Oh yeah, just wanted to add one more thing I'm doing: after I eat a meal, sometimes I think I'm still hungry. But I force myself to wait at least half an hour before I eat something else, if I do still happen to be hungry. More often than not, after half an hour I'm not hungry any more. The experts say that it takes about 30 minutes for your stomach to send the "I'm full" signal to the brain, so before I started losing weight I often still felt hungry after eating, so I would have seconds. But now since I want to limit my food intake and have been paying close attention to the signals my body is sending to my brain, I've learned to wait before eating again to make sure I'm not really hungry. Happened this morning, I was very hungry by the time I got to work, drank my protein shake and still felt hungry. Was thinking about eating something else but made myself wait, then half an hour later I felt full.
