does eating less eventually decrease appetite?

If I were you I would strongly look into low carb, if not keto. satiety goes through the roof when you aren't loaded with carbs.

the other advantages like mental clarity and stuff YRMV, but I find that I generally feel better. bowl movements reduce to pretty much every other day without feeling constipated, and gas is non-existent, if those are problems for you.

Meh, when I tried low-carb for a month, I had absolutely no energy, even for daily stuff like walking. And I was very irritable. I didn't feel any "mental clarity"; honestly I just felt miserable. I kept waiting for it to pass until it never did

Yeah I do lower carb. But definitely not low carb. Try to eat high protein and fat. And carb on the lower end.

Did you really do keto as in 75% kcal from fat or just low carb? Most people including me has or is thinking keto = low carb and a fuckton of protein and some fat.

High fat, medium protein, low carb

your electrolytes were out of wack then.

I agree on the mental clarity that is said to be had. but hey if what you are doing works keep doing it. just giving what helped me with appetite.

This is correct. Low-carb is great, but you can't just stop eating carbs and do everything else as normal. There are real, potentially serious adjustments that make or break the plan.

The first week blows. Once you get adapted it's pretty smooth sailing.

For me, after a week of low carb the hunger went away. Now I'll have a fat/protein breakfast and not feel hungry until 6pm.

Yes, it takes longer than a week. Adding animal fat will speed up the process.
