  • How to know when you are satisfied

    Two isssues:

    1: I wake up, not hungry. I force myself to eat breakfast. It comes to lunch, and I'm not really hungry. I eat lunch, but its not forced. It is good. Then I get hungry for dinner, eat dinner, then about 3-4 hours later, I get very hungry. Cravings ... etc. Suggestions?


    2: Breakfast and Lunch are just pre-set amounts, and I don't overdo it (I dont' think). But I know we are supposed to eat until we are satisfied. However, I could wait 5-6 hours between lunch and dinner, and be very hungry, and then eat half a salad and be "satisfied" ... obviously that isn't enough. Suggestions? I don't want to be stopping, waiting for 10 minutes to see if the hunger comes back, eat two more bites and keep redoing that. Way to tedious. Especially in a social situation.

    Maybe have a smaller amount at breakfast to allow your hunger to build before lunch and then have an evening snack of some kind ready for later?
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

        Yeah - quite a bit. Exercise tends to decrease my appetite. The last thing I want to do for a few hours after excersizing, is eat.
