berries are very nutritious, and low on the GI.   Not a fan of the fresh here, especially the strawberries.   Taste wise or pricing.   Fresh berries turn too fast.

 

Fz strawberries @ Makro are only ฿99 / kg

 

Eat plenty of fresh local fruit, when in season.  Some not pairing well with corn flakes 🙄

IME fresh strawberries keep quite well when refrigerated after coring out the stalks. The Akhas in the CR day markets have the cheapest. Grown in the mountains.

 

Fruit such as pineapple, mango  and bananas are too high in carbohydrate and sugar.

 

Corn flakes are pure carbohydrate. As a snack, I prefer pork rinds or bamboo.

I actually need the non dietary fiber in the corn flakes, as I don't eat a whole lot of carbs.  Keep my intestinal track 'moving / exercising', along with slowing things down for the carbs I actually do eat.

 

Since I switch my last snack to 'breakfast', I'm a lot more regular.  Actually missed my cereal & fruit, as I stopped eating it for breakfast.   Was eating cheesecake, cashews & cheese, etc for last snack, but a bit too much saturated fat in my diet, since cutting carb intake down so much.

 

Get enough fats & protein in the awake hours of munching.

Try a couple of boiled eggs, fills me up if I'm peckish, even better, in a sandwich

I would suggest Kelloggs' Bran Flakes instead, higher in fibre. Available on Lazada. Bamboo is another excellent source of fibre.

 

On the rare occasions I get stuck, a glass of Forlax or Macrogol moves things along. I steer clear of Senokot, irritates the bowel.

 

I am fairly sure the chili  Thais use on nearly everything keeps them regular, because their constant diet of rice should clog them up like a tree root in a drain.

Depending of your exercise routines.

 

Heavy lifting and muscular you need at least 25% protein, 50% carbs and 25% fat roughly up to 40% protein and whatever you find preferred of carbs and fat, but for a thumbof rule, no less than 40% carbs.

 

Same works well for more anaerob exercises but no less than 25% protein no matter what you think. 

 

I prefer for maintenance now 30% of fat and protein, and 40% carbs. Works well to maintain muscles and keeps body fat percent below 20%

How do you stop getting hungry at night? Im never hungry til after noon but lots at night.

Theoretically, you shouldn't be eating anything for at least a few hours before bed.  It's hard to say, though, what you're going through and why.

 

Are you addicted to sugar?  Have you tried cutting it out altogether, along with processed food, ultra-processed food, high fructose corn syrup, seed oils, and so on?  Have you ever tried a carnivore diet?  

 

They say if you're used to sugar and then cut it out, the "hunger" you experience the next few days is just your body craving the sugar it's addicted to.  But after a few days, the cravings diminish.

You may think you don't eat much sugar, but you probably do.  It's in everything, or so it seems, and if it's not sugar, it's high fructose corn syrup, or modern processed flour which is almost instantly converted in the  body to act like sugar.  Look at the labels on the food you eat.  You might be surprised.  Do you drink orange juice?  For all practical purposes, you might as well be drinking sugar.  

 

I'm not sure what's banned in Thailand and what isn't.  I do know that, in Europe, for example, much of the food made in America isn't even allowed for various reasons.

My main point is that if you closely examine what you eat on a daily basis, you may well find that you're eating sugar or some foods that are equally bad in terms of how your metabolism functions.  

 

Maybe you should try to find a good dietician or a doctor that specializes in what they call functional medicine.  it can't possibly hurt.

Why do people get hungry at 10pm?

When was your last previous meal?  8pm? 5pm? 1pm? 8am?

It is simple, it is all about dicipline, same as smoking, alcohol, and using medication that mask the real problems.
