    Tried something new today

    I have been having a challenge getting my veggies in so today I started with them. I had 1.5 cups of romain, sprouts and mushroom to equal 2 cups with 1 TBLS of Italian dressing. Then to finish breakfast I had 4 eggs. At lunch I had 1 cup of spinach, 3 ounces of jack cheese and 3 oz of chicken.
    The problem is I have been hungry and craving carbs all day. I have not had any cravings since day 2.
    Yesterday was fine and nothing different on my menu.
    I am drinking my water too, so it is not that.
    I am on Day 8 and a very clean induction, had the Iflu the first two days.

    Does anyone else experience this? Days of hunger and or cravings for carbs?

    Re: Tried something new today

    Well, I'm a newbie to this site so not an expert by any means, but if I eat my veggies at any meal but dinner, I get cravings and eat more calories during the day than I would otherwise. I know the book says to split the veggies up so your sugar doesn't spike, but I can only eat straight fat & protein for breakfast and lunch or I will experience cravings and hunger during the day. I do have a great salad with veggies for dinner and that has worked for me so far. Interested to see what other say about this.

      I never thought about he blood sugar spike. Maybe I am asleep when this hits me normally.

        Yes, that happens to me. My diet is pretty standard (if not boring lol). I sometimes have pumpkin for breakfast..those days I find myself hungry quicker. Its as if it doesn't "stick" with me. I find adding some protein does help. I found a great sausage..no sugar..so usually have that and eggs for breakfast. Lunch is always a salad and some sort of meat. Then salad and another veggie or just salad with some sort of meat again at dinner.

        I am not sure why I get cravings at times. I think I have to be careful with eating sweet things even if they are technically "legal". I wonder if it has to do with the amount of protein and/or fat?

        Anything outside of the diet that has maybe changed? Stress, meds of any type, sleep?
