Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Are you drinking enough water? Or have you tried drinking water when that " extra " hunger comes on? I'm having the problem today (my first day back on the Plan) that I have very little appetite, and I really don't think I'm going to be able to consume what I'm supposed to today. I sure hope I don't poop out on my cardio tomorrow as a result! > Hey everyone, > > I've been having a weird problem with the eating thing.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 I can't remember if you've posted your meals or not, but if you could that might help. It's possible that your carbs are on the sugary side, in which case that would set off an insulin response that you may simply be very sensitive to. There's also an off chance that there is virtually no fat in your meals, which could be causing you to never feel full. (Are you taking Udo's or flax oil or anything?) I'm sure there are about a million other possibilities, but these (especially the first one) seem like the most likely explanations. If you get a chance to post your meals, I'm sure we can all try to figure it out! > Hey everyone, > > I've been having a weird problem with the eating thing.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 My .02 is that you are supposed to eat *before* you feel hungry. If you wait until you're hungry you end up overeating/feeling like you haven't had enough. Try to space your meals about every 2.5 to 3 hours and see if that helps.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 My writing wasn't very clear. I plan to eat every 2.5-3 hours but when stuff happens and it creeps to over 4 hours between meals, only then am I actually feeling hungry for it. Most of my meals are 2.5 to 3 hours apart as planned. So I'm not feeling hungry when I eat the meal but then I'm hungry after!

It's too high in sugar for me. I find that after I eat it, I crave more food. It tastes good, I just think it's hard fokr me to stick to my eating plan after I eat it.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 I agree, 13 grams is a bit much for a " healthy " cereal. Thats what in the GoLean Crunch. The regular Go lean only has 6 grams. And 10 grams of fiber. Kashi also makes a ceral called Heart to Heart. http://www.kashi.com/hrt2hrt.html 5 grams of sugar. I have never had it though so I cant tell you what it tastes like. There is a cereal called Uncle Sams that I really like. 10 grams of fiber, less than 1 gram of sugar. And it has flax seeds in it. > In a message dated 6/29/2004 7:52:16 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > sparkles3212000@y... writes: > > > Sunday > > M1 3/4 c cottage cheese, 3/4 c kashi go lean cereal > > M2 1/3 c oatmeal, 3/4 c egg whites, 1 tb flaxseed oil > > M3 4 oz turkey, Ezekiel brand pocket bread, spinach salad with > > balsamic vinegar > > M4 3/4 c cottage cheese, 1 c strawberries > > M5 portion size grilled chicken breast, 8 oz broccoli steamed, 3/4 c > > kidney beans with salsa > > M6 3/4 c cottage cheese, 1/2 c fiber one > > > > The meals that set me off were M2 and M5. > > > > Monday > > M1 1 scoop Isopure protein powder, water, 1 c blueberries blended > > M2 3/4 c cottage cheese, 3/4 c kashi go lean cereal, 1 tb flaxseed > > oil > > M3 Veggie crumbles, low sodium tomato sauce, 1 tb shredded parmasean > > cheese, Ezekiel brand pocket bread, 8 oz broccoli steamed > > M4 Zoneperfect apple cinnamon crunch bar with 1 tb peanut butter > > M5 portion size buffalo burger grilled, 8 oz broccoli & cauliflower > > mix, portion size sweet potato baked > > M6 1/3 c oatmeal, 3/4 c egg whites > > > > The meals that set me off were M2 and really bad with M4 > > I just bought the Kashi Go Lean cereal and I really regret it.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 I love how heart to heart tastes, but I love sweet things and it tastes pretty sweet so if that kicks off cravings, I wouldn't recommend it. I've been eating mostly Cinnamon Puffins for the past few years with the Kashi and Optimum cereals mixed in. I think it tastes the best, it only has 6 grams of sugar, and it has 6 grams of fiber. What does Uncle Sam taste like? > > In a message dated 6/29/2004 7:52:16 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > > sparkles3212000@y... writes: > > > > > Sunday > > > M1 3/4 c cottage cheese, 3/4 c kashi go lean cereal > > > M2 1/3 c oatmeal, 3/4 c egg whites, 1 tb flaxseed oil > > > M3 4 oz turkey, Ezekiel brand pocket bread, spinach salad with > > > balsamic vinegar > > > M4 3/4 c cottage cheese, 1 c strawberries > > > M5 portion size grilled chicken breast, 8 oz broccoli steamed, > 3/4 c > > > kidney beans with salsa > > > M6 3/4 c cottage cheese, 1/2 c fiber one > > > > > > The meals that set me off were M2 and M5. > > > > > > Monday > > > M1 1 scoop Isopure protein powder, water, 1 c blueberries > blended > > > M2 3/4 c cottage cheese, 3/4 c kashi go lean cereal, 1 tb > flaxseed > > > oil > > > M3 Veggie crumbles, low sodium tomato sauce, 1 tb shredded > parmasean > > > cheese, Ezekiel brand pocket bread, 8 oz broccoli steamed > > > M4 Zoneperfect apple cinnamon crunch bar with 1 tb peanut butter > > > M5 portion size buffalo burger grilled, 8 oz broccoli > & cauliflower > > > mix, portion size sweet potato baked > > > M6 1/3 c oatmeal, 3/4 c egg whites > > > > > > The meals that set me off were M2 and really bad with M4 > > > > I just bought the Kashi Go Lean cereal and I really regret it. > It's too high > > in sugar for me.
