This is a really interesting discussion!
What I've been struggling with my whole life, and continue to struggle with on low-carb, is using food for comfort when I'm tired/stressed/bummed out. This usually happens in the evening. What I do is retreat to the 'safety' of my sofa with a good book and a plate or two of .... something. Used to be chips and chocolate, now it's nuts, cheese, sliced ham, homemade low carb chocolate, etc. I know it's psychological, not hunger, and low-carb has reduced the tendency, but I can't seem to shake it! The best thing I can do is not have those 'trigger' foods in the house, which means, recently, not buying cheese. I know portion control is the key, but that's my downfall - so in the meantime, zero is best.
