Well? Corn grows above ground, right? 
Thatās probably what I miss the most. Corn. Corn bread. Corn chips. But I asked for advice and I will follow the advice. No starchy veggies to up my carbs, just more greens. Keep in mind I have colitis so salad is not an option, but Iām sure there will be broccoli Thursday.
Corn is one of the worst things you can eat carb wise. The kernels are little stores of starch. Thatās all they are. If you want corn flavor use baby corn in recipes.
Wow, eat more calories. I know itās been discussed a hundred times and I know the science says to go ahead and eat till youāre not hungry, but it still feels SO WRONG to eat more if I can get away with less. Again, I will listen to all of you (who have a LOT more experience than I do) and trust the process. I can certainly eat whipped cream cheese till the grocery store shelves are empty, but I know weāre supposed to cool it with dairy so there again, Iām torn.
Quit worrying about calories. 1500 is too low IMHO. Eat til you are full. Then stop.
I have no idea why I almost gag when I try to eat coconut oil from the jar. I love coconuts, I love anything coconut-flavored, but the coconut oil just doesnāt go down well. Iāve even stopped putting it in my morning coffee and instead double up on the ghee. Too bad - it would be a perfect way to get more fat and kill hunger. Is there a taste difference between the refined and unrefined?
Are you whipping the coconut oil into the coffee? If not do that. the idea of just eating the oil off a spoon is not at all appealing to me either. Unrefined has a slight coconut flavor (I prefer this in coffee with HWC) and refined tastes like nothing.
