Really hungry

[gingersmommy]

Is pepperoni bad? I usually eat between 1-2 oz. day.

Sorry no avocado is a big no

Bummer that avocado doesn’t work for you.

As much as I love cheese and pepperoni, something like chicken thighs, mushrooms, eggs, good fats (slap some cream cheese on salami) and such would be better in my personal experience. If I am feeling naughty, a big burger (sans bun naturally).

But if you are hungry, eat. Better to feed the need properly than throw in the towel.

For me, I have a hard time eating a large meal at one time. Eating until I’m satisfied could be like 3 eggs and that’s it because my stomach is like “enough” but then an hour later, I’m hungry again.

My problem exactly.

It’s crazy how people are so different.

Fear not! Read the label and buy one that has the least carbs and additives. You might want to include a little variety and add salami to your menu.

Eat to satisfy your hunger. If your body wants more energy, eat more fat and protein. When you satisfy your hunger, stop eating.

[MooBoom]

Your body is doing something that needs some extra energy. Indulge it.

This time you beat me to it

Maybe it’s due to so many years of eating small portions 4 to 5 times a day? I don’t think I want to “train” my stomach to hold more food! lol Certain things I can eat a lot of are: pizza and casserole type dishes but other than that, I’m miserable. The holidays are crazy because I could put my whole meal on a small plate instead of the double decker large plates that people usually use at Thanksgiving or Christmas etc.

This was my experience. I had to learn to eat two bigger meals to build my fasting muscle which meant eating past satiety with fat. I learned to do this following Megan Ramos’s advice and program at IDM.

Who is that?

[Jody2]

IDM (Intensive Dietary Mgmt) is Dr Jason Fung’s program. He wrote The Diabetes Code, The Obesity Code, Guide to Fasting… Megan does all the Q&A’s, video’s, she’s kind of the ‘face’ of the IDM program.

IDM program’s focus is on fasting.

I’ve eaten small amounts since I was a child. But I would like to stay at TMAD so guess I will have to just retrain myself to eat more (and more slowly.)
