Hi raedr
great question!
have you got an edition of Potatoes not Prozac?
theres a great bit in step 3 chapter where Kathleen says something like...
"First I say no snacks and then I write how good snacks are and say DO snack...." and then it explains why
(as soon as I find where Ive put my book I will look up the right quote for you )
learning how to have 3 meals a day is part of learning not to nibble inbetween, and to listen to our bodies needs. But when I started, my blood sugar was so volatile, I needed snacks to steady me.
this was a big deal because I had been trying to "Last through" between meals and 'white-knuckling' for many years
After step 3 though I found I could let a morning snack go. Then I had an afternoon snack for years because I ate a bit later in the evening than my body was happy with - this was due to work/family stuff.
step 7 now and circumstances have changed so I dont snack as a rule - but I am always listening , because if I have a busy day or lots of unusual physical demands then I do still choose a planned snack ( ie: protein/carb. planned)
so its fine about your 6 a day right now ( one may even think of it as 3 meals and 3 snacks??) ..... just think on breakfast for now.
Step 1 ... have you got ideas for your 4 parts?
