Progress ????
My appetite has diminished to where I have to give quite a bit of thought to at least nibbling on something for some of my 6 "meals" each day, otherwise I probably would skip meals!
I have not been able to figure out what nutritional type I am, even after reading the Metabolic Typing Diet. I am guessing I must be a mixed type-although I would have put myself as a protein type, if I were to guess.
I just don't seem to be making progress. I feel better, but not making the progress I expected after 5 weeks of the food changes.

Hi Dawn,
I responded to your other posting too...
As for your diminished hunger problem, why don't you skip the 6 mini-meals for a few days and see how you do with just 3-4 meals/day. Some people do better with this schedule and maybe you will- just try it. See if you are hungrier for your meals. Don't obsess over the metabolic typing- just eat some protein and fat with your meals and eat lots of raw foods and minimize the carbs. Everything you are doing is great- I sense your body just needs to get healthier before the weight really starts coming off. I know you have a "deadline' (a wedding, I think), but let that go and think about all the time in the future you will have to enjoy your healthier thinner self. Also make sure you are increasing your exercise (a combination of some cardio with strength training and stretching) and get to bed by 10 if possible (and sleep at leas.t 8 hours)

I will try the 3-4 meals a day. I think that will be better for me. I was never a big eater, and even with the mini meals and grazing, I feel I am over eating. I'll give it a go!
I appreciate your comment about not obsessing over nutritional typing. That will become my mantra! "just eat some protein and fat with meals and eat lots of raw foods and minimize the carbs"
Yes, my son's wedding is June 1st and I had hoped to feel better about my weight by then. I will let it go. I know the most important thing is to be healthy, and I want this to be for a lifetime. Thank you. Reading your words on this was quite an emotional release for me.
Yes, I know I need to do this. And I will implement it today.
I have quite a bit of a hard time sleeping and have for over 15 years. No one thought to actually check my adrenals. Come to find out recently that I am in stage 5 bordering on 6 adrenal stress and at midnight (when I should be snoozing) my cortisol level is 15. YIKES! No wonder I have a hard time sleeping! I go to bed typically around 9:00 and when I sleep I get up around 6:00. When I don't, I can be wide awake at 2:00. I am taking supplements to hopefully turn that around and creams that I put on pulse points to guide my body back into normal rhythms. If you need more info, just let me know.
I appreciate you and all the time you are taking to help all of us!!
Warm regards,
Dawn
