When I was a kid my grandparents would bring fresh cracklings ( salty thick hot fresh chunks of fried pork belly) I would try to devour them, they were so good, but on the 4 or 5 one the pleasure would turn into misery as I would always try eat that last one, what a mistake as it produced an overall nausea and left me a bit ill. Fast forward to a year into keto while eating a pork steak I got this same weird feeling…again! Holy cr…p I thought , I recognized it as the same feeling, so that what a lack of appetite, satiety is i thought, as I wrapped up the rest of my steak and put the un eaten portion in the fridge. Since that time i have come to trust that signal and just under 2 years into keto it hasn’t failed me yet.

Interestingly, I have been adding a magnesium supplement with meals the past few days and the satiated feeling is kicking in sooner than before and for longer.

Early days to draw a conclusion but will monitor the trend.

Magnesium can upset my digestive system so have to use with caution. :blush:

As to the original question, how long does it take for me to feel satiated after eating?

I’ve noticed of late, I start getting that feeling about 3/4 of the way through the meal. My stomach has shrunken, literally. I really just cannot eat the volumes of food that I used to. Eating much past the point where I’m feeling like I had enough becomes uncomfortable and not a pleasurable experience.

I kinda like it this way. My body is working, giving me the feedback I need and desire.

I have found that I eat too fast. If I savor my food, eating it a lot slower, I can be satiated with less food. Also, I enjoy so many different foods that I often find I just want to taste a food–not eat it. I need to do thing slower.
