I confess. This week for the first time since I started this eating plan, I have been hungry. And my weight loss seems to have hit a plateau. So it was back to the books for a diet review.
Aha and eureka! Who would have thought it? I am hungry because I am not eating enough!
As I understand it, there are macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients. The macro-nutrients are protein, carbohydrates and fat. They have calories. And consequences. They should be eaten moderately.
The micro-nutrients are things like vitamins and minerals. They are found in colorful vegetables. They are nothing but good for you. And they can be eaten with abandon. As much as you want.
The problem with my diet for the past week was that I had been eating the macro-nutrients but had not chowed down on the veggies. I was eating far less than the pound of raw vegetables and the pound of cooked vegetables that I am supposed to eat.
There is no reason to be hungry. Just gotta chop and cook a little more.
