One reason that I didn't keep up with it, I believe, is that I didn't make much of an effort to change my eating habits. Sure, I changed what and how much I ate most of the time, but I mean that I didn't follow one crucial piece of the nutritionist's advice: eat slowly. I would still eat lighting fast, and I don't think I would digest as well or stay full as long.
So this time around, I'm making a conscious effort to eat slowly. As in eating a spoonful or two (or bites) of whatever and pushing it away from me for a minute before taking another.
It's going slow right now, but I'm trying. I'm also finding that it helps if I'm alternating what I'm eating? Like if I have two parts of my meal, I go from one food to the other (still going slowly, of course). Keeps me from being bored with that I eat, I suppose.
EDIT: Today a lunch, I treated myself to a tuna footlong from Subway and could only eat a little over half of it before I stopped because I felt full. Usually, I would just stuff he whole thing down no matter what and feel miserable later. This eating slowly thing is awesome!
