This arrived at the right time for me. I'm at my physical worst right now. I'm packing on weight at record levels, and I can only assume it's menopausal. It feels like no style of eating or exercise is working lol. I've now decided to completely switch what I eat for breakfast and see if it might help. It's difficult to get that much protein at breakfast when you're vegetarian and don't eat eggs. But I discovered a really good tofu scramble recipe and load it up with veggies from my garden and add cheese. Fingers crossed something will work!!

Protein, fat, and fiber are what make you feel full, plus they burn at different rates giving you more sustained energy. That way you are not fighting the "spike and crash" all day long. I find starting my day with protein, fat, and fiber makes all the difference.

Psychology is so important. She was smart not to forbid foods, because when you "can't" have something, that's all you want, and will power can only take you so far.

Thanks for sharing your story, Tim!
