In theory, on the WD your appetite will be regulated. If a person is

carrying extra fat, they are supposed to be high in leptin, which

is supposed to cut off your appetite when you get fat. Sooo ...

a person who needs to lose a few might not get as hungry as

those lean guys that work out a lot ...

I have this same seemingly dilemma

I get to night time start the big pig out and seemingly burst at the seem.

Then at the end of the day I have eaten considerably less than normal.

This is why I brought up a question that never got answered earlier about

the possibility we do not need as much food eating WD way than we would

consistently eating.

hey, that was easy!

i learned from michele and made sure to eat something during the day

but i'm not sure we ate enough in the evening! i ate till i was stuffed but

it didn't seem like that much. let me think:

today i had a banana, a lot of tea, some apple juice, and an apple.

at 4 i had about a quart of raw milk, a bowl of broccoli with butter, a

slice of cheese

then we had almonds, about 1/4lb beef with tomatos, tomato sauce, and a

bunch of spices (hm. what can you do with leftover tomato sauce...), an

avocado, sour cream, and more milk. i was so full! just now i squeezed in a

few more almonds, and it's 8 so i'm all done.

seems like not nearly as much as the boys eat, but then again, i do still

have baby fat to lose...

I wonder that myself. But again, a question for me is: if a person is carrying

around 40 lbs of extra fat, that person should NOT be as hungry as

usual, because presumably your body would be saying " I have plenty

of fuel, I don't need more, just some nutrients " . (I'm not saying this about

you, it's about me). I'm NOT eating as much as I used to, at this point. My

appetite is decreasing. But that might be the normal " brakes " that SHOULD

be there. When I started the WD I was eating exactly the same amount

(I was careful to) but my appetite has been getting less and less.

Ori seems to eat a LOT and so do and Mike. They don't seem

to be eating less ... or if they are, then they ate a LOT previously.

OTOH it may well be that eating many meals, a person can stuff in a

lot more calories. Question is, what does that mean? I have read

stuff that says you can eat more in several meals and still lose weight,

and I was on a diet like that and did lose weight. But is that a good

thing or not? It means I'm using more resources and spending more

money (which is a good thing for the folks that made the protein bars

I snacked on), and I got to pig out more often (which is good for

the gluttonous side of me). My body had to do more work digesting all

that food, and supposedly your metabolism runs " faster " ...

Again, is that good? Or does it make you age faster? In the mouse

experiments, the mice ate the same number of calories on the feast/fast

diet ... but I don't know if anyone has counted the calories of people

doing the same thing.

I definitely didn't start eating *more* food on the Warrior Diet, and may

well have started eating less. I ate a LOT previously.
