Shann & Ash-I've always been a light eater, but snacked all day long instead of larger meals! There must be something related to the snacking & BOYS!!

Shann the answer to your question from me at least is .... yes !
I can go 12 hours or more without eating a thing that's how i unfortunately trained my body to live through my crazy study and training/job life. So i felt like i was stuffing my self on the HE diet. I wasnt ever a big eater. Just 3 meals a day small portions and no sweets at ALL. We dont buy sweets or cook sweets at my house. Its all salty and very spicy cooking 😊

B4 the HE diet my daily calore intake came up to a lonesome 700 to 900 a day honestly and that's when i realised how poorly i ate. So eating 2000 calorie on HE nearly killed me ! 😂

I don't eat massive amounts of food and I'm naturally thin and light weight (105 lbs) but I am a total snacker. I prefer to eat in small portions more often throughout the day than just a few big meals or even large portions. My caloric intake has never been that high but the quality of food I eat is high nutrition normally. The LE diet was hard for me but I got into the swing of it and became accustomed to being just about a vegetarian. I was on it for just about 9 weeks. There certainly isn't a perfect science to it.

I agree with the snacking swaying boy. I pretty much snacked all day. The only one I didn't snack with was my daughter. It was hard at first because I have a fast metabolism which is why I would snack. But before trying for my daughter i buckled down on everything and lost weight becasuse of it. And this time before getting pregnant I wasn't doing everything the same but I was eating only one meal a day and would have maybe 1 snack sometimes none. So we will see if it holds true for me this time.

Yes i think snacking is what keeps blood glucose in a steady state and makes the difference

Dreaming-very similar to you! I've always been a vegetarian and ate healthy foods, just not a lot of it...low fat, low cal, but ate small portions throughout the day. Salads, veggies, fruits, oatmeal, dry cereal...but cookies & chips sometimes too [emoji12](usually baked chips though). Skipping breakfast was the hardest!

Shannon - yes as a natural girl mom I can just eat one cookie [emoji51] I think waaay too much about what I eat - I actually like feeling a tad hungry and love the energy I get from caffeine/coffee so would drink it all morning. I've always eaten breakfast within 30 minutes of waking up so I'm surprised at all the girl swayers skipping breakfast. The HE diet was hard for me bc I felt full all the time. I do like red meat but only usually eat it once a week, but eating it everyday wasn't that hard for me. And I liked snacking before dinner, I just don't usually allow myself to. One of my concerns about my boy sway is I'd go from 7:30ish at night until 6/6:30 ish the next morning without eating and I don't know if that was too long. We just usually go to bed early 9ish and I just didn't/couldn't eat right before getting in bed.
Ash - I was thinking tonight as I was eating ice cream [emoji23] your aversion to sweets reminds me of my first 2 pregnancies. I have a bad sweet tooth but they made me sick on both my girl pregnancies. This one could be a girl too obviously but I'm liking sweets[emoji12]

I don't yet, but I hope to in 12-18mo. I want to see how this little girl is and how she changes (If at all!!) our family dynamics! I do make small batches for family, friends, and colleagues.

I just finished my final formulation for my nipple butter tonight [emoji16][emoji1303]!! This is fun for me, a way to help people, and put my chemistry degree to use!!
