The first week can be very tough. Hang in there as next week will be a lot better! I wouldn't bother with the ketosis strips - they are not accurate. You'll know if you're in ketosis because you won't feel very hungry and you may find a funny taste in your mouth. It'll come in it's own time - but I doubt that you're far off now.

Amusing Title.
i think often times (for me anyway) im not hungry, im bored. and eating is something to do.
ive a raging headache and a cup of tea and tablets should sort it... try doing something with your hands, paint your nails, brush your teeth., they both help xx

Great advice Paula, I've just been doing my nails!
Tanya I've had a banana shake, spicy spaghetti and choc shake made into 2 biscuits and 200g of asparagus, 1 poached egg and 50g of smoked haddock for tea. 2 big cups of coffee and about 8 glasses of water. I don't think I could manage on just the meals alone so I've opted for 3 meals and a protein meal cos I like to chew on things. My tummy's not hungry but my mouth still wants food. I've found today the hardest but I'm sure it's just cos I'm at home. Get yourself an early night and see how you feel in the morning.

Oh honey, I hope you're feeling ok today?? Hang in there. It really is getting easier. Im finding that Im not really hungry anymore, and every time I feel like i am, Im drinking something. (water, green tea etc). I just said to my OH yesterday how funny it was that being on a diet seemed to make the days feel like years for the first few weeks. I feel like I've been doing this for about 4 months not 4 days!! (Without the fabulous weight loss I would have done in that time though! 
)
It will get better sweety. Just try and visualise something nice you will do for yourself at the end of this first week to celebrate your loss

Hi
Day 4 was my worst day as well, I am on Day 5 today and have a horrible taste in my mouth so I am hoping I am finally getting into ketosis. I am aiming in getting through week 1 so only a few days and goal achieved and hopefully then things will be better.
I hope your Day 5 is better xx

oooh there's loads of us day 5'ever here isn't there. I wonder what made us all start last Wed, how random. Isn't it weird seeing how we're all experiencing different things at different times. just goes to show, no matter how much you read up, you won't know what it's like til you try it.
