Hello! I’m a bit too lazy to wade through the 40+ comments on this post, but I’ll add my 2 cents, @rkoswald.
Disclaimer: I’m an RD, and I am not super into prescribed diets, but I suspect that a few modifications could make this plan work for you! 2nd disclaimer: take this as friendly advice from an internet person, not medical advice.
I’ll start with your reported intake and wade through some areas that you can tweak to meet your needs. Generally, making sure you get enough protein, fiber (usually in the form of vegetables and fruits), plus some healthy fats, can go a long way to helping you kick those sugar cravings.
-
I usually have oatmeal with nuts, raisins, and brown sugar and coffee with cream and sugar at work for breakfast around 8 am but am hungry around 10:30. Try adding protein and reducing sugar - something like oatmeal with fresh fruit, plus a side of eggs or Greek yogurt.
-
My morning snack has typically been peanut butter and crackers. Try a combo with some sort of vegetable or fruit + some sort of protein or fat source. For example, apples + PB, Greek yogurt + fruit, carrots + cheese stick, crispy chickpeas…etc.
-
Lunch is usually leftover dinner from the night before (wife is a good cook and is usually healthy). Can’t argue with a healthy home-cooked meal.
-
Around 2 or 3 pm I tend to get hungry again and try to satisfy it with another cup of coffee (caffeine being an appetite suppressant). Food tends to be a good solution when you’re hungry
try one of the options I suggested above! Plus coffee, because coffee.
Lmk if that helps/if you have any more questions!
