True, Jonsey, but portion control is a battle for me. I'm doing it, but I am often hungry.
So this is what a day looks like right now eating wise.
Breakfast. 1/2 hour before eating 8 ounces of water. At breakfast 1 Boost Glucose Control drink.
Lunch. 1/2 hour before eating 8 ounces of water. At lunch 1 cup of salad greens, 3/4 cup of grape tomatoes, 1/2 of an English cucumber, 1 small raw zucchini, 1 cup raw green beans, 4 tablespoons of no salt, no sugar salad dressing.
Dinner. 1/2 hour before eating 8 ounces of water. At dinner 1 cup of salad greens, 3/4 cup of carrots, 1/2 cup of grape tomatoes, 1/2 cup of strawberries, 1 cup of raw green beans, 4 ones of chicken, 4 tablespoons of of no salt, no sugar salad dressing.
Snack between breakfast and lunch. 1/2 hour before eating 8 ounces of water. At snack 1 small apple, 1/2 cup of blueberries.
Snack between lunch and dinner. 1/2 hour before eating snack 8 ounces of water. At snack 1 small pear, 1/2 cup of blackberries.
Snack between dinner and bed. 1/2 hour before snack 8 ounces of water. At Snack 1 small apple, 1/2 cup of tart cherries.
Sounds like plenty, right? But I often am hungry.
