Yeah, I've never struggled with weight the way other comments in this thread have, but I made similar changes when I was younger and they've been one of the best things I've done. I have one largish meal a day, with one smaller or a snack, and focus on low GI foods but in a mild way. When I get that "brain is bored" style hunger I go for tea with a squirt of water enhancer in it lately.

Yeah when I tried the "eat a bunch of small meals during the day" way I felt like some constantly munching pasture animal and also had to plan for all that. And any social plans threw a wrench in it, as getting used to frequent meals also made me go brain hungry quicker.

Now getting some frozen pizza for dinner coz I'm lazy/don't have time no longer ruins diet pace for this week

Anything with a bunch of milk works well for me for quashing hunger. Weirdly enough I usually feel more hungry in the evening than morning next day (at the very least for first 1-2 hours)
