Hungry!!!!!!!

[glitzybug]

Hi Guys,
Getting married in July.....want to look fab in my dress so started LT yesterday. Starving and feel like crap. How long does it take for the hunger to subside? Feeling really nervous about doing this diet, so many bad side affects. Cant afford to be feeling like crap with 2 kids to look after. Know it will be worth it when skinny (lost 5 stone 18 mths ago thru healthy eating and exercise only to put it all on again), so know how it feels to be slim and confident. So annoyed with myself for putting it on again, anyway I've read alot of ye're stories and know there is hope for me yet :break_diet:

You will feel the hunger for the first 3-4 days, till you get into ketosis. I find the best thing to do is to drink more water, have a tea or coffee, and get out of the house. The hunger won't last forever, just keep picturing yourself in the summer with the eight gone! Good Luck!

Good luck and well done for starting your diet, althought this is the Cambridge forum you might want to move your post to the LT forum

hi glitzybug, i think i was hungry for around 3 days. if you drink a glass of water when you fill hungry it should do the job. and if you read old posts i think water seems to help the weight come off even quicker Good luck with your journey. Helen x

agree with everyone else - the hunger only lasts a couple of days but if you drink lots of water then it really helps - I was worried when i 1st started cos i work fulltime and have 3 kids to look after and my husband works shifts so often i work a full day then have to come home and sort the kids out myself - but i have to say i honestly have more energy now than i ever had and don't feel sluggish anymore. Just stick with it for a couple of days - it really is worth it.
