It's a bit hard in the beginning but after a while you don't care that much about eating. At the beginning set a timer on yourself, time can pass without you noticing. Also do not stop and start your meal again later for dessert. Have your meal and then dessert.
Also, is your reward meal balanced? That way you won't get out of control. Also check your other meals for hidden carbs. Protein shakes and bars are not allowed on this diet because of possible reaction to sugar alcohols. Also diet soft drinks, sugarless gum and, in fact, all sugar substitutes are also limited due to insulin reaction.s A carbohydrate addict is very insulin sensitive to sugars and sugar replacements. If you get them at your other meals, your insulin will surge and your appetite can get out of control at your reward meal. Remember insulin is the hunger hormone.
It is important to follow the one hour Reward Meal limit, that is what controls your insulin levels. You get used to it after a while. Also if you're eating in a restaurant, have them bring appetizers and entree together. When you are half done with your meal, order dessert.
Good Luck!
