The pouch rules are more for people who are further out and or maintaining. Nothing I have read has said to take an hour to eat. Everything I have read says 15-20 minutes otherwise you end up grazing. I do not drink 1 hr before or sfter eating. I do not water load before eating. I am still only able to eat about 1/2 c of food at a meal. There are lots of info out there. Someone even posted that a Dr wrote that you should NOT eat if your not physically hungry.........well that means I would have eaten nothing in the past 5 months
I still do not get physically hungry but I know my body needs to eat. I do eat my protein first but I will also have a bite of veggies along the way, it gets borning eating the same thing .
