jmcbn Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hey Jamy Your meals are looking so much better (and that roasted spicy orange pork loin sounds amazing BTW) - good to see you took our comments on board Re the lack of appetite - this is fairly common for a lot of people at various stages throughout the program. Unfortunately not eating perpetuates the problem so our advice is always to try - plate up a template meal, eat as much of it as you can (trying to get a little of each food group), and then eat the remainder as soon as you are able (ie. don't wait until your next meal time) - trust me on this, your appetite will soon come around again... Almost half way there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted May 19, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 19, 2016 It's looking good bud! Glad you're feeling good! Don't forget the added fat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamy Smith Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 Thank you!! Most of my added fat is coming from cooking with EVOO, coconut oil, unsweetened coconut milk or eating avocados. I think I have eaten about 25 avocados this month. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcbn Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Any chance you could keep an emergency stash of food at work for these situations? A pouch of olives, & some tinned fish or boiled eggs even? That way if there is some fruit you *kind of* have a meal... Not an ideal meal, but a meal nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamy Smith Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 I am def going to stock up some food at work for these emergency situations. Its very mentally tough having to wait until 6pm to eat if you werent able to eat lunch due to a long meeting. Especially with all of the junk food that ALWAYS seems to be around our office.

madness Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I have Epic bars and nuts stashed all over the place in case of emergencies - at work, in my backpack, even at the house. I've suffered tremendously when skipping a meal and won't let that happen again! I haven't used them so far but at least I'm prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted May 30, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 30, 2016 Hey Jamy! Looks like you're nearing the end... one last comment... not eating when you wake up not hungry and not eating three proper meals a day perpetuates not being hungry... there's definitely a pattern to seeing your meals when you're eating well you eat 3 meals a day and when you start skipping, you rely on fruit, nut butter and for an adult man, don't eat nearly enough... Your day 27 is extremely concerning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your day 27 is extremely concerning... Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I am nearing the end. Today is Day 30! Its been a real challenge for me. Some days are much harder than others, and some days it was VERY difficult to eat as much food as I needed to. I have learned though that I do not need all of the junk and crap that I used to shovel into my face when I was bored or stressed. I have also learned the importance of being more aware of what you are putting into your body, and the impact that it has on how you feel. This has been a very enlightening experience for me. Oh, and it only took me 30 days to figure out how to respond directly to a post........LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamy Smith Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Day 29 - Monday May 30th, 2016 Happy Memorial Day! Breakfast: Mushroom & ground italian sausage frittata w/ unsweetened coconut milk 1 banana Lunch: 1 banana Almond butter Dinner: 2 Grilled grass-fed beef hamburger (no bun) 1/2 sliced avocado 1 large slice of tomato Cucumber, grape tomato & onion salad w/ a homemade vinaigrette Today was much easier than I thought it was going to be. I had friends over for a BBQ for Memorial Day, and normally I spend the entire day eating food that I shouldnt, and consuming many beers or glasses of wine. Instead, I ate a very healthy version of what I normally do, and poured Gingerade Kombucha into a wine glass and added 2 sliced fresh strawberries. This was refreshing and allowed me to feel like I was participating in the festivities with my friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
