[Guest guest]

Did anyone feel hungry during Phase 1? What are some tips if you do get hungry?

I personally did not cut out the caffeine although it is an appetite stimulant. I did not want to take on too many battles at the same time.

I haven't cut out the caffeine, either. I have about 2 cups a day, and I enjoy it. I drink it with a little skim milk and no sweetner. It doesn't increase my appetite at all.

When I was hungry I did a very simple thing.....I ate.

Good luck, you can do it and remember....

JUST FOURTEEN DAYS.

You don't have to give up your coffee. You should use low fat or fat free

milk as your creamers. I believe there is a 2-cup limit per day. Someone

correct me if I'm wrong here.

Yes, at times I was very hungry.

Eat all you want from the Foods to Enjoy list. Eat until you aren't hungry

any more.

Caffeine is actually an appetite suppressant, however, it can cause a spike in the blood sugar. I know this from the hypoglycemia I battled for years.
