I can think of a few possibilities:

1. If you eat like that at night too, then you are getting hardly ANY

carbs. Which will put you in ketosis, which will make you lose weight.

Is there any reason you don't eat, say, some fruit? Or nuts?

2. Stress and lack of sleep will make you hungry, regardless

of what you are eating. So will food allergies. Has to do with

cortisol/insulin. Getting more or less sunlight changes your

appetite too.

3. If you are eating the same as ever, and suddenly losing weight,

you may have some malabsorption -- esp. if you have any

bowel issues (gas, rumbling, loose stools, IBS symptoms, or

sometimes constipation).

4. If you got more exercise over the weekend, maybe you

just need more food! How much do you eat in the evening?

Hi heidi,

Reason I didn't eat nuts was because didn't have any that I had soaked ect

ect.

It turns out today however my bag of almonds I bought is almost ready and

dried out :-)

( almost but I couldn't help myself as part of my snack this afternoon with

a few grapes )

I thought you pretty much avoided carbs during the day ?

At night I have a piece of fruit + either sourdough bread or a 400 gram

potato with dinner ect for carbs.

My stools have been loose for awhile. At least they are sinking though now

rather than floating!

I eat till im right full at dinner :-)

No, just starches. Raw fruits and vegies are fine.

And what else? Assuming you are a fairly active

male, that ISN'T much FOOD! Shoot, I eat more than that and

I'm a middle aged not very active female and working on losing weight.

I have a grapefruit for breakfast, a salad for lunch. Then for

dinner a bowl of broth or more fruit, a BIG steak (12 oz or so)

or some other nice amount of meat, some vegies, then something

like noodles or popcorn or potato fried in coconut oil. But my hubby

eats much, much more than that and he's rather lean.

Anyway, you might try figuring out the calorie content of what you

eat, then you can figure out how much YOU need.

Yes tomorrow I will calculate weigh of all items I eat.

Then will scour the net for a good per gram calculator and add it all up.

See what it comes to

Yeah, but most veggies, except the starchy ones, are low-carb, and fruits

should be limited.
