Key Takeaway: Hunger in a deficit is biological, not a lack of willpower. Prioritizing volumetric foods (high water/fiber), lean protein, and adequate hydration keeps hunger signaling under control.
8 Strategies to Eliminate Hunger on a Cut
- Eat High-Volume Vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, and spinach expand the stomach wall with minimal calories.
- Target 30g+ Protein per Meal: Maximizes peptide YY (PYY) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) satiety response.
- Consume Soluble Viscous Fiber: Oats, chia seeds, and psyllium husk delay gastric emptying.
- Drink 500ml Water Before Meals: Mechanically engages mechanoreceptors in the stomach lining.
