Head hunger

[bossportsgal 136]

When does this stop. I'm eight weeks out and still get hungry. But so get full fast. Yesterday I had 3 Mcdonald chicken nuggets and today feel like sh^*. Could it be just the old habits sneaking back? Argg. Down 30 lbs.

Thanks Nancy

Why are you eating chicken McNuggets from McDonalds? The bad far outweighs any positive Protein in those. The sleeve is an amazing tool, but you are going to have to work with it for it to be effective long term. And most of that work comes in the form of changing your relationship with food, sticking to your plan, and eating within defined parameters. If you stay away from the empty calories of items like Chicken McNuggets and stick to lean protein and non-starchy vegetables you'd probably feel a lot better.

Totally agree with blizare09. I'm not sure how they get away with calling it chicken !

You need to make good food choices. McDonald's is not a good food choice. chicken nuggets are terrible for you.

Good Proteins first and then non-starchy veggies.

Things like REAL chicken, fish, etc and none of it breaded or fried.

String cheese, cottage cheese, low carb low sugar yogurt, eggs. If you are hungry for a snack you can even indulge in a little bit of hummus or roasted almonds... yum.

Or do a google search for chicken crust pizza and make yourself a delicious, healthy, low carb, Protein packed pizza.

You have to change the way you are eating, the sleeve is only a tool. How we use it is up to us.

Also, remember, if you are getting hungry often.... carbs bring on hunger. Protein helps fill you up. Try to keep that protein between 90-100 grams a day and keep those carbs under 40 grams a day. If you aren't already using it, use myfitnesspal to keep track of your carbs, protein and calories.

Might be an idea to keep a few Snacks with you at all times so you aren't tempted to have poor food choices so early on. I have found recently, that a lot of general stores sell healthy high Protein food. So considering this is England and we are 10 years behind the USA, you should be able to easily buy good healthy snacks.

Also are you keeping up your fluids? If you have a good amount of Water and you still feel hungry, then maybe you do need to eat. Just not chicken nuggets lol.

Definitely what everyone else said, but if you MUST get something at a fast food, go for the grilled nuggets at ChickFilA less the sauce.

I'm seven days. And I'm always hungry. and I can only eat Jell-o, cream of chicken and some Protein Shakes. Not much at all not getting much liquid down. But I feel like I can eat a whole Chinese buffet with a lot of seafood. When I sit down to eat I can't even eat I have in my hand
