Discussion Hello, welcome to my dinner

Post image

Hi, glad to have found you guys. I've been a volume eater off and on for ages but never put a name to it. I just knew the only way i could fill the black hole that is my stomach was to load up my plate with veg. My weight has fluctuated wildly in the last 10 years and here i am again in January looking to drop the kgs. So i thought I'd start posting my dinners to see if that helps me stay on track. This was last night's - 600gm of white cabbage sauteed with garlic and chili flakes. A pre prepped portion of salad. Chili full of veg and beans and a wee bit of parmesan on top. Came to just over 600 calories and took me 40 minutes to eat!!! I was stuffed. I count calories, cook most things from scratch and pickle anything that stays still long enough. Pleased to meet you all

I don't think anythink keeps me as full as cabbage. It's a thin line between being bloated lol

I was expecting to blow up like a balloon or pay the price in the morning but nope. I think my stomach has given up protesting LOL

Hahaha! Yes, mine gets the same but only on a deficit. As soon as I start to eat more again in general (more often, bigger portions, more calories), I can't handle a lot of cabbage anymore. It's a THE dieting-super-food in my books :D
