When I was lifting I had the same thing. I started taking psylium husk tablets, basically fiber pills that expand in your stomach making you feel fuller (they have it in powder too but it was nasty). I would take them when I was most hungry and drinking at least a gallon of water a day. Sure I felt like I slushed around and I had to pee every 10 minutes but I didn't want to eat everything in sight anymore. I miss lifting. :(

I've taken psylium husk in the powder form and it is a bit thick to drink.Didn't take it to feel full though just to keep things moving on a low carb diet.I think I'll give the tablets a try.Hope you can get back to lifting soon, it's definitely my favorite part of all of this :)

I add some golden flaxseed meal to unsweetened almond milk with some davinci sugar free sweeteners for a filling drink for both the roughage and to feel fuller some days. Tasted a heck of alot better than the psyllium.

What type of workout are you doing?

Thanks Nicholaix, I have had almond milk but never tried mixed with flaxseed.
Go Ya right now I am basically doing a push/pull/legs split 3 days a week.Normally would be doing 5x5 heavy but since I am cutting calories I'm going a bit lighter doing 6-10 on the push pull and 8-12 on legs.

I should have been more specific. I blend them together so it's like a smoothie.

Nicholaix Thanks will give it a try.Sweetincense4iam it's going to be a long time before I go near any type of tea. Something about it doesn't seem to agree with me but thanks :)
