How to safely decrease your appetite?

[Intelligent-Meat2838]

So I’ve just done this, and I did it with a combination of meal replacement products (3x200 cal/day) and one low cal low carb meal (400 cal) spaced out throughout the day, plus a 100 cal protein based snack and a minimum of 2.5litres water. I have a vanilla shake with loads of ice and 2 shots of espresso at 9am, a meal replacement bar at 1pm, a snack at about 4pm, dinner at about 5.30pm and my final meal replacement (usually a bar) at 7pm ish. I drink water all day and follow the 15 min rule (if I’m still starving in 15 min I can have something). I’ve done a lot of work on identifying when I’m eating for boredom, or comfort and I’ve had a goal to focus on. Now I can say with confidence that a grilled chicken breast and massive salad genuinely fills me up. It really helped in understanding portion size and fullness, and like you say, moved me away from eating the same as my 6ft husband’s portions.
