As a serial dieter (done weight watchers, atkins, slimming world) I always thought that a very low calorie diet with no real food would kill me! How can anyone survive without real food??!! Well, after a friend lost 3 1/2 stone in 4 months I thought i'd have to give it a try. I'm on my second day and it's not killed me yet!
Yesterday was a struggle - I felt real hunger most of the day but I stuck to it and felt pleased with myself that I did day one. Woke up this morning feeling like i'd not eaten for a month but after oatmeal breakfast I felt fine, and that lasted right through until lunchtime when I had a lovely soup. Spaghetti for dinner and loads of drinks of black decaff coffee, black decaff green tea and water and i'm actually lovin it! Or is that euphoria that i'm feeling because i'm not having the thousands of calories that i'd gotten used to having each day during my binging period?
Would love to know what other newbies are feeling and how their finding it.
