Thanks for the concerns.Why should I eat when I'm not hungry? Those actions were one of the factors that led to obesity.I eat only when I am hungry.My body is doing a good job of that.Sometimes I am hungry mid day, other times not.I eat a filling Bfast and same for evening meal.My caloric intake is more than enough to meet demands.I tried atkins before, followed it to the T, and after moving up the rung, hunger returned back.Like many others, I gained it all back.If I could control hunger with will power, I wouldn't be obese in the first place.Too old to yoyo diet again.YES, I have made modifications to Atkins diet.It is working very well for me and I have no plans to change.But again,I understand your views and appreciate your input.
