Way to eat less than 80 grams of carbs. Ideal would be 50-80 grams for even carb up days. If you eat too many carbs, you will spike insulin and add fat.

I cannot eat a big meal before I lift or do cardio... else I will puke up my food.

I eat a lot of vegetables with fiber and fruit.

So not quite sure- sometimes I have more hunger and eat almost 3,000 calories other days I may eat 1600-2000 calories.

Hi folks,

I am working on getting leaner for next year. My problem is that I get very hungry both at night time and first thing in the morning. I wish that I not get so hungry at these times so...

When I switched from drinking the yerba mate to a mate gourd, it tastes way better more flavor as well. Plus its kinda relax meditation to sit there first thing in the morning or early afternoon...

It is less acidic to my stomach and no more jitters- great mental alertness and less damaging to my teeth than coffee.

Best of all- drink it from the mate gourd is fun.

I have been drinking yerba mate off and on for past few years.

It is one of my favorite drinks and has given me lot of benefit from mental alertness, fat burning and helps relax. I quit coffee...

Thanks guys,
