Diet
I’ve lost over 15 pounds in the past 3 months. I feel really good. Not just because of the accomplishment, or the fact that some old clothes are starting to fit again, but simply because I’m eating less and that’s just the way my body likes it.
People always say that you should eat a bunch of smaller meals throughout the day, and I guess that’s what I’m doing, but whenever they say that I imagine eating like 8 little snacks and that doesn’t work for me. What does work is having something small (yogurt is my favorite) in the morning and late in the evening, in addition to a normal lunch and a small dinner. What kills me is a snack in the afternoon (it just makes the post-lunch coma worse) and big dinners.
A nice side effect of the small dinner is that I don’t get the same 11pm rush of energy that I get after digesting a large dinner. Instead, I still feel a bit hungry and tired and just go to sleep.
I had a lot of luck with this diet in 4 years ago and it took quite a while to gain the weight back. Probably 3 years. Hopefully I can do at least as well this time.
