rconrad7800's Journal, 24 July 2014

thanks so much for your thoughtful response to my journal entry. i also eat 3 meals a day. i am better with 3 bigger meals than with snacking. if i snack, i seem to do it all day long! my friend tells me that paleo recommends 3 big meals. does lchf recommend that too? 

Some people eat 4-6; some 2 some live on bullet proof coffee for a couple of meals. I tried the snack thing and was annoyed by it but I think I was not eating enough at meal times. I generally am starving at 3p but lately so busy I would right through it. Have also discovered that sometimes when I think I'm hungry I just have need to drink more. I drink a lot and wish it was all water but I get bored with it. so sometimes its ice tea, lemon ade or half and half tea and lemonade, or even the mio type flavoring . IN a pinch in a restuarant I will ask for lemeon slice and mash it with a fork and add a little splenda to it. There are several LCHF groups in Facebook. I ve joined server and mostly just read the ideas, questions and answer for a while before adding. Also pinterest has great menus and recipies. YOu tube had lots of videos by the experts. I also wonder about the medical policys that reinforces the need for more drugs. I have been an auditor for 25 years, I just naturally follow the money. LOL 

oh, it's too bad you're starving at 3pm. that's an inconvenient time. i drink when i'm hungry, but it doesn't usually help. i have trouble with water, i just don't like it. i drink iced coffee and iced tea, unsweetened. i used to drink a ton of diet rite, so this is better for me. it's just expensive because i get the coffee at starbucks. i get a shot of espresso in it and i can't do that at home, so theirs always tastes better than mine. pinterest is full of food! i agree that for the most part, less meds/drugs is better. it's hard to change habits though, and it's easy for people to take a pill. i think that is the issue.
