nursepez 152 Posted June 3, 2013 Confessions from a stressed out mom.... Okay...I'm NOT chewing and spitting. :-) But last week I read countless posts about eating M&Ms, pizza and ice cream while I was sitting in my son's hospital room. (That's the stressed out mom part...my son has been in the hospital for the last 24 days.) I'm nearly 4 months post-op and have followed my diet to the letter...until I started reading about pizza...and M&Ms. All I could think about was..."would it really be so bad if..." And then I did it...a small bag of M&Ms from the hospital gift shop. One quarter of an ice cream sandwich late one night after I got home. And yes, even a sliver of pizza. I know better but wow...the power of suggestion...and the even stronger power of my head hunger. I vow to do better this week. 3 Ms skinniness, avanti and No game reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted June 3, 2013 It is a shock to the pancreatic system which releases a deluge of insulin while sleeping and jump starts the metabolism. It works if you do this at most once a week after eating all week at a very low deficit. It is like jump starting your car battery when it stalls on the side of the road...

I'm drinking a Protein Shake, eyeballing the treadmill that I need to walk on, to know that tomorrow my weight will be the same as today! Stupid m&ms and losing weight crap!
