Tips on psychological satisfaction from the amounts eaten.

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Have you ever experienced frustration at how *little* you need to satisfy

hunger? I have started IE only recently, and in the past couple of days I've

been finding myself eating what seems like too little at dinner and getting

angry because of it. Let me illustrate:

I come home moderately hungry and snack on fruit and yogurt to dull the hunger a

little while I cook. Then I serve myself a meal, usually about a cup of

carbs(pasta/legumes) or a slice of bread, a cup and a half veggies, 3/4 oz meat.

Halfway through the meal the hunger is gone, and I am left staring at a plate of

unfinished food. That makes me feel rebellious, because psychologically it

didn't feel like a meal, yet I am already full. It's like play time is over. If

you ever had such feelings, how did you work through them?

Thanks,

Nastia
