LUNCH

I had two snacks instead of lunch because we were out and about.

#1 - zone bar and 5 Brazil nuts
#2 - 5 oz nonfat plain yogurt, egg white powder, frozen raspberries, toasted sesame oil

No hunger

I guess I forgot to post my Sunday breakfast...

No hunger. This has been my best day, so far. I felt satisfied all day. I had more berries than I usually do. Also, it was the 2nd day of adding the extra carb block.

This meal kept in the zone without hunger.

I think I have figured what works for me, thanks to everyone's help. :) :) :) :)

Adding the extra C block and allowing 2 blocks of berries has worked great for two days. I don't think I'll need this meal journal anymore unless the hunger problem comes back. So let's hope this is my last entry. After things settle in with this new plan, I may start gradually decreasing the fat down to 2X instead of 3X.

Excellent work Larry. I'm glad you've been able to use the diary to successfully resolve your early hunger issues. :)

Larry, I'm glad I was able to help you with the hunger issue! Good luck!
