Nighttime hunger relief?
Started a cutting diet, coming off months and months of keto. One thing I am experiencing is incredible hunger at night that wakes me up and it's hard to get back to sleep. My diet is posted below. Last meal is within 1-2h of bedtime. Not sure if a couple tablespoons of natty pb will curb, but don't want to deviate too much from the diet for a while. Any suggestions???

the keto rebound took me 4 months to kick ... wasn't easy but I was also strict keto for 8 months I had lots of problems with hunger once getting off keto takes you'r body a while to learn how to use carbs again to keep you full
try a cheese omlet with some good fats and veggies before bed

Thanks for info - I was on keto since last November and only did carb cheat days/cycling last 4 wks, so was on 10 mos strict. I already question whether this is the right thing as I bloated, feel full all day while trying to pound down all the lean protein but then starve at night. I tried cooking egg whites in olive oil with brown rice and broccoli because the volume of egg whites is so much for 46g/protein, but no good. I don't have cheese in my diet - would be my downfall...to this guy cheese = crack...maybe I just have to suffer. It's weird because after the last meal and psyllium my gut feels full but my brain says no way. I might save up some fats during the day, though and add to last egg meal instead of the cheese - and might try the cotto as well, but I try to avoid foods I REALLY like on this because I crave them in mass quantities and I like cottage cheese.

I battle night hunger terribly before bed. - few strategies I've employed seem to work.
1.Chug a large class of water.
2.Eat a salad with just leafy greens and maybe some Raw ACV
3. Chug a protein shake or make a low cal smoothie
Really anything that add volume to the stomach to activate its stretch receptors.
I don't do these all combined. Just one of these three if I'm hangry.“If you can't explain it to a second grader, you probably don't understand it yourself.” Albert Einstein

Well, RESPECT to all those that can tolerate a clean diet as outlined above. I was going to give it 4 wks, but no sleep and constant hunger and bloat (even on yams, rice, oats) persuaded me to dial down kcals after a week and return to keto. I think keto works well for me and hoping after a week on carbs and clean I will get more efficacy out of the keto again for cutting.
