[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today was my 2nd fasting day.

I ate a huge thing of cabbage with a tiny bit of oil and red wine vinegar, a serving of pearled couscous with spinach, leeks, and mushrooms, and 4 oz of chicken breast.

I am hungry now but its manageable. Hard part was it being pizza night for my kids and not sampling any. But I had some dough leftover and knowing I can have a slice tomorrow makes me able to control myself today.[/quote]

Sounds like you are doing great!  One of the things that is really great about this way of losing weight is that it teaches you the difference between what true hunger and "I just want to eat" feels like.  Moreover, hunger is not an emergency.  It doesn't build and build and build ... It comes along and if you just choose to ignore it, it will fade and go away.  I used to get sort of panicky and irritable and light headed when I got hungry ... Partly from eating too many carbs.  Now, I feel the hunger briefly now and then but I just stay busy and it passes.

My meal today will be 4 cups of chicken broth added to half a small head of sliced cabbage sautéed with 8 ounces of mushrooms in half tablespoon of butter with 100 grams shrimp and 1 tablespoon of Louisiana hot sauce stirred in!  Sort of hot and sour shrimp soup!  Very filling, tasty, and about 250 calories!  Two days ago I made a curried cauliflower soup ... Warm soups are my go to ... Even in summer![/quote]
