Am I the only newbie who finds that you're getting hungry every couple hours on ETL? I'm going to assume that it's due to the fact veg & fruit are digested quicker than meat. I've been snacking on raw veggies off and on all day.
I've started today with the program by using a copy of the food pyramid even though my copy of the book has arrived yet. I've got baby weight to lose & no time to spare, as I'm going to a family wedding in late July.

It is true (and often a "selling point") that fruits and vegetables digest quickly. I think vegetables are more useful than fruit for their 'staying power'. Funny you should mention it, I was only revisiting the pyramid from the book yesterday:
With the best of intentions i cannot quite make 30% of my calories come from (non-starchy) vegetables. At my current intake of 1700 calories, 30% is 510 calories. If I was chewing raw broccoli all day that would be 1645 grams (3.6lb)...

Perhaps eating some nuts and seeds like almonds, cashews or sunflower seeds would help balance it out?
