Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
I'm trying to lose some weight at the moment by reducing the amount and frequency of eating.
At the moment I am having coffee, cream and butter at around 08:00 and then a meal around 15:00 to 17:00.
This was no effort for the first couple of days but now I find that the one meal lays me out!
I'm not eating much bulk - today was a Lidl roll (yes, not quite finished them yet) with tuna mayo and cucumber.
Now I find that after eating I fell stuffed (as if I had eaten a huge meal) and soon after I feel tired and can even doze off. I think some of this is my body going into defensive mode because the food supply has been cut.
I am still losing weight and I'm OK for energy in the morning after the coffee; it's just after the late afternoon meal that I feel stunned.
Anyone else experienced this?
