I've been on Lipotrim for 4 weeks and not cheated even once. However, since about 9 days in I have craved chicken ceasar salad with nandos extra hot sauce but no croutons. I dream chicken ceasar salad! After about 15 days it calmed a little for about 4 days but here it is again! I cannot get this out of my head, I am salivating at the thought! I craved it that much I found myself cooking it for my hubby and daughter on more than one occaision.
I don't think it helps that I am really hungry ... a lot! Ketosis is suposed to curb your apetite however I am not finding that very much. I have been getting so cranky cause I'm so hungry too. I get very light headed too which does get better for a couple of hours after I have had a shake so I know it is to do with lack of nutrients. I wonder if this is why I keep craving chicken ceasar salad - hardly an unhealthy meal!
I drink lots of water - still and sparkling, black coffee and peppermint tea which is not helping to curb the hunger or the craving.
I don't want to break the diet; I have far too much to lose but I don't want to feel unwell either. This is the only diet, so far, where I have actually been losing weight significantly, my motivation has not dropped at all.
I am wondering though if the craving is my body's way of telling me I need something more in my diet . If this is the case, should I add a small chicken ceasar salad to my diet, say, once a month? I know it won't knock me out of ketosis as it is high protein and very low carbs.
I'm having real trouble with this. What do you all think?
