I managed to survive through the first day. Actually, midway through dinner I already felt so stuffed. I still have the 1 cup of yogurt and fruit juice but i feel like my stomach has no space for it anymore. Is this just normal? It feels as though I would be gaining weight rather than losing LOL. Is it ok if I don't consume everything in the meal plan or would I be lacking in needed nutrients? Also i followed the torta recipe as written but found it to be a bit salty for my taste. Is it ok also to not stick to the recipes and season the meals to fit my tastebuds? | ||

@ whitechocolate: As much as possible, yes, but you don't need to finish everything in one sitting. You can have other food items as snack, instead of resorting to unhealthy snacks. But above all, you don't need to force yourself to eat if you are satisfied already
You can have a sweet dessert from occasionally. Since you are just starting with the program, you can have 1 sweet dessert for the week. A sweet dessert could be anything like 1 sundae cone, puto bumbong or bibingka. Just make sure to substitute them
1 sundae cone = 1 dairy serving
1 bibingka or 3 pcs puto bumbong = 1 starch serving

@charmaineanne: That's quite reassuring to know that feeling stuffed is normal. I feel that I'm actually eating more than my usual meanls and I'm not even dieting then. I just want to ask do I have to finish all the food within the day? Just like now it's 9pm and I haven't started on my ponkan which is the last fruit of the day. I wasn't able to finish my rice and corn soup. Is it okay?
Finally when will I see something sweet as a dessert in the meal plan? All the desserts I noticed are fruits. When will it be okay to eat ice cream, sundae or eve taste bibinka and puto bumbong? B-)

Hi mamu-g!
Great job on the first day of your diet! :) It is actually quite normal (and a common feedback) to feel stuffed after a meal. It seems so because these food items are nutrient-dense, especially the starches (bread and rice for example) and vegetables. These food items will easily fill you up because of the fiber they contain. If you can't finish all the food items in one sitting, you can eat some food items, like your fruit or yogurt as an afternoon snack.
You also have the liberty to season your dishes according to your preference :)
