Hello all. I recently started the GI diet. To give a little more info on my background I have never been much of a vegetable eater. Today, included in my lunch was a blob of cooked veggies. Which was majority of my plate. And I felt satisfied after my meal. However, about half an hour later, I was just about as hungry as a pig!! I stayed on track and ate healthy snacks, but this was just after my big lunch! Has anyone ever felt like this before?? I would surely appreciate any input. Thanks in advance.

When you're new to dieting you stomach often needs to get used to smaller portions.

You may not have had enough protein in your meal try having a larger portion of protein 3-4 oz of chicken, fish, lean meat, protein keeps you fuller longer... You could also have MORE veggies in the form of soups or salads .... There's nothing wrong with eating again 2 or 3 hours after a meal, eating another portion of protein along with a carb or fruit, I love 1/2c of cottage cheese with strawberries as a snack in the morning or afternoon. It's good to eat 5-6 balanced meals/day, it keeps your metabolism revved and your sugar levels even throughout the day...

Hope this helps, and keep us posted on your progress..
