Only seem to feel hungry now when it is almost time to have one of those snacks. Thanks again Thanks Troy,

First thing to remember is that this isn't a one size fits all food plan. If I think about you, I think a fit active guy who doesn't need to lose weight. Shred a little bit of fat to help the 6-pack come out maybe, but not a weight loss goal by any means. So my suggestion to you is to either eat more often throughout the day, or make the portion sizes a little bigger. Now, if you were overweight and sitting in an office all day and not training hard every morning, I would probably tell you to get over it and let your body adjust to a little less food so you could lose a little weight. But, with you, I think you should increase the size of your breakfast. On the eggs and toast day, you could add a piece of fruit and that would be a substantial breakfast. On the porridge day, I would say to add a piece of fruit again, and some almonds, about 15. Morning tea and afternnon tea you could have rice cakes with tuna or avocado or cottage chees or a combination. This could be in addition to the morning and afternoon tea already listed if you find yourself hungry an hour or so after. There is no problem to have more smaller meals, I would rather that than less bigger meals, that way you can establish if you really are hungry for it if you wait for atleast an hour between snacks. Lunches and dinners are fine. Try this and I think you will be satisfied. Those extra snacks will help a lot! Thanks Nelius, I like the questions.

My diet has always been reasonably ok, with "some" treats thrown in every other day. I have also taken on board your suggested diet on line. But here is the thing. I am starving..............That is, i eat what you suggest (almost, with slight variation - still no sugar) but i am feeling hungry every other hour. Firstly, is this just sugar cravings, lack of carbs, or do i need to actually eat more often, especially with training aswell? Secondly am i still getting enough energy from the foods I eat? And finally, can i increase my intake of food at breakfast from your suggestion as i could eat a "small village" at this time (sugar free village of course), especially after training. I am sure the answer is quite simple to these questions, but guidance would be appreciated. This is one area i am a little weak on knowledge on. Thanks mate. Hi Troy, and all others

If it is, make sure you are having some whole grain bread, beans, basmati or brown rice and lots of veggies. But, is it due to something else? Lack of sleep, stress, dehydration, too much protein, too much caffeine, lack of iron? One thing I do know, turning to sweets is the worst thing to do! I would imagine paddling a surf ski for 2 hours would burn around 1000 calories, depending on how intense your paddling was:) Hey Goldie,

PLEASE send me some magic to make me start moving again I dont know where my motivation has gone. Have you any idea how many calories I would burn if I spent 2 hours paddling on a surf ski. cheers Goldie I wish I had someone here to kick my butt into gear.I gave up sugar a few months back and lost 8 kilos.But I’m so tired lately that I’ve been snacking on sweets again and the calories roared backed.
