Tiny bit restless last night, woke up few time to go to restroom but easy to fall back asleep, few weird dreams nothing unusual though.  Wok up 7:15 not hungry having cappucinno need to wait to have mixture each day so my thyroid medication has one hour to be absorbed.   Will try same amount of solution as yesterday.  Weighed in at 189.6.

Breakfast 9:00 not hungry but feel need for nurishment, Had Egg, 2 slices of Trader Joes Non Nitrate Beef Bacon, and 1 slice of 7 grain bread (I did notice when I took misture today it wasn't as gelatinous, maybe because I took it right away hopefully once taken it gets thicker in my stomach to keep me full.  Will remember to have healthy carb free snacks hopefully carbs cravings go away as soon I want to go one full week very low carb to see if it forces my body to use fat reserves.  May have to do larger mixture than 8 oz and maybe touch more of the Guar Gum and Xantham gum, do feel slightly nautious after but I think it has to do with the texture.  I also worry when I eat it starts my stomach up and my body may start to digest mixture faster not sure.

Only 9:25 and I'm still wanting to eat something need to take more of mixture not sure why I'm having cravings could be pre-mentrual as I often do crave quite a bit.  i will make half serving of mixture with Gum's and maybe mix it with Odwalla Juice 4 oz.  Hopefully that will be correct amount. So realized stomach can hold 2-3 liters of liquid etc so 8 oz is too small I feel okay with 12 oz but tomorrow I will try to take 16 oz and see results.  May have to test size each day also may have to let mixture thicken slightly before taking.  Maybe stomach acid prevents it from thickening correctly?

So 11:25 i feel I could easily defer from eating food as just a little hungry and feel it's mostly in my head and in association with energy, feel same such as ADD when I'm hungry, will eat salad with Carne Asada and Cheddar etc for lunch.  Really craving something high in Fat such as a burito or cheeseburger.  Need to ignore since I have tons food.  May get an Avocado to add or some guacamole as definately feel it could calm down cravings.

Wasn't starving but kept thinking I wasn't completely full, took 8 oz of Green Machine added more Xantham Gum and Guar Gum.  Hopefully tomorrow when I do 16 oz it will keep me full, need to find a good low calorie juice or something to mix in much easier to drink with Naked Green Drink.  Tomorrow I may let mixture sit a few minutes to make sure I put enough in it to get thick enough if it's not getitng thick enough it probably is why I'm getting hungry faster.  also had small square of Chocolate, I have also noticed I have not been as regular as normal.  

It's now 4:30 one with work had some greek yogurt and will go to take a walk feel fine for now.

It's now 6:17 I feel fine little hungry just walked in the park for about an hour maybe hour and half.  Going to have Sushi roll for dinner then see after that if still hungry.
