I'm female, vegan for 4+ years, 24, 5ft4, 136lbs. I workout 5-6 days a week (HIIT, strength, mobility, and half-marathon training). I'm pretty athletic in my build (I build muscle quite easily). I'm currently trying to "cut" my weight as I know I'm carrying a bit of excess fat. I feel a bit heavy sometimes when I'm out running... and I also wanna see more definition.
My diet is primarily wholefoods. I don't dig processed meat replacements and try not to eat tofu more than twice a week. My plate is usually 1/4 protein, 1/2 veg, and 1/4 carb. I don't use tracking apps as I had an obsession for that when I was a teen and it didn't end well.
I've experimented with weightloss a few times over the years (who hasn't?) But hate rejecting my belly's hunger signals. I know I need a calorie deficit but I'm afraid of being malnourished. Is it possible that when I'm hungry, I'm not really? As in, is it habit or genuine hunger that is making me feel like I need food? If I guzzle enough water, will my body adjust and stop giving me a rumbly belly?
Any tips on fuelling the body to feel full for longer and adopting a positive mental attitude?
Thanks!
