Hi October,
wishing you well on your Monday start. Try and cut down your carbs in the next 2 days as it may be easier for you to adjust. Everyones first weeks are different, I am on week 3 and have had no cravings or hunger pangs to date, so you may not either. Very true about water, start with 2 litres and try to build up to 4, it does help. Take it easy for the first week and stay close to a toilet, all that water has to come out sometime. Don't look at this diet as a means to an end try to see it as giving you freedom from having to make decisions about what to eat each day and freedom from sugar and fat. Hopefully you will take to it very well and soon you will be on here offering your experience. Best of luck.
