LaurenStarr Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Hi, I'm on Day 5 and after a rough day yesterday having had very little carbs at breakfast, today I had a small sweet potato roasted with 2 poached eggs, an avocado, some arugula and carrot soup for Meal 1. For Meal 2 I'm planning 3 chicken thighs with a lot of roasted cauliflower and a medium sweet potato roasted. Everything roasted in EVOO. Meal 3 will be the same as Meal 2. Without the carbs, I feel full of vegetables which for me is a cross between hungry and full so I feel like I need the carbs. But is this too much? I'm not aiming to lose weight. I'm aiming to get a handle on my eating habits and emotional eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen_Suep Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I know that feeling but it may actually be fat instead of carbs. Try adding fat in addition to all the cooking fat and see if that doesn't keep you feeling sated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurenStarr Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 The chicken thighs and sweet potatoes are pretty oily so I feel like adding fat is overkill. I've read that you add more because much of it is left in the pan but I take it all on the plate. Im assuming this gets easier, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted November 12, 2016 Moderators Share Posted November 12, 2016 If you're eating the cooking fat (ie: scrapping it onto your plate) then yes, that's fine... basically you want to judge how you go between meals and if you're not getting the 4-5 hours, play around with fat Fat doesn't make you fat so if you added avocado or a dollop of mayo, that would be okay too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
