hey everyone,

I'm having a hard time to finish eating within the 20-30 minutes limit...first of all...my food is so little...really how do you manage to eat more than 20 mins? Also what are you guys usually eating for lunch and dinner? Any good ideas for me?

What is the 20-30 limit? Are you supposed to not eat longer than that? Or are you supposed to eat for that long? I don't get it?

I have a protein shake every day for breakfast. Lunch is usually something very small. I'm not usually hungry so I might have a little soup or some cheese and crackers. I'm taking a few night classes so for dinner M-Th I drive through Taco Bell and get pintos and cheese and have a little snack when I get home at 10. On nights I don't have class, I usually eat something with chicken and vegetables or soup. I try to take as long as I can...at least 30 minutes to eat dinner. It's very hard to eat that slowly sometimes, especially if I let myself get too hungry. You will learn it in time. Just take small bites and set the fork down in between. Chew well and wait until you feel that bite go through before taking another one.
