Read your post and see you got some responses. I am generally a very hungry gal with a huge appetite. When I first went on the 6-week plan, I was hungry until I realized I wasn't really eating everything he recommended. A typical day for me now is:
Breakfast: 2 bananas and natural, no salt peanut butter. Sometimes I have 2 apples and PB instead. Sometimes I have natural almond butter instead of PB.
Snack: orange or apple or cantalope ...
Lunch: Huge Salad (a whole Dole's pack of romaine or spinach) with assorted raw veggies and 1 cup of beans. Sometimes I will have a black bean veggie patty or a few tablespoons of sunflower seeds on the salad or lots of green peas instead of the salad beans.
Snack: Another fruit or raw veggies to munch on such as sugar snap peas or green beans.
Dinner: Two frozen veggies or a big bag of frozen veggie mix PLUS a sweet potato or a baked potato (no butter).
With lunch or dinner, poured over the veggies, I add the 1 TBSP of ground flax seed.
I exercise a lot. When I have a tough class (3-4 times a week) I will add a "cherry pie" Larabar energy bar to this menu before class. Cherry LARABARs are only made of 3 ingredients: cherries, dates, and almonds. These ingredients are all allowed on the program,though dates are introduced in the life plan. I found the added bar gives me the extra energy I need and has not impacted my weight loss at all. (I'm just about done with the 6 weeks and have lost 12 lbs, with 10 more to go until I'm at my goal weight.)
The LARGE volumes of raw and cooked veggies listed here with 4 fruits really surpresses that hunger. When I can't get in the large quantity of salad, which has happened once or twice because I was on the road, I was really hungry!!
