Curb Cravings!

If between meals you become hungry, you need to add additional portions of protein to the meal.  For example, add an extra egg, piece of sausage, bacon, or a piece of cheese or some nuts.  If you crave sweets 1 to 2 hrs after a meal, your carb portions were too large.  For example, if you had a banana, some  juice or yogurt,  a large hash brown or 2 pieces of toast,  you should cut your carbs down.  E-mail me and I will send additional info.  My e-mail address is  jlfelts@ll.net
