I have no hunger at all. It is more an eating regime than a diet.
Favourite dessert-berries greek yogurt and organic cocoa. Green juice twice a day and green tea.
Glass of red wine too.
There is a really good cook book. It is very yummie food. Something I can stick with.
At least I am losing weight, not sure about the science though, some of its a little overstated. It's healthy good and nutritious and I am never hungry, so all good.
I was on the eat glow nourish eating plan before for extreme care and I lost 20lbs on it, actually 30lbs but I put on 10lbs since by bad eating and PTSD. Ii looking for a way of life eating plan and may alternate these plans.
Variety is the spice.

If you are losing weight and eating healthy foods, it sounds like a great plan.
I have been on some pretty strict diets and they are not sustainable. Only good for temporary loss and you really have to be pretty motivated to get through them.
Because of my stress right now, weight is not an issue for me. I have been trying to make sure I eat vegetables with every meal though. (Something I actually love to eat ) I love avocados as well because they are filling. I really do best when I avoid pasta and bread. I use a WASA cracker or rice cake instead.
I should look up the juice recipes. Might be a good way to get more nutrients.
Let us know how you are doing with it and some of your meals, since you dedicated this thread to weight loss. Great for accountability and they sound delicious the way you describe it.

The book I am using is the SIRT diet cookbook by Jacqueline Whitehart.
If you like avocados try making a base juice from veg in the juicer and add to an avocado smoothie. I found Kale was a nightmare to juice or smooth so I just cook it instead with a little coconut oil.
My base juice: 4 apples or pears, 1 big bunch celery, carrots and ginger to taste. A big jug in the fridge it lasts five days, I add broccoli or cabbage or Brussels sprouts to taste sometimes.
Then I make my smoothie for the day, say avocado (which doesn't juice) kiwi fruit and others Mango, peach, plums, ripe pineapple. spinach seems to be ok and can add basil.
Vanilla essence and protein powder or coconut flour adds taste too and is filling on the run.
Then I use my juice base with coconut water or almond milk and mix it with the smoothie. Smoothie on the day, juice in advance. Best of both worlds.
I also use the left over pulp to make a breakfast tortilla which lasts five days. I add rocket and red onions with garlic and bake in the onion.
I buy a big bag of frozen chicken pieces and cook that up in one big batch. Discarding the skin of course when I eat. Tinned salmon is amazing for making buckwheat koubliac served with a spinach salad. I make a wide variety of pesto with other leaves instead of basil. I also toast sesame seeds and pine nuts to sprinkle on salads, adding turmeric and mustard powder. I have ceased to use any type of spreads so it's goats butter or coconut oil. A can of coconut milk is used in two ways, the top like cream on pancakes or with coco powder in a cocoa shot and the water in my juices.
My big discovery is buckwheat, soba noodles in stir fries, pancakes with chopped apple and cinnamon. I now use dates mango and plums as sauce thickeners.
Hope this helps.
