Late snacks: 5

Thursday was good. No snacks. I'm going to bed with a mild sense of 'I could eat something right now', but it is nothing overpowering nor does it affect my ability to sleep. I used to relish this feeling when I was losing. I saw it as a sign that I was on track with my goals. I welcome that I am having that feeling again.


It sure seems to work that way for me. For nearly 2 years I have not brought a lunch to work, choosing to walk on my lunch hour instead. It took a week or so for the hunger pangs to stop when lunch rolled around. But after that I didn't even thing about eating at lunchtime and I was never hungry at work. However, on the commute home my body knows that dinner was coming. As I think about what I am going to throw together the tummy will start rumbling. I'm always ready to eat by the time I get home.

Two weeks ago I started eating lunch at work again. After just a few days I could tell without a watch when noon rolled around. My stomach now has an expectation of lunchtime food and starts telling me so. Since resuming the tradition of eating lunch, I am less famished on the commute home and I find myself eating much less for dinner.

Yes as a rule I eat lunch and dinner, But I must be incredibly insulin resistant because I have really stuck to less than 20 carbs and fat at about 75% not a lot of food other wise and not dropped much at all so, currently I am happy to be hungry in an effort to see some results on the scale.

Thu - the entire HR dept except me and another temp is out on retreat this week...I finished my work including the extra work they gave me early - and I knew it would be extremely slow so I brought my book that I am taking apart to see details on their outline. I was able to work on that for 4 hours! yesterday. It was lovely. I took notes on everything, number of pages, pages in a chapter, what action, who did what, etc.

Doing great preparing for a weekend in a bush camp and notice the reduced anxiety around what the food will be. Because not eating is an option. I used to tell myself ...u cant eat your way thin. Thats when there was a crazy voice in my head asking What can I eat and loose weight..this web sight is the game changer.

Late snacks: 6

Friday was a so-so eating day. Good OP food, good carb counts, but too much food and a late snack. We had company for dinner so the tracking in MY PLAN is just a best estimate of what I ate. Ironically, the "late snack" was due to the fact that one of my guests has had WLS, so the LC desert had to come a few hours later to give dinner time to settle. I'm glad that I don't have to eat that way -- small serving spread over time.

Day 48 of 90

Rigid:
~ Maximum of 25 net carbs per day - 22
~ Water intake of at least 20 oz. - 40 oz

Probably Needed:
~ 12 meais off plan (equals one per week) Controlled and planned
7/12

Expected, and if happens, will not derail me...
~ 6 days off plan (2 per month)
4/6

Required:
~ If off plan, default back to plan immediately. I will be accountable to report this.

Start date: March 4, 2018

Interesting...this was the day after my 36-hour fast. Once I started eating in the morning, I had both head hunger and physical hunger most of the day. Kept it LC, but had to work hard on it.

Your observation is interesting. I have seen similar reaction with a friend after VLC . My thought is increasing carbs after a period of lower carbs is a difficult time. That rebound would send me into orbit! Your reaction has convinced me to stay steady with a carb level. Or come up slowly. Atkins ???? talks about 5 carb increments.
