[quote=Anonymous]I’m the PP above who about protein and veggies and no snacking between meals. I agree that being heavier is not a problem if you don’t mind it. For me, I wanted to get my weight down so I am happy with how I look in family photos, so my doctor sent me home with recommended reading and a plan.

The gist is to up your protein so you don’t get hungry between meals. I’m veggie so i do that with lentils, beans, tofu, cheese. At least 6 oz. Add same amount of veggies. Eat it all. Then stop grazing between meals. Like in France, no snacking. Calling it intermittent fasting makes it sound like it’s extreme, but it’s just eating when it’s mealtime.

It was immediate for me. I was the queen of grazing all day. Then within 2 days of stopping the grazing, my sugar cravings stopped. Within a week, I had dropped a few pounds. Within 3 months, I had dropped 18 pounds. I now add 2-3 cheat days a week so I don’t feel deprived and can have fun at restaurants. I don’t graze anymore. That time allows your insulin (fat storing hormone) to fall in between meals so you’re not constantly searching for the next sugar hit so you can store it as fat. Let your body relax from that constant insulin high.

After those first 2 days, I have never been hungry. And I learned that those first two days weren’t really hunger. Just sugar cravings. I see that now.

It may not work for everyone of course. But my dr (a menopause dr) said it works for nearly all her patients. [/quote]
