D: dinner at a tapas restaurant. I had a little bit of tortilla Espanola, marinated artichokes, mushrooms, short ribs, chorizo, and prunes wrapped in serrano ham with goat cheese. 2 glasses of sangria.
I was still hungry when I got home, but the sangria outweighed the small amount of food I had, so I went to bed! It was hard enough to not eat the bread.
Crankin - I broke down and got some Machengo cheese from Trader Joe's, looking forward to trying it out! I love cheese, so I have to be careful with it.
I hope you don't get as addicted as I am. But, I recently read something that said to the effect that it helps people, particularly women, to eat a little bit of full fat cheese every day, as it makes you feel full.
Now, if I could just stop thinking about the bread I am not eating.... haven't entirely cut it out, but cut down a lot.
A good amount of protein also has that affect, a high protein diet leads to less snacking because it sticks around. I hear you on the bread, it is hard for me to go without it and I suspect that my weight plateau is directly related to that. I won't give up my oats and brown rice, but I should probably really cut back on the bread.Quote:
