I always find this DS has a mind of its own.  Sometimes I am hungry...often..and eat often.  Take the opportunity to get in as much protein as possible.

sometimes I am not at all hungry...and eat any way...for the same protein reasons.

On Thursday at work when I was packing up at about 6 to come home I noticed my lunch bag sitting by my shoes.  I opened it and realized that I had completely forgotten to eat. 

I had a lunch time meeting to get ready for with the brass (and no eating was done there as the brass is not in a lunch time zone and it was on video)  and then after the meeting about 2...it just never crossed my mind.

I must admit to be totally shocked to see my lunch bag and completely forgotten.  Needless to say from a protein point of view this was pretty careless.  I had about 4 eggs in the morning and then in the evening it was impossible to get in about 80 grams of protein... so the message to you Dsers..don't do this at home  :)

Luckily I do take a 1 liter of milk each day to work and had drank my lattes throughout the day...so I would have had protein there.

Strange though..

ps.  just thinking about the 4 eggs...now from my blood work I find out my cholesterol is on the low side...does anyone actually know if eggs do have cholesterol?  I know the studies change from time to time on this...but I eat 4 to 5 most days.  So was surprised to hear my Dr. say it is low.

I would be interested to see someone how has high cholestrerol see how it reacts after a DS...Michelle...read anything about this from real people?
(I know the studies say it lowers cholesterol...but for it to go too low?  Strange...)

Cholestrol protect the mylinin sheath that covers the brain and spinal cord. If it were to get too low it would affect this sheath and cause damage. This happens with Lipitor which is a cholestrol lowering medication. I have read about people (rare) who have suffered serious memory loss after taking Lipitor and Crestor. I had to stop taking both because of memory loss. and leg pain. I am really not too worried about high cholestrol. Lowering it won't substantially increase your life span. There has been an awful lot of hype surrounding high cholestrol in the past 10 years. I don't know much about low cholestrol.

I can't imagine forgetting to eat. I get really hungry about 3 hours after I eat.
