I felt very satisfied all day yesterday. I never really got hungry and came in 300 calories under my daily goal. Today I need to add more calories and protein. The research I did tells me to really monitor the protein, calcium and not to let your calories drop too much. You really do have to eat a high volume of food on this diet to get all your basic requirements in. I did not crave sweets at all which is unlike me. I think it may be because of the sweet fruits you are eating all day. This is a great time of year to do this. I wonder how hard it would be when all these wonderful fruits are no longer in season.
I had trouble going to sleep and staying asleep last night. I felt so charged up at one point, I almost went ahead and got up....but I looked at the clock, it was only 2:30!! I lay there for quite awhile until I feel back to sleep.
So far the only complaint I have is the sleep thing and the gas! I hope that subsides with time. They say it will.
I went mountain biking today and tried to ride my usual mileage, but my legs were burning more than normal and I felt wasted. May have been lack of recovery from yesterday's ride.
Breakfast - A large bowl of banana, black berries and pineapple.
coffee
Lunch - Steamed peas, wild rice and a banana.
water
Dinner - A large green salad with chopped apple, pear and cranberries, vinegarette dressing, 1 cup of brown rice and red beans, water.
Snack - Handful of trail mix, water.
Supplements - 500 mgs. Calcium, 3000 units of Fish oil.
After I posted all my food to the calorie tracker, I still came in 350 cal. under my daily requirement. This is like volumetrics, you have to eat a ton of food!
