Well, here we are at day 4 and I still haven't found myself being technically "hungry". I eat whenever I feel the need to eat (as prescribed in the rules),so I cannot complain about lack of food. Rather, I find myself painfully aware of any moment that I normally would have had an unhealthy snack. Any time I mosey on past the candy jar I feel a pang of reminder of things that are not to be. Any time I return from a run, my thoughts go to a time where I would make a pint of chocolate milk as a post-workout snack.
Fact: there is no such thing as a healthy snack. There is only healthy food. You can eat healthy food during a non-meal time, but that does not make it a snack. Those who say otherwise haven't had a true snack in so long, they don't even remember what a snack is.Just because the health nuts chomp on their flax seed muffins and deem it a "tasty snack" does not make it so.
On the other hand, maybe you need a little delusion to make it through the day. Maybe the only way to hold back tears after years of voluntary deprivation is to constantly say to yourself, "this chia seed pudding is just as good as the real thing". If so, soldier on brave souls, soldier on.
Breakfast:
2 eggs, 1 piece of sausage
Lunch:
Hamburger, Fries
Dinner:
Chicken Fried Rice
Non-meal food:
Berries, sunflower seeds
Weight: 189.6 lbs
Total weight lost: 2.8 lbs
Still no negative effect on training. Not really a positive one either, though.
