Fat Loss 'Hack'

[bkb33]

I have been playing around with intermittent fasting for a while now; eating in a controlled window helps me cut calories. On my non-lifting days, I was going as many as 24 hours without eating. But lately, I was finding it incredibly hard to be satiated. I'm on Ibutamoren, which may be contributing to my hunger.

Recently, I discovered something that's worked really well for me, so I thought I'd share it: my first meal involves Fage Total 0% Greek yogurt (plain). Sometimes, I mix this with protein powder (Tera's whey, which is easy on the joints and stomach) for flavor; this combination comes to about 250 calories and 50g of protein. Other times, I mix this yogurt in a smoothie loaded with greens and other healthy ingredients (like chia seeds, berries, and Nutiva hemp protein); this is about 400 calories and 50g of protein.

I've found that having my first meal with Fage Total 0% has really controlled my hunger. I have no urge to eat until dinner and practically have to force myself to eat another meal (usually chicken breast or turkey on a salad). This is non-fat dairy, FWIW. I know Metformin is also great for appetite suppression, but I do not have that.

Hope this helps you!
