Believe it or not, but my diabetes is well controlled. The kashi I have for breakfast has the same amount of protein as an egg (and I dislike eggs, especially those with a hard yolk).

Here's a sample of my average day. I'm under my calories (I never said I was starving myself, just not getting the recommended amount).

I asked what others do/advice...I did not ask to be judged and criticized! 1) I had a hysterectomy at an early age and the loss of hormones helped contribute to the weight 2) One year after the hysterectomy, I tore my ACL (which the military never repaired), so I wasn't able to be as active as I used to be. 3) I was put on…

From everything I have read, if you're not getting enough calories, it can prevent you from losing weight. Plus, my doctor has told me this in the past. http://www.shape.com/blogs/weight-loss-coach/why-undereating-works-against-you http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/why-undereating-wont-actually-help-you-lose-weight/…

I force myself to eat breakfast, even if it's just a piece of toast. Since I'm diabetic, I have to eat something. Same with lunch...rarely hungry. For dinner, I'm lucky if I eat half of what's on my plate.

I should have mentioned, I'm diabetic, so not eating in the morning is not an option, otherwise, I would crash from low blood sugar (after taking my morning insulin).
