Guest guest Posted November 10, 2000 Report Share Posted November 10, 2000 AntJoan, how semi-vegetarian are you? My diet had certainly been more focused on fruits and vegetables, lots of salads, etc. before being diagnosed with Graves' disease because I was always weight conscious and wasn't very serious about any exercise program. I love to walk and to swim, but I'd gotten lazy. Any exercise which feels like work became work and I ALREADY had a more than a full-time job! I find that I have definite protein cravings which aren't satisfied, on a daily basis, by eggs, soy, or dairy products. I do love an omelet or fritatta, using frozen egg whites, lots of veggies and some low-fat cheese. Nuts are grand, but they are too calorie-laden. Perhaps it's a psychological thing, but I feel better when I have some chicken or fish and there are certain times when ONLY a bit of really good beef will do: something properly marinated and cooked to perfection on the grill. I find that I often feel REALLY hungry several times a day now, but once I've begun eating, I lose interest and rarely finish my meals, even if they were once considered " normal " portions. Perhaps several " mini-meals " would be a solution for me. Who's had experience with this? Thanks! Bonner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
