Hi, I am on day 12 and the first week was easier.  This week I am ravenous this week no matter what I seem to eat.  I am reminding myself that I am in withdrawal and that I will be feeling uncomfortable.  I have managed to be sugar free in the past and remember I had the same reaction.  I was very hungry between meals and also very emotional, irritable and edgy.  I find drinking hot water, tea or milk takes the edge off.    I haven't weighed myself and have decided not to for a month, then only weigh monthly.  Keep at it.  I do remember that it got better eventually and I lost weight too.

Hi Leonie

Thanks for that I know I still get hungry I am now trying to not eat so much fat also, it is hard to know what to actually eat.  I love my fruit but of course to much fructose so havent been eating it.  I also love beetroot that is another one high in fructose so I guess I will have to stop growing it.

That is a good idea not to weigh yourself for a month I must stop doing it each day.  I have found myself to be emotional, irritable and edgy also, hopefully things are on the improve.

I might just go make a cup of tea thank goodness it is lunch time as I am hungry :-)

Hope things are still going well for you

Regards

Debra

Hi Debra

Don't cut out your fat just yet as it is something that stops you being hungry. It keeps you satisfied longer.  Bacon and eggs for brekky lasts a lot longer than toast. After withdrawal cut back on fats.  Don't deprive yourself of everything it makes it too hard.  I also found when hungry where I would usually (old habits die hard) have four sao's I made myself put two back and that would keep me going. 10 weeks on I still find myself getting out too much and having to put it back before I make it or I will eat it so as not to waste it.  It seems we have to retrain our thinking from all those past years and that is going to take time.  I was forever hungry last week so I must have had sugar unknowingly and being extra careful this week.  If it works which it has so far it is worth the effort.

Hang it there Rome wasn't built in a day.
