End of day 4 phase 1 some questions about portions and carbs
Hi, I am hanging in there. My husband is doing the diet with me.
Only the first two days did I get bad carb cravings. I think I may be
eating too much of the approved foods but I am hungry! For instance,
I had a romaine salad with feta cheese and some rolled up low fat ham
for dinner, later I had a handful of almonds, just now a few hours
later, I was hungry again, so I had some broccoli and kale sauteed in
a little olive oil, about 3 ounces of chicken breast and some more
feta cheese. For dessert I had a sugar free fudgie with natural
peanut butter spread on it. So, am I eating too much? My next
question is about carbs. Do I have to eat a lot of beans to get the
carbs since this is supposed to be a diet that includes carbs? Should
I just not worry about trying to get carbs in? I drink 8 ounces of V8
juice with my eggs for breakfast and about 6 ounces of V8 juice with
my lunch. I also have I guess about 4 ounces total of plain soy milk
or skim milk in my coffee in the morning. I noticed I have been
walking around with a metallic taste in my mouth since day 3. Any
reason why? I am drinking plenty of water. I bring a liter to work
everyday and go through the whole thing in 6 hours. So, any advice
would be appreciated.
