If you are hungry, eat more starches - I keep oatmeal in my drawer at work. I have at least 3 helpings of that a day in between meals
Jumpstart wrote:What's nice about "The Starch Solution" is that you never have to be hunger to lose weight. Now, on the "green and yellow" vegetable solution you might have that problem. I would recommend you stay on Dr. McDougall's program, first you'll never be hungry, and second you'll still lose weight simply more slowly. The obvious problem I've seen with people trying to sub lots of greens and low density vegetable for starch is that they never stay on that program long enough to lose weight. They end up cheating like crazy. Those that took it more slowly have little trouble staying on the program and a couple to three years later they've reached their goal and will tell you it was a breeze. All the while those who thought they could do it quickly are still struggling ten years later.

Anyone else find this to be true? I'm always hungry on this diet.

But I want to lose weight.

FitTrey wrote:How many vegetables are you eating? You can eat a whole 1 lb bag of frozen broccoli and it is only about 100 calories. If you ate that much broccoli before your starches it doesn't decrease your hunger at all? What about 2 lbs? What about 3 lbs? Surely if you ate 3 lbs of broccoli it would reduce your hunger somewhat. Vegetables are so calorie dilute you can eat as many as you want. If you are ever hungry you can always eat more vegetables or fruit. Fruit is nearly as calorie dilute as vegetables. If you are hungry, eat some vegetables or eat some fruit. You can eat more starches too, like potatoes. Potatoes are very filling for the amount of calories they have. Stay away from the processed foods, even things like whole wheat bread.
