That sounds great, I will have to try that sometime. I am less hungry but I would say my portion sizes at mealtimes are the same. I have always been a big eater, even as a skinny kid of 2 (yes two), I would order 2 eggs, sausage and pancakes at a restaurant. Hopefully it will wind up that I am eating smaller portions as well, my eyes are bigger than my stomach.
I am sure you just feel heavier, you probably have lost anyways! Good luck
