yesterday i posted about being constantly hungry and was told i'm way overdoing the carbs, so today instead of having a bagel and cream cheese, i had an omelet with cheese and veggies, i still had my little side fruit salad with a spoonful of yogurt and a little granola for crunch, but i just looked at the clock and it's after 11, and i'm not hungry! i blew past when i usually want an AM snack without thinking of food once!
thanks for helping me already, i feel like i can really do this this time!
That "I really can do it this time!" feeling is awesome, isn't it?
What's even better is that as the weeks go by, you'll build up a repertoire of things that you especially like and that keep you fuller for longer. It actually becomes easier to plan meals, shop, and cook when you have a bigger bag of tricks from which to draw.
Awesome! Extra protein does make all the difference. I'm so glad we have such a supportive and informative forum here. You'll be surprised just how much you learn from visiting regularly. Stick with it and you'll be dropping some serious pounds and clothing sizes in no time!
I love that you took the advice and gave it a try -- and that it's working!
I don't eat low carb, but I do try to always pair any carbs I eat with a substantial protein and keep out of most of the white stuff and snacky stuff. When I eat this way, my appetite is totally under control. I do occasionally veer from the plan, and I pay for it with the hungries like crazy and need a couple days of good eating before I'm back to my "normal" appetite.
I'm glad you have discovered first hand what I believe is the big secret for me on how to keep this going long-term -- figuring out a good plan where my body is properly nourished and NOT BEING HUNGRY!
less carbs and more protein! it's working!
The protein works for me, too.
