Hi Sonkie, I am still going strong (for the moment). Another 8 pounds lost last week. Woo Woo. I think that because I just ate and ate before starting this diet, I keep remembering that over full feeling over Christmas, and this makes me more determined to keep away from food.
It is really only my head that is saying I need to eat. I have not really felt hungry since day 4 or 5.
I hope to avoid food for another 3 weeks, and then drop down to 2 packs a day, and a piece of chicken for lunch (approx chicken nugget size). This does not sound a lot, but when you have not eaten anything this year I am looking forward to it.
If eating just chicken and the 2 packs keeps me in ketosis and I am still losing weight I will keep on for another couple of weeks. Should be down to 13 stone then, and ALL I have to do is keep it off this time.
If you can avoid the nibbles it does become easier. I only have to feed me and the dog though, so the only temptation in the house for me is a couple of tins of pedegree chum and a dozen squeeky toys. It must be loads harder to keep on the straight and narrow if you have to prepare food for anyone who doesn't bark.
All the best
Gray.
