what do you eat for snacks for when you're peckish?
If anyone on Keto needs a good recipe for buns, let me know.
My wife has one she uses to make hotdog and hamburger buns that she says is amazing

There is a good chance you're craving dopamine, not food. We do condition our brains to generate dopamine from a satisfying snack, drink, insert "bad" high reward behaviour here.
This is what IF did the most for me. Allowed me to break that pattern, and re-wire my dopamine pathways.
I ended up finding a small space to tidy up, or called a good friend I hadn't talked to in a long time instead of reaching for the wine, beer, chips, ice cream, chocolate, porn, whatever. It's worked super well to break those cravings, and ever since then I am noticing when my brain is "loud" about something that is more like pleasure seeking.
One unexpected outcome was noticing just how often I found myself going to a restaurant to eat out or just be around the atmosphere.
For the most part, we really aren't good at keeping ourselves satiated and cared for. There are also the headwinds of being blasted by decades of psychological traps laid out by producers to keep us consuming. Learning about those effects is startling.
