I read a quote somewhere that said something about 'hunger being the sauce on the food'. I can't remember the last time I was hungry but I know I enjoy my food more because I'm not oversaturated with it...and I don't walk away from the table anymore in carb overload.

.

Yesterday's menu...

B: 1 over easy egg, 1 sl bacon, top half of an English muffin

Snack: low cal/low carb protein shake (110 cal and 3 carbs)

L: 3 oz pork chop, 1/2 cup brussell sprouts, 2 Tbs mashed potatoes

Snack: protein shake

Snack: 1/2 cup of mixed walnuts and dried cranberries

Heidi,

It doesn't look like you're eating too much but don't forget the protein at each meal. That's what keeps our blood sugar stable and keeps us from craving and being hungry.
