Hunger Pangs - Advice I Received
I spoke with a 'born again' nutritionist friend of mine yesterday. She has seen the light and is now a believer in the Atkins way. Although she is the fittest (and most toned) person I know, she lives the Atkins maintenance way.
Anyway, she had an interesting thought for me.
The orthodox dieting view that I have heard is that when you get hunger pangs, it is your body's way of telling you that it is about to dip into your stored fat reserves.
No way, she says. It is actually your body telling you
" feed me now or I am going into starvation mode"
The moral is quite clear to her. On Atkins, if you are hungry, EAT.
Any thoughts??
