Re: Day 3 started 500 cal today

[Guest guest]

Hi Sharon,

I am also on Day 3. I did my gorging on Friday and Saturday. I

must admit, it seems a little harder than I thought it would be

today. I wonder if I did something wrong when I injected because it

was difficult for me to eat on Fri & Sat, I just wasn't hungry. Of

course now that I'm on the 500 cal diet, I'm starving. I am not

going to cheat though. I am trying to get by with a lot of tea. I

also cooked up a bunch of chicken yesterday for the week, steak

tonight. I already portioned fish and it's in the freezer for when

I'm ready.

It sounds like so far so good for you. Keep up the good work!

Hi Deb, I also found it hard to eat but I forced myself and ate high

calorie foods. I don't even want to look at any of the food I ate

during my gorge yuk. I'm also hungry today but it feels good compared

to feeling stuffed on Friday and Saturday. Are you interested in

being diet buddies? I'm also doing this with Kirsten. We just email

whats going on, how were feeling progress and stuff. Email me back if

you're interested and I let Kirsten know too! Have an awesome night!

Yes, that would be great. I had sent an email out this AM to that

effect but did not hear back from anyone.

Regarding the rest of the evening, I just decided to treat it as

though I was gorging one additional day. I didn't go overboard, but

it was my last night with my parents visiting. I had a glass of

wine, some Caprese Salad and some potatoes (on top of my steak and

salad). I felt my brain settle down a bit after that. Tomorrow, I

am the chairperson for my kids' school's big golf tournament

fundraiser. I know I will be very busy and will probably not have

time to think about food. I am going to set my expectations for

success and get through the first day of the 500 cal thing.

Where are you from? I live in CO in the Vail area. Is Kirsten at

the same stage as us?

Keep up the good work! Deb

Hi Sharon,I think that the reason we get so hungry on phase 2 is because we are still processing refined sugars. I know when I gave up sugar in the past,I went through horrible hunger pains at first, followed by terrible headaches. But afterwards, I went through whole days when I hardly felt hungry at all. I know KT and others have said getting off the stuff is about the same as getting off any other drug, like nicotine and alcohol. The body fights at first, and then it calms down and you don't feel the cravings as much as before. So when you feel like you are going to fall apart, remember that your body is just reacting to what it thinks is "deprivation." Your blood sugar spikes and then when it drops it sends a signal to your brain asking for more sugar. If you don't give it, it tortures you into believing you are starving. Think about it, you are probably a long way from starving...but i know the feeling.

Trust this: once those sugars are processed out of your system, you will feel a lot less hungry Good luck and hang in there.mitbbydeb <mitbbydeb@...> wrote: Yes, that would be great.

Hello ,

Sharon is actually not the starving one. That was me, Deb, replying

to her email. However, today I woke up and discovered that I had

lost 4 lbs since starting the 500 cal diet (after the 2 gorging

days). That realization will really help get over the feeling of

deprivation today.

I will keep your advise about the hunger in mind and get through

this first week. Thank you.

Hi Deb and , I'm taking hoodia gordonii in the afternoon to take

the edge off. It seems to help with my appetite. I plan to just take

it for the first week. The brand I have is Nutraceutical Science

Institute which are high quality dietary supplements. I purchased

them from vitacost.com Vitacost prices and products are excellent.

FYI Kirsten is just starting phase 2 too. She and I have been

emailing and helping each other out since we've started around the

same time. You all are welcome to join our buddy group too. Sharon

Hello Sharon (topkatsharon),

How are you hanging in there? I believe we are both on the same day

by now. I am down a total of 6 lbs since sunday (after my gorge I

gained a bit). I am still a bit hungry, so I've included the

grissini breadsticks that Simmeon recommended in her manual. I will

fade that out after a few days.

Hi Deb, Thats great 6lbs you must be pysched. I'm down 8lbs since

Sunday, but I gained 7lbs on my gorge. I'm taking this as 8lbs lost

though. I don't know how but I feel thinner this afternoon than I did

this morning. I couldn't find the breadsticks so I'v been eatting one

melbatoast. I'm also taking 2 Hoodia Gordinii tabs around 3:30 so.

Hopefully, I won't need to continue to do that. If you want to talk

to Kirsten Garrigan. You'll find her on the members list. If you find

anyother beginning phase 2ers, let them know. Do you know if there's

a chatroom with ? Well, I gotta run, my daughter is

getting some awards at school tonight. Lose Lots! Sharon
