In short, replace carbohydrates with animal fats.
I still get hungry if I don't eat all day, and it can still have some negative impact, but it's an order of magnitude less of a problem.
It took a little while for my body to adapt to the changes. I didn't actually take notes, and it was sort of a gradual transition for me, so I'm not sure how long everything took. I'd expect a lot of the benefits to come after the first meal, but by a month or so I think most things stabilized and my tastes adjusted to fit my diet better.
If anyone wants to know more details, I'm more than happy to share, but I'm not sure exactly which parts would be interesting. Just PM me and we can chat.
Interesting. I've had little luck with that in the past, due to carb cravings. A few days ago, though, I googled "craving raisins and cheese" (my usual craving) and found a page that suggested this (and other sweets-cravings) were likely a need for tryptophan.
So, yesterday and today I've been taking some L-tryptophan and it seems to have knocked my carb cravings down a bunch; I've not had a compelling urge to eat anything sweet today as yet.
I used to desire carbs, but not particularly more than fats. My appetite for carbs has almost disappeared though. When I look at a plate of rice and beans, my body gives me the "that's not food. I don't want it" feeling.
Thanks for the L-tryptophan tip. I might get some and test it on some carb loving friends.
Mmmm... rice and beans...
