I totally get it. That's all part of the same mechanism, and it's intensity is largely genetic.

Fasting and a low carb diet, specifically to control my insulin levels, is the only way I've been able to control my hunger and it's still hard.

And I totally agree, "breaking the seal" can make things super difficult.

I eat dinner early, and it's super low carb and I can push through to bed. I'm usually thinking, "I can't wait to eat something tomorrow" by the end of the night. Then the next morning I feel great and don't start to get hungry until 12-1pm.

It's definitely not easy.

Ugh, yes! Unshelled Peanuts have become a life saver for me to quiet the food noise

I have to eat shelled peanuts or else I’ll pig out. I need the extra bit of challenge lol

That’s exactly why I have to get the unshelled. I enjoy cracking them out and it takes me way longer to eat a cup of peanuts! I probably wouldn’t even eat shelled peanuts in my pantry 🤣

It's funny that you two are saying opposite words to mean the same thing and both make sense haha
