All day long I am snacking on mixed nuts, dates and/or raisins. Supper I will eat a semi-normal meal with the family, but my meat portion will be smaller and heavier on cooked veggies. Again, I keep dates and mixed nuts at hand for evening snacking.
I drink water and club soda (no sugars). V8 juice when I fancy. Want to try to incorporate more grains in the coming weeks. I'm on my second week of eating like this.
You might cut back on the fruit a little and switch that out for veggies. You might try going for 3 days with no fruit at all and see if that's it. If so, reintroduce one at a time. I'd stick with fresh fruit. I'd include dates in that group, but not raisins.
