My Diet - Not Eating Enough? Posted: 03-08-06 05:33am
Hi guys, here is a typical day of my diet
and what it has been for about 5 days
now:
2 shredded wheat and soya milk - carbs
35g, protein
pear and a soya yoghurt - carbs ?, protein
?, fat ?
Half a red pepper with 1/3 tub houmous
1 actimel - a good bacteria drink - carbs
10g, protein?, fat?
Fish with salad - carbs ?, protein 20g,
fat ?
2 rice cakes (not actual cakes! Like
crackers)
2 celery sticks with 1/3 tub houmous
meat with veg and a fistful of brown rice
- carbs ?, protein 25g, fat?
Soya yoghurt or 1 shredded wheat with soya
milk or a boiled egg
i still need to work out carb, protein and
fat count for alot of this.....I think my
carbs and protein r ok...But im not
getting enough fat :shock: . Guys I am
starving, last nite I felt faint
throughout the nite and im convinced its
because im not eating enough...Im not full
from these meals and snacks..Do u think
the above is enough to eat? Im worried
about losing weight. Stan u mentioned
olive oil for fat - I was thinking of
drizzling some on my salad? Are there any
other sources of fat? Maybe I could have
a whole tub of houmous a day? I was
thinking of adding a small potato to the
salad. Also I cant have nuts as they r
bad for candida..... :roll: where can I
put more fruit in? Like berries and
stuff...I need to eat berries with
soemthing not on their own.
The worst thing about this is that im
eating the same everyday and not enjoying
my food....
Im still in the stage of taking in all the
diet info u guys have given me and
adjusting my diet...Its very hard!

Don't worry, take your time. I know
exactly what it feels like to hate your
diet and not enjoy it. Every once in
awhile, even now, I can get like this, but
always remember that you're working to
enjoy it again and what you're eating now
won't be eaten forever. Keep trying,
you'll make it! And don't worry, you're
not starving! Your body is going through
a rough change right now and it's trying
to get you to eat the way you used to.
Don't listen to it, you're in control.
If you are still not feeling full, fat is
the best way to go. You can drizzle
olive oil on salad, certainly, and add a
bit of apple cider vinegar too. Try the
dressing recipe I gave you. For extra
fat you can also try coconut oil. It has
a fruit, almost cookie-like taste to it
that you may find a good, temporary
replacement for sweets. Careful of the
potato, it will spike your sugar. Humus
has a good bit of carbs too, be careful of
it. It has about 6g per tablespoon I
believe. You can add 2-3 berries
(depending on the type of berry) to pretty
much every snack you have listed there.

Ok, thanks stan. Ive got a huge fear of
losing weight because I was so skinny as a
kid (underweight), and it took effort to
build me up to how I am now - which is
still very slim. I feel ill all the time
at the moment. I was really hoping the
diet would show some improvement after 5
days.....Even just a little....
How long can u go without eating now stan?
Or r u still on the same diet?

Yeah, I thought too that after a few days
improvement would show, but it's typically
just not like this. I'm still on the
same diet, yes. I currently am symptom
free most of the time but every once in
awhile have a minor or almost major crash.
I'd say maybe once a week at most. It
used to be nearly every day about a month
and a half ago. You're supposed to diet
for at least 6 months, then you can begin
to increase the time between meals and
such. I've had instances though where
i've gone a good three hours with no
effects and then ate. However, I make
sure I stay on the diet regardless of how
good I feel or if I don't even feel
hungry. Keeping the level constant
trains the body.
