    Thank you to all who responded! I love having all this feedback. I went with a serving of almonds and a serving of "1/2 the fat" Mud Pie ice cream! :flowerforyou:

    if you are not hungry I would listen to my body.
    That's how disordered eating usually begins...

    "I'm not hungry after eating 1800 calories."
    "I'm not hungry after eating 1400 calories."
    "I'm not hungry after eating 1100 calories."
    "I'm not hungry after eating 800 calories."

    Chronic calorie restriction along with decline in leptin concentration levels continue this cycle where people falsely interpret their altered satiety signaling to think they are meeting their energy needs when they aren't.

    @ geekyjock. Yes, I agree. I really do try to myself that food is not the enemy. But I can EASILY see how simple it would be to slip in to anorexic behavior. For me it would be a slippery slope...

    sugars late at night do nothing but pool in your stomach and turn into belly fat... then in a month or two you will be making threads about how you loss weight but you cant seem to get rid of your muffin top/beer gut.

    sugars aka carbs are best during the day and ideal an hour or two before you workout

    Are you f'kin kidding me?!?!? And where the hell did you get this "science"? LINKS! FACTS! Or continue to be laughed at!

    One thing I found out on this journey if you feel like eating then eat in moderation.

    Do you honestly believe this garbage that you spew or are you seriously that naive?

    You don't want to go there. The part I edited in explains why the cycle is hard for people to notice and break.. One of the endocrinological alterations that takes quite a while to return back to normal levels in AN is serum leptin concentrations. In many studies that compared leptin values to current AN patients, recovered AN patients, and women without a history of disordered eating, the recovered AN patients' leptin values were not significantly greater than current AN patients and were greatly reduced compared to normal, healthy women. In other words, even long after they recovered, their leptin values were still far from normal. This is why it's paramount for recovered AN patients to continue upping and maintaining a high intake of calories during and long after the refeed process.

    The lesson of this fable: Never trust hunger to meet energy demands while on a chronic and increasing deficit.

    A calorie of refined sugar is not equal to a calorie of healthy food. Sorry, that is just how it is. Not saying it isn't okay to indulge, but all calories are not created equal. A few great snacks that aren't *that* bad would be a few dried dates with raw peanut butter, mixing raw peanut butter, raw pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and xylitol or honey and eating it as a pudding, banana with peanut butter, ect. www.chocolatecoveredkatie.com is a wonderful blog for people who have a sweet tooth and want to maintain a healthy diet. Enjoy your extra calories for the day!
    Negative ghost rider. A calorie is a calorie. The only thing that changes is the other crap in the food. Try again.
