I might be starving myself accidentally :P
Heya
So I am a heavy man for my height (119kg, 1.75m, 39 years of age) and I have run into a certain problem.
I have always had a unhealthy relationship with food. Most of the time I've sought out carb heavy unhealthy fast food, and spent my evenings snacking on various candy and crackers. Four months ago (At a weight of 131.7kg) I thought enough is enough and I decided to get a plan going. The plan was to increase my exercise, stop eating candy and unhealthy food, and just listen to my body when it came to whether to eat or not. I realized that I was eating sugary stuff not because I enjoyed it, but because it was a habit and it was there. I felt bad not having anything to snack on during the evenings, so I bought stuff to snack on it did not matter what it was really, so I stopped.
I have managed to lose some weight, which is good. But I am running up against a new problem. It turns out when you remove the carb heavy stuff from my diet I kinda stop eating. I have been eating one meal a day for lunch at work, and then having either Skyr (Icelandic yogurt type, very protein heavy and healthy) or Oats for dinner. This weekend I ate my oats but otherwise I purely forgot to eat. Yesterday evening I felt stomach pains and thought it was just indigestion but it turns out it was hunger that I misinterpreted as something else. And for the past couple of weeks despite going out on long walks and eating little I have stalled in my weightloss.
Anyone else had this issue? I am not intentionally starving myself, just trying to listen to my body whether its hungry or not and eating accordingly. Is it a bad approach? I know I should count carbs but the one meal I have during the day is from the caffeteria so it is very hard to estimate the calories in it :(
Sorry about the rambling post.
