Re: Hunger hunger HUNGERRR!!! What to do about it?
Good question. Bear in mind I have the following problems:
- Gluten intolerance. It's nasty, even a trace of gluten messes me up badly, so I had to learn to try new foods to compensate
- Casein intolerance. Similarly bad - can't have traces of milk.
- Soy protein intolerance. Again, same deal there.
- Candida overgrowth. I can take enzymes after a food that candida likes to prevent or stop (if they occurred) candida flare-up symptoms
- Mercury toxicity. I'm on the Cutler protocol to deal with it.
Okay, here goes:
Breakfast:
- Some coconut oil
- Sunflower butter
- Popcorn (nothing added to it, just popcorn, no milk ingredients, no butter)
With breakfast are the following supplements:
- Food-based multivitamin that includes a B-complex and many other things
- Trace minerals complex that contains like 40 minerals
Lunch:
- 2 chicken breasts
- Popcorn
Dinner:
It varies, but usually chicken, sometimes fish on occasion, sometimes hamburger patty (can't have the bun - gluten), and eggs are common too. With it is usually brown rice, or potatoes.
Due to hunger, if my dinner is small (e.g. chicken and potatoes), I must have some more calories, so I often fill it with this surprisingly low GI energy bar I found at Whole Foods (I'd tried several energy bars, but this is lower calorie than most while also being filling by comparison, and sates my hunger better than any other I've tried, so I'm sticking with this one), and Goji berries.
I only have snacks on weekends due to waking up late. The snacks are things like Goji berries, the aforementioned energy bars, and things like granola.
I did try having two apples as a replacement for one or two energy bars while on vacation a week ago, and they seemed to satisfy hunger a bit better, so I should probably try that.
Note that after snacks such as granola, apples, energy bars, etc. I always take enzymes that kill candida.
