Absolutely not!  There’s no way I could have maintained eating like this for 2 years now if I was hungry all the time.

I eat foods with minimal additives. I eat 3 meals a day.  Breakfast is oatmeal, protein powder, cinnamon (2 TABLE spoons!), a little dried fruit (without sugar) and skim milk.

For lunch and dinner, I eat fish/chicken/meat, well-seasoned and steamed, with lots of green vegetables and complex carbohydrates (sweet potatoes or brown rice).  If I get hungry in between meals, I have, sometimes with plain fat-free yogurt (again with lots of cinnamon).

My food is dense in nutrients, but not dense in calories.

I don’t eat to relieve stress nearly as much as in the past.  But when I do, I eat fruit (and drink green tea).
