For me, I don’t try to deaden the hunger pangs. I think I need to retrain my brain that being hungry is not necessarily a bad thing. At first, it was very distracting, but I think I’m getting used to the idea that I don’t have to eat every time I feel hungry.

I’m usually only noticing it for the last two or three hours before my meal.

I just stop getting hungry usually with enough intermittent fasting. Ime, eating early is what starts my appetite, so I often just don’t eat until night.

WFPB is a vegan way of eating focused on health. It recommends minimizing processed foods, especially added sugars and oils. Stricter versions also limit fattier foods like avocados and nuts.

When following WFPB closely, it’s necessary to count calories, because you are eating so much nutrient-dense food with lots of fiber and relatively fewer calories. So you get full without a lot of calories.

When I need a low calorie snack I eat things like pickles, hummus, grape tomatoes, watermelon, pineapple, nuts (though it’s easy to eat too many calories from nuts).

I’m not sure about proteins, but I used to consume a lot of soups to keep myself satiated. It’s crazy how water + something vegetable-ey tricks ur body into feeling it’s really full.

heavy amounts of fiber, fat and protein works for me and it has to be all three at the same time for it to work. i’m still transitioning into a plant based diet so this is easy to do with things like cheese (fat & protein) and legumes (fiber & protein)

and, speaking of legumes, peanut butter would probably be the closest vegan alternative to cheese, but it is high in calories so it’s not great for weight loss; but it does has plenty of fat, fiber & protein so 2 tablespoons max works for me when i feel a hunger pang and you can mix it with things like jelly, or yogurt, or cereal, or honey; etc.

i treat peanut butter in the same way most would treat a protein bar: it’s a quick snack that has all of the good things that you need to keep you going until you get your next meal.

also: this only applies to natural peanut butter; as in the kind whose oil separates if you let it sit for too long without stiring/using it. so stay away from the ones that have other oils (especially palm oil); or have sugar added; or are low/non-fat; or anything else besides peanuts and salt.

i love making keto cookies with it along with eggs and honey and they’re even more portable that protein bars when i do. i used to keep a stash of them at my work desk before working from home was a thing.
