Since making the change I have really noticed how different foods have different effects on me. One of the biggest things I have noticed is the less natural sugar I have the less I feel hungry. I wake up in the morning and have a very high protein breakfast this keeps me going through lunch if not past lunch. Speaking of high protien breakfast this morning was Viking hash with two fried eggs, thanks Jen for the recipe! I will have my lunch and that again is high in protein. It's after my afternoon snack which is usually some fruit a tangerine or banana or some berries that I notice a difference. I limit myself on the fruit but even when I eat a little I find that a short time after I eat the fruit I am hungry again. The fruit seems to be a trigger in my system and I get the growling stomach and hunger pangs. If I have hard boiled eggs for my snack I don't have the same hunger issues. Speaking of hunger pags I just had to have a couple of my self roasted almonds because I was having some major hunger issues.
Tonight was a different for me, I was able to eat dinner before the gym, we went really late (7:30)! I normally don't eat before I workout but Michael had it all ready it was grilled balsamic pork with fresh steamed cauliflower. I had almost two hours before I was working out so I went ahead and had dinner. I normally don't like going into a workout with a full stomach but I thought I had enough time to digest my dinner. I found tonight my biggest issue was not the workout it was that I came home and felt like I did not eat. I have been struggling with being hungry all night. I still prefer to eat after the workout for many reasons , it gives me a chance to refuel my body (since we can't have our Progenix, its full of sugar),and there is less time between eating dinner and when I go to bed.
Speaking of going to bed I am on my way the sooner I go to bed the sooner the hunger issues go away tonight! Tomorrow we talk "cravings"
