How do I not eat a shit ton of food every day because of my increased appetite? I feel bloated all of the time nowadays as well. Any advice on this is welcome.

I have been trying to get some more meat into my diet. I know protein powder is industrially processed, but I’ll have some of that too if I’m going to the gym.
I CRAVE sweets all of the time. I don’t eat treats every single day (usually chocolate or honey), but when I don’t have fruit I do. I eat a lot of apples, oranges, and bananas.
What carbs do you recommend eating?
yeah protein powders are kinda a godsend for those who dont want to binge on meat, cheese and fish… which all can lead to constipation if overeaten (at least meat and cheese, but fish can contain mercury and other shit…)
still not a doctor: yes that craving is probably your blood sugar doing its rounds on your insulin rollercoaster. chocolate is good for the mood so im not suggesting dropping it entirely, but perhaps shift to darker chocolate types, the higher the cocoa contents the better. (please buy them from some good fairtrade thingie if you have the money :) the important bit is to not snack on anything that contains sugars in the sense of fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose or some sirup of them (which is just to say someone added water i think…)
instead try nuts if you must snack, but try to stick to 3 regular healthy meals per day and the cravings inbetween will diminish. again, i still am not studying medicine nor am i practicing it or anything just regular janet doing her own bullshit research and reasoning…
i would consider honey as better than processed sugar, but only by a margin. i did read about some honey with a low glycemic index, but in the end it mostly consists of simple sugars, so… even if i did have some low GI honey, i wouldnt snack on it directly but maybe use it as an ingredient and in moderation. if you like nuts, {i hope you like nuts, (pls like nuts)}, you could use it as the “glue” in a nutbar if you want to give it a go with arts and crafts ^^
fruit is good, as it’s healthy, but most fruit has a high GI (though being a natural produce they all vary in sugar content but on average;), but my google searches for “glycemic index fruits” comes up with cherries and apples having a lower GI than other fruit
bananas are particularly starchy so no wonder their GI is higher than oranges, but i didnt expect apples to win that one… grapefruit are the fruit with the lowest GI btw. but e.g. yoghurt has a bit more than half the GI of grapefruit, but in both cases, just the plain yoghurt, just the plain grapefruit …
anyhow. i would recommend getting stuff like bread and noodles made from wholemeal flour and also rice can be bought with husks or somethign and i can assure you its delicious…
potatoes? yeah i think they are kinda neat actually… and rich in fiber too. boiled in salt water, add some cubed bacon and you already have a delicious meal, perhaps some sauerkraut on the side too? fuck im hungry
I’m curious if certain types of potatoes have a higher GI value than others.
Unfortunately dark chocolate’s probably not a good option for me. I take stimulant ADHD medication and caffeine gives me breathing problems when I combine it with the medication. Not sure if the caffeine content in dark chocolate is low enough to not have that effect.
I do quite like some nuts, but they tend to be expensive where I live. Roasted pecans are the BEST. I love boiled peanuts but they tend to be loaded with ungodly amounts of sodium. I would eat cashews, dried peanuts, or almonds if there wasn’t anything else. My problem is I eat stuff in bulk if I like it, lol. I’ll try that with the nuts, not a bad idea.
I’m beginning to think all the bloating’s coming from salt. Maybe simple carbs like bread and rice too.
Thanks for your input 👍
i was just now about to go to bed when i saw your notification… so uh cool, but please eat them nuts in moderation xD your butt will not thank you if you dont, the nuts you dont fully chew well …ew they come out the other end just as big as they were and not any softer, so if you eat to much nuts… gritty.
anyways, im tired bro, take it easy
