hiya bethany
which diet are you doing?
if it is one of the formula diets then the more you break it apparently its harder to get back on so the main thing is too try your hardest to stick at it, are you drinking enough water? because that really does help with the feelings of hunger,
what you should do is take it slowly and maybe have 2 packs a day and a small evening meal of white meat and green veg untill you are ready to go completely onto packs again
i am not an expert as this is only my third week so anyone with more experience please correct me if i am wrong,
also can you really afford to buy the packs and pay for food as well, the packs are quite alot of money so once you buy them you should really think...right thats it thats all my food money gone and use any leftover cash to buy good treats like magazines nice bubble baths ect, this is what i do and have had far more cash to spend on nice things than before when i was buying takeouts all the time

hope this helps
good luck and lots of hugs

Hiya B!

It is the problem with coming off the diet for a while, it can be a problem.

My advice is to use water as your food until you are back in ketosis, every time you want to nibble drink a big glass of water and just hang in there.

You have to want to be slim more than eat (which you do!) so be super tough for a few days and you'll be back into it.

Hiya Natayou I do not do the formular packs I am doing the unit diet where you have so many units a day and eating normal food It has not been going all that long as I had 2 slices of toast for my breakfast with marmalabe that does not seem as filling as porridge or cereal.
Thanks for your help

Hiya Icemoose

Thanks I always have this problem no matter what I dont drink alot of water.I agree you have to want to lose weight yourself.I do the unit diet not been going long.It will just click and i will get back.
Thanks again
Bethany

Bethany have you thought of maybe changing diets til you get started. Getting into the right frame of mind is so important but personally Ive found getting support and back up important too. Have you thought of maybe trying WW or SW for a while. Theres a few of us doing that and are able to help each other out. At the moment youre totally on your own with the unit diet.

Hiya I did sw along time ago and i lost 5 and half stone in 1 year but what got me was the cereal where you are only allowed 28g where i would like more i used to like the free food plenty of choice as i dont eat much bread and same as potatoes i love jackets but on a red you cant have mashed
Bethany

Why not try WW?? You can have anything on it so long as you keep to your points.

gosh sorry bethany all my advice was useless then ,
apart from the water thing any diet will benefit from drinking a fair bit of water, as your not worrying about ketosis you could always mix it with sugar free cordial or buy flavoured water it may help
