So hungry, my stomach was sucking on my back! |
Okay I thought I was hungry all the time before I started the Best Life Diet but it’s like I’m hungry allllllll the time! Like I said before, my increase in appetite is no doubt the result of an increase in physical activity, breast feeding, and the vitamin supplements. But I think that there is a psychological component to it as well. Yes, it is true, I do like food, food tastes good, and therefore I like it. It seems so simple but the problem is determining if I am really hungry or not. Having to rate my hunger on a scale is interesting because what’s a10 and what’s a 0? Yesterday I decided to drink water when I thought I felt hungry and that seemed to work. What I’m finding out is that I mistake being hungry for actually being thirsty. Perhaps I’ll try a carrying a water bottle with me more often and just stay hydrated. I’m sure this will produce more milk for the baby and maybe burn more calories. I don’t know but we’ll see.

I am nursing my 5 month old son, exercising, and following the best life diet, too. I always feel like my hunger scale is a 10! Have you seen a drop in your milk supply since you have started dieting and exercising? Are you taking in any extra calories for milk production? I am just interested because I haven’t come across many people who are dieting and nursing. Thanks for your post.

I just started the program and hope to learn how to eat better, and have a better exercise routine. I am afraid because in anothe month I will be having foot surgery and don’t want to gain weight.
