Over the last week or so, I haven't had my morning protein shake because I finished my protein and never ordered more.
I noticed I wasn't craving them. I thought I wanted them, but I wasn't craving them. This made me think of a discussion I read a long time ago on instinctive eating. Basically, you eat what you think you need.
The first thing I thought of was, well, everyone is just going to eat cookies/ice cream all day. Don't people crave sugar? This sounds horrible.
So I think I'm going try it for a week and see what happens.
The reason is I think I am not getting enough protein. My diet is mostly clean. I eat protein shakes, fish, beef, and salad. I drink water. Sweet potatoes/rice. A few nights ago, I ran out of salad and I following getting some more, I realized I wasn't craving it. Totally, before I go on, let me explain that I eat a big salad every night and I love it. I'm not one of the people who hates salad and forces myself to eat it. I love it. But I wasn't craving it, and when I got more salad, I thought I had to eat it rather than I wanted to eat it. So I thought maybe I am not now lacking whatever is in salad.
So I'm going to eat instinctively for a week and see what happens. Sometimes I just want to eat a shitload of whatever, and I'm going to. Still going to do what I can to eat healthy, though.
