable appetite, this is a game changer.

By prioritizing satiety-generating real foods, you can say goodbye to hunger — forever — and greet an eating method that feels easy and indulgent instead.

 

Your Meal Plan for Satisfaction

This is not a one size fits all do this do that programme, this is a ‘pick your own’ version of why you should care about the if it fits your macros numbers and why you should eat different groups of macronutrients but at the right time! Try to orient your meals more around fat and protein that really keep you full.

Breakfast: Start Your Day Strong

For the low-fat yogurt and cereal, it’s best to leave those back on Earth. Your breakfast should prepare you for a day without hunger.

• Option 1: Cheesy two or three scrambled eggs with half an avocado, sliced. And the protein and fat will satisfy you for hours to boot.
• Option 2: A keto smoothie made with unsweetened almond milk, a scoop of protein powder, a tablespoon of MCT or coconut oil, and a handful of spinach. This is your quick and easy step to a fat-fueled start.
• Option 3: Full-fat Greek yogurt (unsweetened) and a small portion of nuts and seeds.

Lunch: A Big, Satisfying Meal

Don't skimp on lunch. Eating three square meals during the day is going to make it less appealing to snack on a crappy snack at 3pm.

• Option 1: A massive green salad piled high with some fatty protein — grilled salmon, or some bacon bits — and doused in a rich olive oil-based vinaigrette.
• Option 2: Use some of the leftovers from last night’s dinner (suggestions at the end of this post). Leftovers are a keto soldier’s best friend.
• Option 3: A simple tuna salad (full-fat mayo, ideally), in lettuce cups or cut into mini-slices of bell pepper.

 

Dinner: A Delicious Reward

Your dinner is the one meal of the day where you should feel like you’re winding down and finding sustenance at the same time.

• Option 1: A shiny steak, sizzled hard in butter, served with buttery roast Brussels sprouts or broccoli.
• Option 2: Low and slow chicken curry with full-fat coconut milk over riced cauliflower.
• Option 3: Cheeseburger sans bun, bacon and avocado, side of sauteed mushrooms.

 

When You Don’t Feel Like Prepping:

You might not get as hungry between meals on keto as you used to, but it’s still a good idea to have some options on hand.

• A few nuts (macadamias, almonds).
• A couple of slices of cheese, or a cheese stick.
• Celery sticks with cream cheese.
• Beef jerky or pork rinds.

Tools of Satiation in Your Toolbox: Beyond the Plate

Keto success is about more than food. Here are some essential strategies to help you stay full and in control.

• Hydration Is Key. Sometimes you’re hungry, when you think you’re actually thirsty. If you do it consciously each time you eat (sip water throughout the day) — it can make all the difference. You can also put some salt into your water to help balance your electrolytes.
• Don't Fear Fat. For decades we’ve been told fat makes us fat. For the most part, on keto, this mindset sucks. Eat your body’s main fuel, some healthy fats. They’re the key to feeling full and satisfied — and to following the diet and lifestyle choices that can help you get the nutrients your body needs to function.
• Listen to Your Body. Read your body’s hunger and stomach signals. With keto, your body knows more accurately when you need more energy because it isn’t being messed with by a roller coaster ride of blood sugar like before. Instead, pay attention for genuine hunger rather than automatically stopping to eat because it’s “normal” mealtime; or you’re bored.

The keto diet is a not a hypertrend. It’s an insanely powerful sense of what being good at controlling your appetite and feeling of cravings feels like. Trying to trick yourself into repatterning how you think about food, so that you at least aspire to some sort of sane regimen in which being full isn’t a mad-crazy exception but the norm.
