Dan... I am noticing that you are eating dried mango. Are you drying this mango yourself or buying it at a store? If you are drying it yourself that's fine. But usually the dried fruit that is purchased at stores is usually loaded with sugar regardless how sweet the fruit is to start with. As well, try to eat complete meals/snacks. There are many times where you are only consuming carbs or carbs and fat.
Lastly, if you are eating before a workout, try to avoid consuming carbohydrates. Eating only protein and fat prior to a workout mobilizes/opens cell membranes, through the hormone glucagon, to release stored glycogen (energy) for use during a workout. The fat also helps provide extra energy for the workout.
Weight had lifted a couple of pounds but is back down--presently back at 10 lbs down from start of challenge. But today appetite was HUGE, and I felt like I was eating all day long.
Mar...my friend was going on about yogurt tonight, all I could think about was Greek yogurt with honey! And I now feel your pain with these stupid sugar cravings!

Dawson, thanks for the info. I checked the mango at bulk barn and there is no added sugar. I will try to reduce the amount / frequency of eating dried mango.
I will try adding more protein into my snacks and meals. What are your suggestions for protein besides meat and eggs?
