I didn't know that about thirst and hunger, but that makes a lot of sense. As it is, I've started drinking more water using those Crystal Light flavoring things. I also have started buying the small packages of carrots for snacking, which seem to work great!
I'll keep the red meat thing in mind; I can think of -tons- of recipes for chicken and fish. [Though both the hubby and I get tired of chicken after a while. Fish is a definite option, though.]
We have a treadmill, and I've been trying to go at least 10+ minutes a day on that.
