Does anyone find some lean proteins can trigger over indulgence?
Hello all,
I notice when I eat some proteins, especially leaner cuts of red meat, I get cravings really bad. Not cravings for carbohydrate or any particular food really, but more a craving for any food. My bodies sense of portion control goes haywire. It is really hard for me to know when I am truly full during after eating some types of meats, and as a consequence I feel an overwhelming compulsion to over eat. For example, I can eat a filling 6 ounce piece of pot roast with dinner (400+ cals alone), and up to an hour later I'll still not be satisfied. I have to consciously deny myself more, or else I'll eat the whole thing. It feels like the same kind of loss of control around food intake that I felt before starting atkins. Meats marbled with fat (or covered in fatty skin) I do not have this problem with. Lean and "dry" (as in little natural oils) juicy red meat is the worst offender for me.
No other atkins ok foods cause me to lose control like that, not even sugar alcohols or nuts. I am not sure if this is a real physical thing, or a psychological one (because I find the food very tasty I want to over eat). Either way, I would be very interested in hearing if anyone else has a similar problem with some meats.
Thanks
