Freewrite Day 450 Hungry

My whole sense of hunger changed when I got healthy and lost “half my size.” I went from a diet of nutritionally barren food to one of nutritionally dense food in a period of about 6 months.

Instead of thinking about calories, I was thinking about the 31 essential nutrients. This changed everything.

In the past I had been “stuffed yet starving.” I was eating and eating and eating, but I was always hungry!

When my diet changed to one rich in the essential nutrients, I was eating better food, that tasted better, that was less expensive, and that filled me up and gave me energy at the same time.

Then I was not hungry!

When I got hungry later, I would make another healthy meal.

Then I would eat it and not be hungry again!

It was a shocking change I did not expect.

This is why I focus on the nutrients instead of the calories. If you are hunting for them, the food is so much better. At the height of my weight loss time, I was eating a huge variety of food in small servings. My plates looked lovely and each morsel was delicious and fulfilling.

Did I get my iodine for the day? Yes!
Did I get my magnesium? Yes?
Did I get my Vitamin C? Yes?

Once you are getting about 10 of these nutrients you are also getting most of the rest of them. There were only a very few that I had to really try for after I got going.

@bxlphabet was in his late teens with no weight problem at the time. He loved this new food! He must have said 100 times, “I wish we ate like this my whole life. It tastes so much better and I feel so much better.”

PS: Everything about this diet is better than before. It is less expensive and better tasting and better for my health.

The only thing that is “worse” is that you need to learn new skills, hunt for the food, and prepare it for yourself. But you are worth the time and effort, so lets get started now.
