3rd day and I am starving what's wrong?
| Thu, 10-23-2003 - 3:12pm |
Today is my 3rd day in P1 and my fiance has about had it with me. I have been so crabby since I started this diet. It only happens when I need to eat, by that time I am so hungry that I can't stand it. I have been on this sight and read just about every post and it seems that I may be the only one on this diet that is starving. What am I doing wrong? I can admit that I had no regard for what I ate before this diet so it's possible that I am going through some sort of withdraw. I have never not eaten sugar... once I eat I am back to normal and usually apologizing to someone for my pre-lunch or pre-dinner behavior. Any advice would be very helpful.
Thank you everyone,
Kari

The first day I started, I was starving like you so I made some adjustments. I increased all my portions, of only the right foods of course. And I brought extra snacks so I wouldn't be hungry.
For example, I had grilled chicken on mixed greens with olive oil and lemon. I carried an extra chicken breast just in case I was still hungry. I ended up eating only half of the extra breast for lunch and by the time it came to pick up my kids from school, I was getting hungry. I pulled out the other half of breast and nibbled on that. That was good enough for me so when I got home, I wasn't starving for dinner and not nibbling on anything. Same thing for snacks...just take extra to cover yourself.
Since you're eating breakfast so early in the morning, I would definitely take extra snacks. Again, it's not how much you eat; it's about what you eat and eating until you are satisfied. I find that when I start to get hungry and don't eat is when the headaches come. If you can, try and prepare your meals before hand to avoid slip-ups; it works for me. Best of luck to you.

Now I'll read all the replies to you to see what help I can find too.
edited to add: I don't think it was always necessarily hunger. I was always grazing and there were times I was so full I was going to pop. But, I never felt satisfied.
