Wow! congratulations! I know it's hard to try something new, you can be scared and that is normal. I so love rice, white rice is my favorite, I don't longer eat too much rice as I used to, now I use portion control and I cook it just with water and salt(fat free). I am a little scared too, I am going to start my intuitive eating today.

Keilin_4 Wow, that's exciting for me to hear. I truly believe intuitive eating is the right way. Trusting your build-in food scale, so to speak. One element that can stuff this up is fructose. It is a know appetite stimulator. The stimulant effect can be reduced somewhat by leaving it for dessert only. Looking forward to jear how you go with this.

Diddlee, sweets first thing in the morning makes me really hungry too. Actually breakfast in general, but every thing is mentally, this week I have been eating breakfast and finishing my day with a good amount of calories, I have not been eating just because "I think I may be hungry" So right now that is my goal, eat three meals per day without overeating.

Hi Diddlee, just curious, how will white rice help your liver? Are you looking to speed up glycogen production?

keyten77 According to what I've read, white rice work well in regards to our build-in fullness 'meter'. With that in mind, I will dare to eat it slowly, and just wait for when the body give a 'that's enough' signal. Looking forward to try it out. Need to wait till I deserve it though :)

gz9gjg Yes, it is an experiment I have been wanting to try out for a long time. What if I give my liver a hand to restore glycogen. Will it make any difference. Don't know yet. What I have already tried, is to use carbs to fuel activity, and had complete failure with that. Carbs made me pathetically weak.

Keilin_4 I think you will absolutely love it when you feel you can trust your body signals. Basically automate it all, allowing you more time to enrich your life further. Feel if I can start the day without starting up the blood sugar rollercoaster, the rest of the day go pretty easy.

You are kinda freaking me out Diddlee. And I support your way of eating although completely different than mine.

Keyten's advice sounds good.

Erquiaga You're not alone. I freak myself out. I set September for this eat'n lift thing. October will be less freaky.
