I just want to eat!!!!!!!!!!!

[brownie05]

Ok so the last 2 weeks, I just can't get satisfied, I just want to eat eat eat, it's all I think about is food, what is going on. Does anyone else have this problem?

I have been eating way to many nuts, and I have been eating cereal, and I bought the f/f whip cream in the tub and ate a ton of it I went through the whole container in like 4 days, what is going on with me.

It must be cause I haven't been eating veges like I should.

Any suggestions?

Like for lunch I had, black eyed pees and 2 cups of veges and 1/2 c cottage cheese and now 2 hours later I want more food like nuts im craving them so badly right now.

Your body's hungry. You're not giving it the required foods on SBD.

That's why you just want to eat.

So you have to eat like 4 1/2 cups of veges a day and eat meat for breakfast lunch and dinner and drink 2 cups of milk a day and then you won't be hungry right?

The right amounts, with each of the right meals & snacks. Remember the right amounts of:

1. oils
2. proteins
3. veggies.

These are the three required foods, with required portions. (It's all on the Meal Model Sticky. http://www.sbdbb.com/showthread.php?t=526)


Of course, you'll probably still feel hunger sometimes. But you probably won't want to eat all the time as much. You'll probably feel more satisfied.

Why not try it?

Excellent advice Nancy! Brownie -- If you follow the diet plan how it was intended you will feel more satisfied. :sun:

Thanks Mindy im noticing that. Yesterday I started Phase 1 squeaky clean and I was having mad cravings in the afternoon I just wanted to splurged on nuts but I didn't instead I was like if I eat my veges then my cravings will go away, so I had cauliflower and hummus and guess what, the cravings went away and I didn't even crave sweets at night but I did have the ricotta dessert as my treat It seems if I eat the ricotta it helps my cravings big time, but if I eat the s/f pudding pops they make me want more, so no more of those until Phase II anyway.

This may be off topic but I also know that I can become more aware of hunger if my schedule changes and I have more down time. Not so much craving like carbs set off, but just a consideration too.

So if your not hungry you should not eat then or make yourself eat so you get the required portions?

You never should "make yourself eat", but yes, eat even if you don't feel hunger pangs, so your blood sugar is kept consistent. You will ultimately feel satisfied and have much better control over portion sizes and the food choices you make. There is absolutely nothing unhealthy about splitting up your caloric intake over frequent small meals throughout the day. It provides consistent fuel to the body.

I'm guessing you probably know that from body builder diets Brownie!!

Thanks Mindy that's what I thought, if im not feeling that hungry i'll just eat something small to keep my bs levels normal.
