Active Low-Carber Forums - View Single Post - Does anyone else have this problem????

Hello all! My name is Theresa and I just started the CAD program about a week ago. I find that I do not feel at all satiated unless my meals contain carbs. When I eat my complimentary meals I feel as if I've eaten nothing. Does anyone else have this problem? Then when time comes for my reward meal I binge because I've been hungry all day long. *sigh* I'm discouraged.

Also, the book contradicts itself with the veggie rule. First it says to eat 2 cups of veggies or salad at each complimentary meal, but then later it gives a list of appropriate sample breakfasts that do not include veggies. Does everyone follow the 2 cups of vegetables before EVERY meal? Is this an absolute must? On a few occasions I have been on the run and was unable to follow this guideline- so I just made sure that my meal was carb free.

And can someone clarify salad- does 2 cups of iceberg lettuce count? Isn't it all water??? Does it have to include other low carb veggies?

Thanks guys! Hope to hear from you soon!
