Hi Glen, I am starting my 7th day today and so far so good. I have not had the craving for sweets, yet, which is really amazing for me, I have found the higher fat foods have helped in this. When I have been hungry I grab a handful of walnuts which also really help. I used to eat non stop but am finding at the moment I am only eating 3 meals with a morning afternoon and evening small snack, again this is quite amazing for me, although some may consider this non stop. But truly it would be difficult to go more than 1/2 an hour without putting something in my mouth. I have previously found that food was a habit and or crutch or both, I have not really suffered from withdrawal, again this has been amazing, I have been waiting for my body to scream out for sugar, as yet this has not happened. As David has stated the withdrawal period varies for everybody so that absolute need for sugar may be just be around the corner. I have also found my husband to be very helpful, he is reading labels, although he has always been supportive of my many diets, he has never understood them himself, he does not have a weight problem. At this stage I am feeling really confident, so lets enjoy this journey together.
Good luck
Diane
