I know a gal who ate only Protein meats and fresh vegetables and fruit.....all that she wanted too...and lost all her weight. She said the fact she could eat all she wanted made the difference from other diets she tried....she was never hungry nor did she feel that way. The idea she could eat these whenever she wanted also made a difference.

it’s incredible with fish!! I eat more than a decent amount and still all that weight this month.
I’ll even chomp on 3 ounces of salmon late if I’m hungry.
Salmon steak, shark steak, tuna steak, all great.
I didn’t like catfish though.

I still weigh what I did in high school...same height too...5’2 110-112 lbs....but I was ill for a time and could do nothing but sit and eat so shot up to 135 lbs. Once I could move around again the weight dropped off in no time.

So for me being stationary and feeding my mouth was what brought the weight on.

Did you note she’s smiling.....I think some people can’t see what the rest of us see when they literally go overboard like her.

Well since it’s working with fish go for it!

Something else she noted from eating protein....her level of energy increased pretty dramatically. Have you noted that yet?

The average American woman weighs 166.2 pounds

WTF? Whatever happened to fat shaming?

I haven’t noticed that much, but overall I feel better, definitely.
It’s those ghosts of burgers, pizzas and chinese food past calling to you that makes it hard. It’s like an addiction. But it gets easier the longer you stay away.

Funny thing was: in the 1960s we heard how much women were seeking equality. It looks like they achieved it.

A working woman today on average still only weighs 74% of what a working man does.

“Men, you’re not looking too hot in this scenario either. Over the same time period you gained nearly 30 pounds, from 166.3 in the 60s to 195.5 today.”

>> Yeah, well, that’s all muscle!

The ads WORKED!

You should be taking a multivitamin mutlimineral as well.

A physician said once that people mistake being hungry when it's actually their system is deficient in a vitamin or mineral....so they're reading their body wrong.

I also do a protein shake every day...if I go two days without I want to devour everything that's sweet...candy pastries etc.

That’s interesting. Hate veggies and definitely lack vitamins and nutrients. could be causing the hunger. Thanks.

From an evolutionary viewpoint, it doesn’t make sense for a human to be repulsed by the smell and taste of such healthy foods as vegetables.

It also doesn’t make sense that the human hasn’t evolved to where are not nearly as hungry after becoming massively overweight. But i guess the body cries for nutrients no matter what weight.

You could spend a day at Neiman Marcus and find the same amount of overweight women.

FYI, the camera does funny things to people’s proportions. As a result, Hollyweird tends to prefer tiny, anorexic people.

As you’ve heard, “the camera adds 10 pounds”.

This is how we get actors like Tom Cruise, etc.

That’s right...the body isn’t satisfied without the nutrients it requires....so hunger can be “read” wrong that they need to fill the stomach when in fact they need to nourish themselves.

When you take a vitamin/mineral supplement you’ll find cravings will cease as well. It is pretty amazing....but I found it to be true for me.

My cravings seem to be wired for pastries....I don’t eat sweets much at all and sugar intake little...not by choice I just like other “snacks” better. .....I’m a cheese lover so a handful of grapes with cheese and crackers hits the spot for a snack...frozen ones in the summer especially!

So it’s usually food items I eat rather then snacks...I’ll even make french fries or cook bacon to snack on because it’s rare I have them with meals.

No I don’t put cheese on the fries... maybe a little vinegar and salt....or sweetened ketchup for a dip.

BTW All the cheese I eat is white...never orange....they are far too processed that I can actually taste the chemicals! Same with many of the snack foods today....they put so much junk in them you can taste it.
