Leenie: Oh yes I know, I was just reading up on each of the diet plans I had heard about. Seeing what each one talks about and what each one does and so on. Right now my method of attack is just trying to cut down the portion size that I eat. Instead of eating to being extremely full, I cut down to being comfortably full without that bloated feeling. My main problem tho is the "snacking" between meals. They are almost meals in themselves. So instead of making a sandwhich to snack on, I've been grabbing a carrot, some fruit, or some crackers. I just got some Wheatables - Seven grain crackers. I try to limit myself on the crackers. It's been hard though sticking to that. I find I crave sweets too. I took noodles advice, I grabbed some lemon drops to suck on. It helps, I have to get over the chewing bit tho. I tend to get impatient and crunch right through them at times hehehe. However, there will be no jumping from diet to diet tho. And thanks about the info on your progress. I'm hoping to make an appointment with the nutrition center that is available to the student here at Cal State. I wonder if they would do blood work for me like you get? i've read a lot of good things about the Atkins diet, and now you see all these places have added "low carb" stuff to their menus. But then again, they have some very good grilled chickens and salads as well hehehe, but I am definately reading up on them first before I go anywhere... as a matter of fact. I'm going to call Cal State as soon as I get done posting and make that appointment with the Nutrition center.
BrookyPooh: ooooh no, I haven't started it yet heheh I was just asking about it hehehe. I too like to eat and I was looking for someone who had tried the diet so I could ask them how the hunger pains went and if they had any. Which is definately what you gave me. I know the diet is just two small bowls a day and then a dinner, but I figured with the snacking you are allowed to (fresh fruits and veggies) that maybe that helped you go on. Course I forgot about the walking through the mall and getting a whiff of something good, and so forth... Definately good input! Thanks!
Hiya Ciiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnn............................ .........
What I was referring when I mentioned "you can eat what you want instead of their foods" was back before their points program. I looked into WW and I remember them saying had to pay for a program and had to purchase their food. But I was also saying that now you can eat what you want because of the point system that they have now. Of course you gotta control yourself.
Sue...
but you know everyone is different.
Okie well maybe something like that lol...
