Hi there Mapenzi, Dont give up now, girl....I very nearly did on my day 6 and when I got weighed next evening at the Pharmacie I'd lost 9.5 lbs. I never dreamed the hunger pangs would go, but for the most part, they really have! This diet helps to stop the addiction to food.....then your stomach must shrink, somewhat. When you reach your goal, hopefully, when you introduce real food back into your life again, a small plate of steamed fish and veg will look positively delish !!!!! Well, thats what I'm hoping to get out of it anyway. Hope that helps.
