2 week observation
I’m 2 weeks into starting Zep and this is what I noticed. I celebrated a milestone birthday over the weekend, with drinks and food being the focus among really great visits. I was unable to drink like usual (no issues with alcohol- very social drinker, maybe x1/month if that) without feeling sick. I sipped but found my stomach felt off the entire time. Food- I finally felt like I grazed and walked away from the meals/snacks so much easier. At no point did I have to think “did I eat too much” or did I feel like I needed to base when I stopped eating on others eating habits. In the past I always felt unable to stop the snacking or over eating while in these situations.
I’ve noticed my food noise has decreased, the amount I eat is less, and I feel fuller faster. I’m not currently tracking my macros (but taking mental notes, priority being protein and fiber) and hope I can build healthy habits without it being super obsessive.
