Waht exactly does restriction feel like. How will I know if I have restriction.

I too and interested in the answer to this question. I know when I am full, when it fills like if I eat another bite I will brust , wait that is over full I think! I have heard it is more pain than a feeling of fuliness.

Great Question Cindy!

I know in my opinion when I reached my sweet spot I just knew. I remember posting question after question asking but how will I know?? How long will it take?

It will come to the stage where food isnt constantly on your mind. You will eat a small amount of food and you will feel full rather quickly, it will also keep you satisfied for 4 hrs or so.

There are days when I will have a naughty day and eat chocolate, ice cream and lots of bad stuff. I think during these days that maybe my fill is disappating but then I get back onto the solid proteins and realise that I still do have great restriction. No matter how much restriction you have you will always be able to easily eat chocolate and ice cream, remember that when you are working your way up to the sweet spot.

Good Luck

So the lesson is... stay away from Chocolate and Ice Cream or at least eat them after a good solid protein meal?

I actually think I can live with that which is good for me since for a long time my mindset was " I can't stay away from one food for LIFE..." but if I just have to eat decent first I could live with that.
