/c/café daily chat thread for 14 July 2023
(self.cafe)
Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.
another free and harmless method you can try is portion control. I've found that drinking a huge glass of water BEFORE meal, like 30 minutes really help with satiety. The rationale is that the body is pretty bad at distinguishing hunger and thirst. so if you could quench your thirst, you can just focus on the hunger and stop feeding when you are satiated.
i've also seen people changing the order they consume food - ie. eating veggies first before consuming meat and rice. You can also try eating lots of veg and meat, but reduce carbs. Brocollis and cauliflowers should be good for this task. lots of "matter" to chew through for essentially zero calories.
