A salad with a bit of meat, or some soup I do have sometimes. I DO always avoid the starch part though. My typical salad is a big bowl of lettuce, with tomatoes, cukes, celery, olive oil, garlic, with some salmon (canned or lox) or leftover meat from the night before. I also snack on kimchi during the day. But it's a process ... if you need more at lunch, eat more and gradually pare down. It helps to remember that your body doesn't NEED the food, it's just trying to signal you that it is lunchtime to remind you to eat. Most people have, say, 30,000 calories (at least) of extra energy around their hips and in their glycogen stores: the feeling of " weakness and starvation " is a hormone-induced illusion. Sometimes very little food will turn off the signal (broth is esp. good at that). The whole point of the Warrior Diet is to get your body used to accessing the STORED food. Exercise helps too ... hunger goes away when you are working out ... > Heidi Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2005 Report Share Posted January 8, 2005 Thanks..... that's all good news. So right about exercise - we've had gales here and when it had calmed down a bit, took out our flexifoil (big kite) - wow! And no hunger. Really good news - couldn't think I'd survive on the plan I'd made before. Thanks for pointing out again that it's a process, and also that hunger can be a hormone-hoax.
