In no way do I miss the days where I had to eat every two or three hours in order to feel sane. One of the best things that eating a diet low in carbs and high in fat has given me is that I don’t have to eat all the time. I can eat my three square meals and be fine.
And if I find myself in a situation where I have to postpone or even skip a meal, that goes well too. I have learned that not eating no longer sends me into this near-death-state that my high carb low fat diet used to do.
It may seem like a little thing but for me it has been a huge change!
I have also started eating larger meals and that plays a role as well. I no longer feel I have to watch my calories as I did before where I would always deliberately undereat a little just in case I would rob a candy store on my way home from work. I do understand how counterproductive this method is and obviously feeding my body sufficient fuel also makes a big difference. And then again.. earlier, a large carb rich meal would still leave me hungry after 2-3 hours. Now my experience is that larger the meal, the longer the fullness.
I thrive on fewer larger meals. Every time I read an article about digestive distress, the recommendation is to eat small meals frequently. Well, the opposite is true in my case. Larger meals also means larger periods with no food and my digestive system seems to like that.
Today I want to share some breakfast inspiration with you. No recipes required. They are that simple. And they are all meals that have kept me full for a good 5-6 hours or more.
Enjoy!

For me, eating larger (LCHF) meals have given me:
- less hunger and obsession with food
- less digestive distress
- better tasting meals
- less cravings
