[quote=Anonymous]What are you eating at 6am?

I recently began a bunch of lifestyle changes including purging a lot of bad diet habits and focusing hard on phytonutrients.

I get up early, 6-6:30am every day, and I immediately break my fast with 1/4 cup of walnuts, and a 16 oz glass of green tea (I drink it iced, unsweetened ). Sometimes I will follow up with an apple or banana.

Walnuts are super heart and brain healthy, and just that small serving gives me so much satiety that I often don’t eat again until noon or early afternoon.

It’s crazy, I know. But, after struggling for years with peri and post menopausal symptoms I’m now two years into HRT, I’m sleeping soundly 7-9 hours/night, I’m moving my body every day and managing stress and my appetite has just become normal again, like it was back in my youth.

I have a lot of weight to lose from the years I wasn’t sleeping or moving or managing stress and elevated cortisol and plummeting estrogen made me constantly ravenous. I feel very good about the eating plan I’m following now and believe it will keep working to get the weight off. If you’re sleeping fine and doing some exercise, it shouldn’t be impossible to lose that gain - you should purge refined and added sugars from your diet and focus on feeding your gut biome (fiber!) and your brain with nutrient dense food that is low calorie - more plants, fewer animals and animal products.
