Bridgedurso Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hi, My lunch (same thing that worked great yesterday) isn't holding me over today. I'll be home in about an hour and a half. I have some roasted veggies with me, but no protein to make it a whole 30 snack. I am not dying or anything, just used to being told that letting my blood sugar crash is bad for me. What do you all think? eat the protein-free snack, or hold out? thanks! Bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Bridge - I realize this is coming a little late, but for future reference... If you aren't feeling hungry, then don't feel like you have to have a snack. If you are hungry, go ahead and eat the veggies sans protein. You're not going to cause any harm by eating what (compliant food) you've got on hand, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraPh2009 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 In the past 30 days things like that have happened to me and sometimes I just went hungry. I realized that it is ok to be hungry! I am not going to die if I do not get my snack or meal for that matter. I have plenty of fat to keep me going! It was actually quite liberating to not HAVE to eat.

Adagio Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I too have learned that it is okay to be hungry if there is no compliant food to eat. Waiting to eat a good meal isn't easy, but it is well worth it. In your case, the roasted veggies would have been fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgedurso Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 It was interesting. I opted for hungry, which might have been fine if it hadn't been for all the spaciness! (detox? Hunger?) I walked to the wrong parking garage, then I started driving home like I was going to my old house, then traffic, then... And so what would have had me eating in an hour became three. My hunger signals were then a little whack in the evening. Luckily my gourmet grassfed jerky came in the mail yesterday, so I will always have a compliant snack in my desk!)

Elleon Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 FWIW most gas stations have hard boiled eggs if you are really in a jam for some protein/fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
