Hi all,

Just looking for a bit of advice. I want to start limiting carbs in my diet as I feel very bloated and sluggish after eating them. The problem is and i know it sounds stupid but what do I eat when i'm hungry? I always come home from work ravenous and look for pasta, rice, noodles to fill up I suppose.
I have a bowl of porridge every morning and generally a sandwich or pasta salad for lunch so im a bit of a carb lover I suppose. I don't want/need to lose weight but i just don't want that bloated feeling every evening.
Is it just a matter of snacking through the day? Im a bit clueless really, any advice appreciated!

Throw a couple of nice burgers or chicken breasts on e George and you have a snack in a few minutes. Protein makes me feel much fuller for much longer. Try cutting the porridge in the mornings and have protein (eggs, salmon, steak...). Even out your blood sugar all morning.
