Oh my goodness…I am sooo hungry these last few days!  Is it because I am up-ping the ‘ampee’ with my exercise and activity?  Is it because I am eating increased amount of fibrous foods and lean proteins, thus incinerating my internal fireplace?  Is my metabolism firing up?  Are my fat cells being depleted and crying to get filled back up?  (Fat cells don’t die, they shrink.)  In any event, today I chose to eat more calories, i.e., more quality calories.  Perhaps stabilizing for a few days on more calories, then dropping back down will quiet the hunger pains.  I’m going to give it a try.

Hunger woke me up this morning!  Is it a sign that my metabolism is already shifted up into a higher gear?  Could it be all the calories burned during and post-exercise (EPOC)?  Geesh, must have been burning up while sleeping!  The scale was dropped this morning too!  So, got up and had my whole oats with fresh chopped dates, fresh shredded coconut and flaxseed, and a bit of unsweetened plain soy milk.  YUM. YUM.  Anyone else in the FALL F.A.T. BLAST noticing increased hunger?
