JackityJack Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hi Writing to you from Stockholm, Sweden. Have just finished the book and decided to start straight away. Meals 1 and 2 so far today and feeling great. I have never been a lover of eggs but I am working on that! Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeZaftig Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Good luck to you, Jack. I've always been a fan of Cadbury eggs but those aren't on the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercitaGirl Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Best of luck Jack! I've started today also and am excited for the journey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attackkitten Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hello. I'm Kortney and this is Day 1. It isn't even lunch time and I've consumed all of the foods that I've brought with me to work for the day. Maybe I'm just thirsty? I have such a nasty snacking problem that I'm battling. Here's to 30 days to remediate that! Looking forward to dinner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels4us Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hi! I'm starting today too. I've already thought of going for a muffin... more than once. But having some accountability here has stopped me. I want today to be day # 2, and not #1 again!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attackkitten Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hey guys! Anyone else have the day 2 headache? I just finished lunch (again before noon) and I still feel hungry. I think I'm just not getting enough fat in my food (salmon, mango salsa, and green beans). I'm saving my banana and coconut butter for when I'm really hungry. I think I'm just having the craving of food. I never realized how much time I spend thinking about food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninadude Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Attackkitten, Don't hold off on food until you're "really hungry". Food is not a prize, reward or something to stave off desperation. Eat! Build your plate properly and enjoy! If you're hungry before the next meal, make a mini-meal, not a snack. Also, be sure you're always drinking plenty and getting your healthy fats into EACH meal. That salmon, salsa & green beans could use some fat on the plate. Your portion sizes may not be big enough, which is something else to consider. Best wishes! Have a healthy & happy day!!!

I think I'm just having the craving of food. I never realized how much time I spend thinking about food. For best results, use the recommended meal template as your guide to create meals that satiate you for 4-5 hours. 1-2 palms of protein, 1-3 cups of veggies, and the appropriate amount of compliant fat per meal. If you do find you're genuinely hungry between meals (hungry = you could eat steamed fish and broccoli), have a mini-meal containing a protein and fat. Save your 1-2 daily servings of fruit to enjoy with or immediately after your main meals only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondjoyless Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 "immediately after your main meals" I thought fruit post-meal was discouraged because it feeds the "need something sweet to end a meal" sugar dragon. Am I wrong on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I wrong on this? Here, context matters. If you're using fruit as a dessert substitution or to feed a sugar dragon/craving, then it's best not to have it after a meal. If you've had your meal of 1-2 palms of protein, 1-3 cups of veggies, the appropriate amount of compliant fat, and you're still hungry (and the dessert or sugar dragon states don't apply), if you have some beautiful fresh berries around, enjoy them.

almondjoyless Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 So only eat fruit after a meal if you don't want it. Got it. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
