Chocoholix, thank you so much for asking all these questions! And thanks to everyone for responding. This is really helpful and is a good refresher of the basics from the book.
Choc, for a few days on Phase 1 I was having super hunger at snack times, and I simply had to eat more. I basically had things I normally eat for lunch: a few slices of deli meat, small portions of dinner leftovers, pre-packaged salads. At times it felt like I was having 2 lunches! But part of the SB diet is not feeling hungry, so IMO, you do what you have to do to get to that point. Also, I second everyone else's opinion about eliminating the sugar or changing time of day you have it and see if that changes anything.
