Hi RK - with you there about staying strong in P2! Yay! P3 is like a celebration to me as I can have avocado, bacon, cheese... I can totally fill myself up on that and feel great. The key (for me) is to eat until full and not beyond that. Small portions and pausing often seem to help. Also, eating during the day and not letting yourself get "starving" seems to work as well.
So, as for the loading today - well, I understand the "concept" of loading, but like Leez, it is a cruel joke in many ways because I AM NOT HUNGRY! I'm still eating P3ish, but with the emphasis on good fats and trying to make sure I'm not going to starve or be hungry in the first few days of P2. I've got my chicken bought and in the fridge. Ready to cook it on Sunday, portion it out and get going. I've got shrimp ready too, so I don't get too bored. The trick will be to be around friends who have no idea that I'm dieting. They're used to me not eating much anyway, so I think I'll be OK. Just looking forward to telling you it is day 35 and I AM DONE! ;p
Will check in tomorrow and thereafter to let you know how it's going ;-)
Have a great weekend!
