Between meals

 My problem time is 4:00, I seem to ALWAYS get hungry at 4:00. Go figure? I think it's because I eat lunch and then it's a looong time before dinner.  You really should eat every 3 hours, I just tend to push it till dinner because I have another problem time... 8:00pm. Oh who am I kidding the day is FULL of problem times! But 4 and 8 seem to be the hardest.  So what do I do? I don't really like to munch on a bunch of carrots or celery, that just does NOT satisfy my hunger or craving.

I have 2 "go to" things.  One is a paleo bar - oh paleo how I love thee.  These bars are the best, no really they are the best.  They are filled with the best ingredients, they help you to feel full and they taste amazing! They have very little sugar so I won't go on a big swing and have a crash later.  When looking for a bar you want to make sure it has very little ingredients, low in sugar, a good source of protein and fiber.  You can click HERE for Paleo bars  that I use .... I pick the PB meal and Vanilla Almond, Yummo!!


The other thing I do is a protein shake. I use these frequently between meals or when I just can't get to my lunch.  The base of ALL my smoothies is:  Unsweetend vanilla Almond milk, Paleo Protein (again best ingredients for your body) frozen almond milk cubes that I make in a ice cube tray. 1/2 frozen banana. And then add whatever flavor you like: coco powder for chocolate, pumpkin and cinnamon for a nice wintery smoothie or frozen berries and no not the kind that is a mix from target, just berries and only a few.  Mix in a blender and enjoy!!!
Here is a link to the protein powder as well:  Protein Powder  I buy the vanilla and add my own flavor.

Another trick I have is Dessert Gum.  My favorite is Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream gum.  Oh it really helps, especially when you just really desire "sweet".

Breakfast today is an omelet.  In a small skillet I use a very small amount of coconut oil then I saute onion, green red and yellow peppers and mushrooms.  (these veggies are always pre cut by me and put in baggies in the freezer so it's really fast)  Then 1 egg mixed with 1/3rd cup of egg whites.  pour in a omelet pan cook egg mixture through and then add the veggies and fold.  You could add some feta cheese if you like! YUMMY!!!

pre cut veggies, Okay Gene really cut these!
