So I started OMAD last Monday because I was eating too much still and the junk and sugar cravings were gone. It worked well, down 11lbs this week! I am pretty sure that is my biggest loss in a week ever. Most of the days I was not hungry until it was time to eat again but twice I got really hungry about 4 hours before it was time to eat. I am still figuring out how much to eat to keep me satiated. I obviously have not over eaten this week. My only cheat this week has been a small spoon of peanut butter after my meal. I know I need to eliminate that but its kind of been like a signal that my meal is over, kind of like a dessert. Very happy with the result though!

Eating until satiation is different for everyone but the standard thought is to eat until the food isn’t tasting good anymore. Eating plenty of fat is the key to satiation. I’ve found it hard to over eat as a carnivore. As long as I’m eating enough fat.

Congratulations on doing so well.

I don't think there is any cookie-cutter advice on satiety and when someone will be hungry. We are different and our daily outputs are different. Hunger can come at just about anytime for anyone. What helped me during the early months was drinking water. If I felt the least bit hungry I would drink some water. Most of the time the hunger subsided with water. If the hunger persisted after the water I would eat.

Those times varied and in time the hunger stretched to 24-30 hours.

I didn't really snack after I started carnivore. Maybe the water counts? not sure. LOL. I would say a spoon of peanut butter is not going to be the end of the world as long as it does not trigger the cravings for more carbs/sugars. Almost like a gateway drug. I have read where people cook hamburger patties and leave them in the refrigerator for snacking purposes.

Great progress. Good luck as you continue.
