Hi Meghan
The amount of food seeming a problem is part of the sugar sensitive body/personality I think, I always used to think of it as almost our resistance to feeling good!
I struggled with breakfast and it took me 6 months to get used to eating it, as if I had breakfast before doing this program, it was sugary cereal and way more than an hour after waking. Kathleen says to start with the protein and brown, and then add veg in, so if you are stuggling, I would leave veg out for now, and then add it in gradually when the rest doesn't seem to be too much food. In the 2nd half of 2009, I was eating a dish full of protein, a dish full of browns and a dish full of veg at every meal, and even lost 100 pounds in weight that year. I mention the weight aspect purely to show you that the huge amount of food was not too much for my body at all.
You will gradually get used to it over time.
Hope that helps
Love
Jane

: So, I'm curious.
: If we are supposed to eat a huge blob
: of protein in each meal a long
: side some browns, how do people
: work veggies or fruit in their
: diet? I'm doing breakfast only
: right now, and with the required
: amount of protein and some browns,
: I feel like I am overflowing.
: Should I stop eating when I feel
: full? Or cram it down to make sure
: I get enough protein?
: And for those who have been on the
: plan longer, how are you managing
: to eat fruits and veg, or even
: veg, if you are eating the
: required levels of protein and
: browns at each meal, and no snack
: in between?
: My brain and my stomach are Curious
: to know. :)
: Thanks for helping a new recovering
