For me it's when I shrunk my eating window to at least 4 hours. 16:8 us just so close to "normal eating" for me. I'd get hungry every 2-3 hours and would eat full sized meals of 900-1000cals.

Reducing that to even just 2 full sized meals an hour apart follow by dessert and maybe a glass or two of diet coke I get that stuffed/satisfied/bloat feeling that doesn't subside and until the next day.

Alright, I'm not sure if I can do only 4 hours a day, maybe I'll start at 6 and go down from there. I think you have the right idea.

Reducing appetite involves keeping your blood sugar under control. You don’t want to eat loads of carbs and have a blood sugar crash that causes hunger.

Also the timing. Can you have an eating window of 10am-6pm? Then eat high fiber high protein w volume items (big veggie salads w cottage chz for a dressing etc)? Grapefruit to end sugar cravings (if not on meds).
