i know it sounds like an enviable problem to have, but I sincerely have a hard time eating all the food I'm supposed to eat. 1800 calories is a whole lot of food when you're eating healthy. I actually run out of ideas for PFs and SCs for some reason. I hate cooking, so there's only so much I can come up with each day without repeating foods. Does anyone else have this problem? It probably sounds goofy, but I'm so full all the time I can't stand it! Will this feeling go away? Anyone have some good ideas about good combinations of things I can eat? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks so much everybody, Patti

    I have noticed lately that even when I wake up I'm not hungry anymore....I was on a plateau and did the meal switching for the last 2 weeks....I'm really not hungry til I finish my morning hour long walk....I eat because I know I have to in order to get all my food in spaced 3 hours apart...but
    Like you getting all the food in has become a chore.....
