Wholesale - good thinking. Hungry- I was having trouble with that for a while. Felt like I was starving to death. Turns out all I needed to do was to reduce the carbs I was eating by quite a bit.

Now I eat what I want when I’m hungry as long as it is a very low carb item, and I no longer feel hungry very often, even though I’m eating less than I was - the power of the insulin hormone!

I learned that the old time remedy for anorexia was to inject them with insulin. They would get so hungry they would eat. Don’t know if they still do that or not.

I’ve low carbed mostly for the past 12 years. Nothing else has been effective in controlling my appetite. I did the low-fat (which means more carbs) diet for 2 decades and inevitably it failed and I yoyo’d with my weight. I could only stand starving after every meal for so long. Insulin is necessary but as my grandmother would say, ‘a little dab’ll do ya’.

Oh, and HPS had something called ‘aspabroc’ which sounds delicious! I had to order that too :)
