Hi everyone
I'm new here and have really appreciated reading all this info from people on the same journey as me - who truly do understand.
Today I'm on Day 5 of LL. The weight is coming off but it has been hard. The nights are the worst as I'm ok whilst out and about during the day, but am so used to spending my evenings snacking in front of the TV.
Day 2 was hard, 3 was ok and then last night - end of Day 4 - I actually made plans to eat today cause I thought if I didn't I'd freak out a bit. I defrosted a piece of salmon to be able to eat if I needed it.
So far this morning I feel ok. But I have some questions if that's ok?
How many folk have eaten during abstinence and managed to keep it under control?
If the need to eat is overwhelming and I stuck to pure protein (fish or chicken on its own) wouldn't that preserve the state of ketosis?
Do you think it would have a huge effect on weight loss?
At the moment, the idea of not eating for a further 95 days is a bit overwhelming. But I have such a huge amount to lose that I need to maximise this time.
Any answers, info or encouragement of the "been there, done that" variety would be greatly appreciated.
