Warrior Diet ??

January 21, 2004

Okay, so I went on the Warrior diet way of eating a couple weeks before

christmas with GREAT results. Hypoglycemia came under control, it was

great. I got sick, went on vacation, and kind of lost track of the WD. So

I started back up after vacation, and have been doing WD for 2 weeks.

I am having problems with cravings during the day, especially early

afternoon. I work in a cubicle all day, there is a cafeteria below me, soda

machine on every floor, and vending machines abound. While I try and stick

to my nutritious/WD snacks, I am having a terrible time avoiding the

onslaught of junk food. I am also in a very stressful period at work. Here

is a list of what I eat during the course of the day....any suggestions on

ways to avoid these drawn out stressful afternoons of cravings would be

great:

AM - I have a small shake in the morning made up of eggs, whole milk, bit o

cream, yogurt/keifer, and a bit of honey. (If I don't have this I find the

hunger sneaks up on me by mid day really bad). While I am not working out

regurlaly, I am a very 'bouncy' person and stay in shape and tone without

trying very hard.....since the WD recommends a bit of protien during the day

if you workout, I am guessing maybe I need an extra kick.

For snacks during the day, I usually eat some nuts, dried fruit, raw snack

veggies, or a piece of fresh fruit.

PM - At night my meals vary as I am slowly trying to eliminate all SAD type

items in my house (and convert a reluctant husband). 2-3 meals a week will

be 100% NT, while the other meals are a mix of old recipes made with mostly

natural ingredients. I still include grains. I try and eat a salad or some

munchie veggies first, then dinner, then I will usually munch on things here

and there until I go to bed. I am using a lot of butter and fat in the

meals as well, no skimping.

Is there anything I can improve here that will help the cravings. To tell

you the truth, I don't necessarily crave junk food entirely, but I am sure

not craving fruit or nuts. Even a good bowl of cottage cheese or something

would be nice. I don't rightly know what is okay and not okay during this

fasting period.

Thanks in advance
