hi Sadai,

Being busy isn't being lazy. But you do really need to be prepared. When you cook meats, chicken etc, always cook extra to have cold in the fridge for quick meals over the next few days. Cold chicken and strips of roast or leftover steaks and burgers are delicious in a dip of sugar-free mayonnnaise, with a little dijon, horseradish or Tabasco, or your choice of herbs & garlic. Or boil up 1/2 dozen eggs. Scrambled eggs and omelets anyway are fast and easy, add some grated Swiss or Cheddar cheese. Roll sliced deli meats around a dill pickle. Stock up on the little cans of salmon and tuna and smoked herring fillets. Pay a visit to a health food/sport nutrition store. Don't be put off by the pictures of muscle-men on those big canisters of protein powders. Read the labels, make sure the one you pick is low in carbs, some aren't. Most of the whey and isolated whey protein mixes are quite tasty, and they are very high in protein. One of these can replace breakfast or lunch.

Do not undereat. I can't emphasize it enough. If you are genuinely not hungry, just eat a small amount, only more frequently. Many people do anyway, because that is a really good way to keep blood sugar levels stable, and cravings at bay.

take care, and keep us posted how you're doing,

Doreen
