First, I wrote about that you should not spare your efforts. Maintaining consistent effort is really important. Now, what you should not spare is also your hunger. Since this is about a change in lifestyle, you do not want to “starve” yourself to loose weight. If you are getting hungry and it isn’t time for your next meal, then, by all means have a snack. There are a lot of really good healthy snacks available today. Portion control should be one of your guides throughout your day. Have a protein bar or two to help you get to your next meal. You can also have fruit, celery sticks, carrots etc. Usually, I have no problem in making it between my morning shake and my shake I have for lunch. These Formula 1 Meal Replacement shakes come in several really great flavors. My favorite is the Cafe Latte. Once in a while I need a snack, but, it’s usually in the afternoon after my lunch time shake. If you have to starve yourself, it’s not worth it. After all, I’m not and I refuse to do that. This past January when I was really pushing myself to loose weight, I lost 7 pounds which I thought was great! None of my efforts included starvation, just portion control.
