  1. To me being restricted enough feels like: I eat 2-3 oz. of protein and 1/4-1/2 cup of veggies and I feel full and am not hungry for 4 hrs. The cravings are gone. I am eating to be healthy not to be full. This is a new feeling for me, I have always wanted more, more, more. If you are getting stuck you may not be chewing enough. It is like you can't chew enough sometimes depending on the food! Email in private if you want. Lucy down 46.5 lbs, 10 lbs from goal 3.1 filled in my 9.75 band
