Mytwogirls2 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 This is day two for me and I've been following the rules. I found myself eating breakfast which was : 2 eggs, sautéed kale and 2 slices of bacon for breakfast Lunch I am eating at 4 p.m. Beef tips in slow cooker and fresh sautéed mix vegetables.. broccoli, Brussel sprouts, carrots shredded cabbage and snap peas because I wasn't hungry from the water I've been drinking. Should I force myself to eat? I don't' want my body to go into starvation mode. Also, what kind meat can we have? kibasa sausage? or already made sausage?

jmcbn Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 What time was breakfast? And how much water are you drinking? On day 2 I think you can't really trust your hunger signals so, yes, you need to eat - plate up a template meal and eat from it what you can, ensuring you get something from each food group of protein, fat & veg. You can have any kind of meat you look so long as there are no off plan ingredients added to it. Check the labels on your sausages (& anything esle that comes in a package!) as they could have all kinds of off plan stuff in them - sugar, soy, sulphotes & gluten being the likely culprits.

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted March 14, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 14, 2017 Yes, you should eat three meals a day 4-5 hours apart. You cannot rely on your own hunger signals if you're feeling fine eating that little of food in a day. I also don't see fat in the beef tips lunch. You can have any kind of meat you want as long as it's compliant (no non compliant ingredients). Unlikely you'll find compliant kilbasa but you might....

Breakfast wasn't even that big..... What did you eat like previously? Have you come from a background of food/calorie restriction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mytwogirls2 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 I am thinking the fat is in the beef tips I cooked in the slow cooker. I need additional fat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mytwogirls2 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 I've been on fad diets where my calories was restricted. I've been on all types of diets recently low carb. Calorie restriction eventually became the focus and then I ended stalling and not losing weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so this is not a diet, and a big part of what we want you to learn here is to listen to your body, and to understand when it's truly hungry. Two days and such a long gap between breakfast and lunch and I'd say your hormones are well out of whack and you've some re-balancing to do before you can really trust what you think are hunger signals right now. Plate up your meals, three times a day (the first within an hour of wakening), and make a concerted effort to eat what you can , plating up the remainder to eat as soon as you feel able. Your appetite will soon sort itself out, and you'll know when you're hungry. Remember that the meal template is the absolute minimum you should be eating.... 1-2 palm sized pieces of protein, 1-3 cups of veg (but seriously, just FILL your plate), and a generous serving of fat. No calorie counting, no weighing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you should do is reduce the quantity and have protein and nutrients rich food. We really don't recommend that anyone on Day 2 with questionable hunger signals decrease the quantity they're eating. That's not going to help fix the hormonal issues causing them to not feel hungry in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
