Days 4 & 5, Ups and Downs

I don't think I have really shared exactly what I am eating.  Today I ate a little over 1700 calories consisting of 35g of net carbs, 135g of fat, and 93g of protein.  That has been pretty typical day over day.  I believe that the fat has been the main source of my satiety.

I've never eaten like this before.  Breakfast was a piece of crustless bacon cheddar quiche.  Lunch was about 6oz. of kielbasa with sauerkraut, and about 1 cup of broccoli with butter.  For dinner I had a stuffed pepper and zucchini gratin (with a little extra gratin).  Finally, some veggies and almonds for snack, and a couple of cups of chicken bullion to keep my sodium level up.

I felt full all day and for the first time, my body is telling me, "STOP!" when it is time to stop eating.  I never thought I could feel this full on 1700 calories per day.

The only bad part is that I haven't been sleeping the last couple of days so I haven't been exercising either.  I am hoping to get a good run in the gym tomorrow.  Other than that, I feel good.  More to come!
