According to my health coach mentor, Thom should be in fat burning by now which will be evident by how he will no longer feel so much hunger and low energy. Today is a Saturday. The first day home around food and a less busy schedule. The hangry has increased today. He did not exercise today nor will he tomorrow so we are hoping he will get into the fat burning cycle soon! But lets be honest, we are both skeptical that in the fat burning cycle he will not feel hunger anymore. This is a lot less calories he is used to and he strongly dislikes the feeling of hunger especially after consuming a 'meal'. He is dedicated to continue for another week. And if he is still struggling he has decided he will stop exercising for a week. On the BRIGHT side though he has already lost 10 lbs on the scale! This is a huge motivating factor in deciding to continue despite the discomfort. He flies to Fiji for work in February and every pound he can lose before then will make that long flight that much more bearable.
After speaking with my health coach mentor she informed us that he could add a little more protein each day as well as one of the approved snacks to help with the hunger. He discovered dill pickles this evening with much rejoicing! He savored every bite of those and they did help immensely with the feelings of hunger and grumpiness.
