Hungry!!!!!!!!

[Sunny_0ne]

I was so hungry when dinnertime came that I felt faint and wondered if I would even be able to cook dinner.

So I switched my dinner menu... illegal shirataki noodles with alfredo sauce and bacon with broccoli, followed by a flax seed cookie with cream cheese.

I think it is the strenuous exercise in the mornings. After riding the bike and working out in the morning I have to take a nap. I am just wiped out.

I am planning to switch to walking tomorrow and see if it helps as it's less strenuous.

Anyway, Day 7 of my re-induction is blown to smithereens.

Yesterday I was hungry, too, and ate a flax seed cookie with 2 T flax seeds--not legal on induction either.

My plan was to keep each day at or under 15 carbs and 1400 calories as that's as high as I can go and still lose weight.

I think maybe I should worry less about eating coconut oil and more about eating real food.

Anyway, back onto the legal induction wagon tomorrow.

Re: Hungry!!!!!!!!

if you get hungry Sunny - try eating an ounce of meat (turkey, ham, roast beef) dunked in mayo or an ounce of raw zucchini or up to 7 radishes -- I know I harp about this, but when my blood sugar gets low and there is an hour or more until dinner I have to do something. This afternoon around 5:00 I had been out working in the yard for 2 hours and when I came in I got the shakes ... my blood sugar was 63. I ate 1 ounce of turkey just drenched in a teaspoon of mayo and within 10 minutes I wasn't hungry and my blood sugar came up enough that the shakes went away. It only lasted 1 hour though -- and when we started putting everything on the table the shakes came back...but I was able to stave off eating more than that ounce of turkey for an hour and in that time I was able to get dinner on the table.

Last night after dinner I just HAD to have my flax cookie -- I made a half recipe (1 Tbps flax instead of 2)...I could have made 2 little cookies but I made 1 .... I should have only nuked it 1-1/2 minute unstead of the 3 minutes I normally nuke it at, so it was a little "done" but that was ok.

Keep your head up - I've been reading your posts and you've been doing pretty well since you re-started...don't give up!

Re: Hungry!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Carole.

No way will I give up!!!

The one ounce of meat drenched in mayonnaise is going to be my emergency rescue from now on. I do get those low blood sugar shakes, but usually eat before they get too badly. Today just caught me off guard.

Re: Hungry!!!!!!!!

I'm never hungry, maybe because I am eating all the time. LOL
And which may be the reason I'm also not losing

Re: Hungry!!!!!!!!

Hang in there Sunny because you have done so well since you restarted induction, don't let a little slip up get to you. Just keep on doing what you've been doing. We're all rooting for you!

We must be on the same boat

Re: Hungry!!!!!!!!

Hang in Sunny. So you have to take a nap. Your body's telling you to rest, so rest. Your body's trying to adjust, give it time, don't rush it. Switching to walking every other day is a good idea, you're still moving, and getting the benefits of exercise.

Do you like string cheese? I keep those handy as they're wrapped into 1 ozs each. I like Frigo best, 50 calories and 1 carb each.

You're trying so hard Sunny, it has to pay off.

Re: Hungry!!!!!!!!

Mickey, thanks for the confirmation of what I think is the best approach to exercise for me.

Yes, I love string cheese!

I think I have turned a corner with the stall. Not only did the scale come down 2.8 pounds the other day, but it showed another loss today. I'm going to wait a few days to officially weigh, but I think the reinduction was exactly what I needed.

I REALLY feel great today. Maybe the extreme hunger yesterday was just my body's final rebellion against letting go of the weight!

HeeHee. I think it lost!
