    Genuinely, what got me out of such feelings was to not eat for a day or two a few times (not in a row).

    Learning the difference between real hunger and “stomach is just empty” made a BIG difference. I can basically ignore first-world hunger now without even trying. Also probably omeprasole helped, since a highly acidic stomach sucks and can turn normal hunger pains in to nasty heartburn that only certain foods can quench.

        Oh! That reminds me… It’s probably also worth getting used to exercizing in such a condition. Getting your body used to ketosis goes a long ways to not having a major low energy slump when the carbs/sugars run out.

        Of course, that also requires maintaining at least a semi-healthy level of body fat so ketosis has something to work with. Being a twig and going hungry is just going to suck in general.
