Re: New here with a few questions - portion size and drinks
Does a meal need to be concluded in a certain amount of time? I don't time my meals. I prepare the food, put on the table, serve myself, eat and carry on my day. Does anyone have a recommendation of a portion-control plate? I use a 9 inch plate with a bowl for a salad. If you're having a drink (say...

One is View Your Posts which takes me to the relatively short list my my posts. Usually what I want it towards the top.

I learned the same thing with 5:2 fasting. I wouldn't eat for 24 hours and survived. Yes, it is possible to go without eating and not fall over dead. I didn't like it much, so I do the 16:8 fast, more or less. I want to think less about food and do the same thing every day. Obsessing over food is a ...

Re: Food Addiction and just need to talk
There is no conflict, as far as I can see. Why not eat a plateful of veggies with protein? Leave out the snacks between meals. The trainer already has you off the sugar laden food. What did he suggest for breakfast?
It seems he should be concentrating on the exercise.
