Interesting ...... Still feeling good since having my omelette (cream cheese/spinach)followed by cottage cheese and berries earlier today. I have deleted my planned evening meal and instead will have some coleslaw with coconut oil. I am beginning to realize that 4% cottage cheese has become the magic food for my WOE (along with the bulletproof coffee). Here's what I have been experiencing: 1) When I was at Disney my go to breakfast item almost every day was cottage cheese with cinnamon. I started my day with coffee (only with whipping cream added) and along with the cottage cheese, it kept me completely satiated most of the day until my evening meal. I think the magic ingredient was the cottage cheese which kept me feeling full.
2)Since I started IF I have achieved pretty good success with my bulletproof coffee to sustain me until my first meal of the day. Since I started adding cottage cheese to my daily routine, I find that I am full longer and eat less that I normally would. The fact that its such a good source of protein and good fats just makes it that much better.
3)There are so many ways to use cottage cheese but I love it emulsified best! Once I get it to a smooth and creamy consistency, I can do so many things with it. I have added unsweetened cocoa powder and sweetener for a delicious chocolate goodness. I have added cinnamon and sweetener and poured it over black berries (my personal favourite). I have had it plain with strawberries - very good. I am going to try it with vanilla bean and nuts emulsified into the mixture for a nutty, vanilla treat. I am going to look at many other ways to create new mixtures (chia seeds? savoury cream sauce for an eggplant lasagna? etc.). It is just so daaarn good!
You know the very best part for me? It doesn't take the whole 2 cup tub to fill me up completely! Yes sir, I have found my new "it" low carb food and I am enjoying the benefits. Quells hunger and taste like a dream - who knew?

I'm doing the coffee or tea with cream. I may have to add the cottage cheese and see what happens. I'm not hungry until after noon with the creamy coffee, but may go later if I add the CC. What is the portion size you use.?

Bill, it was you who first introduced it to me - I read your notes about eating it I think in late march or april so I tried it. I didn't realize it was one of your staples though. It is soooooo good!

DB: first thing I do when I get up is a glass of water. I follow that with coffee /cream and coconut oil - and I continue drinking my water for the morning. I consume about 4-5 glasses of water throughout the morning. Between 2 and 4 I have my main meal and cottage cheese (sometimes I have the cottage cheese first). If I am hungry before 8 pm I will eat another meal - most times I do. My RDI is consistently about 1400 or under (it has been under since I got back from vacay). My cottage cheese portion varies - 1/2 cup to 1 cup or so. I should point out that I am doing Intermittent Fasting which means that I often go 16 - 20 hours without consuming anything except for one bullet proof coffee and water after my last meal. The IF is a key approach for me.

I love watching what you're doing and learning from it Bill. I am having a good run right now so I am very grateful. I want to be able to work my plan as well as you are able but I need more knowledge/experience about this WOE and my body's reaction to things :o

Yay!!!!! I am finding that my hunger is so at bay on this lifestyle. I am never really really hungry anymore. I stay satisfied on the macros (micronutrients) I am eating and it is wonderful to be in control like I've never been before. Keep up the great work! If you are on facebook and want a GREAT LCHF group to join, join this one. I found it has helped me so much on LCHF diet :) https://www.facebook.com/groups/LCHF4LIFE/?fref=nf
