Cravings Please help!

[sharnjit]

sooo i'm in my 4th week, and i know that its likely that we are going to get food cravings but mines getting worse.
I keep thinking about food 24/7. Fortunately I haven't gone and eaten anything yet but what can i do to stop these cravings??
I'm already trying to focus my mind on my law revision but it keeps getting subsided to thinking of food!!
Please help!!

Apparently you can make LL approved jelly with the mousse powder and water flavourings although I haven't tried it

Yes sugar free jelly is allowed on most vlcd s but LL now say not. I suspect this is because they want to sell the mousse powder and water flavourings.
I'm taking this opportunity to cut aspartame from my diet and unfortunately I think all the sugar free jellies are full of aspartame. Also can't have mousse powder as it has gluten in it I think

Another thing most sugar free jellies contain (e.g. Hartley's) is citric acid, which might knock you out of ketosis.
