Ideas to curb appetite? I'm eating way too much now.

Drink a litre of tomato juice before every meal.

Or water.
A good part of hunger/appetite is just that your stomach wants to be filled with something. Something which needs to be longer processed will retain that feeling longer, but basically everything which you can cramm in will do it. So at best something without calories, and do that regularly.

Is it natural yoghurt?

I'd make some more yoghurt with a spoonful, and eat the rest immediately.

Yeah, natural yoghurt. If it was with fruits, then I'd not ask.
...mmhh...I have some sweet peaches in a tin somewhere around...guess I could just throw them in.

 

[Borachio]

Hmm. Water doesn't work too well, I think. It just tends to pass straight through.

That tomato juice sticks to your gut like glue.

Honey is good in yoghurt and crisp bread keeps the hunger away.

I eat a lot of crispbread. But the manufacturers put far too much salt in it. I think. And I like to eat it with feta and olives. So even more salt!!!

But it's just rye bread really.

I already drink several liters of water per day...

Those I eat aren't salty.. they aren't crackers

That water drinking trend does no good.

 

[Borachio]

Well, you're Scandinavian. And you can probably afford the real thing.

I just eat Ryvita (tm).

What's the difference between crispbread and crackers?

 

[Loppan Torkel]

Crisp bread isn't expensive, but I'm not sure where it's available. Not sure about the difference in the English language either. I just found out the English word for 'knäckebröd' = crisp bread... crackers are more for snacks.

 

[Borachio]

I can't say I ever eat crackers (at least not lately). As far as I know, crackers and crispbread are identical. Apart from the fact that crackers tend to be made from wheat (they don't have to be, though) and crispbread tends to be made from rye (I've never heard of crispbread that wasn't).

But crackers and crispbread are both a form of unleavened bread.

Cool! The more you know.

I'm in the same situation. I blow through all my snacks so quickly, it can't be healthy.

It was a lot easier last year with the dining hall, since all my food was across the street rather than across the hall.

 

[Borachio]

Would it help to stick to three meals a day? And consume no snacks?

Well for me it's that doing water polo has turbocharged my metabolism and I fear once I stop doing it for the winter I'll gain a bunch of weight.

What's the difference between the glass used to make a candle holder and the glass used to make a drinking glass? Every time I've put a candle in an ordinary glass, it's broken from the heat.

 

[madviking]

Normal glass is pretty brittle and has a high thermal expansion coefficient so I'm assuming the candle glass is something like Pyrex.

 

[Cutlass]

So what does that mean in terms of how it is made?

 

[madviking]

It's an alloy; they add stuff to the glass to make it less brittle.
