I was just thinking about this the other night. Two days ago, I had eaten breakfast, exercised, went to work and was hungry about an hour later. I forgot to bring food with me, worked a 6 hour shift on an empty belly, went grocery shopping afterwards and then I ate dinner. I had whole wheat pasta with red and green peppers but that most definitely didn't fill me up. For some reason though, I was totally craving sweets so I had a bowl of ice cream with M & M's and peanut butter, and then a candy bar on top of that. Yesterday, I didn't eat until 2pm, exercised 45 minutes, and had an emotional day. I ate, ate, and ate some more. I think that not only was it the not having a chance to eat until 2 on top of exercising on top of emotions that made me want so much food, but it was also the lack of quality fuel I had put in my body from the day before. I just can't help but think that had a play in my food fest yesterday, especially because the foods I was craving were not sweet. I wanted FOOD food!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 It sounds like you are on the right track. Taht sounds so much like the thing that happened to me a couple of weeks ago when I had the lentils and brown rice and ate my way through the chocolate around here - and anythign else I could find. I had had the volume, but not the nutrition - and almost no fat - my body realised it and gently taught me a lesson I hope I remember. > > > I wouldn't expect a slimfast bar to be 'quality' nutrition - and low > quality food does not > > satisfy what your body needs, so even if you eat a lot of it, your > body knows the difference > > and will still be asking for more. > > I was just thinking about this the other night.
