Really struggling now!!!

I'm at the same stage as you, I can't believe how quickly the side affects became apparent. You would think you could easily go a few days without food, but the headaches and that feeling of wanting to vomit are awful. I just slept most of yesterday, and ended up having a double espresso to perk me up for going out to run some errands in the evening (is Espresso allowed?).
I already feel like I want to vomit thinking of that powder.... But once I've made the shake I'm ok.

Well done Natalie, Day 4 today. This was the toughest time for me but I promise you if you stick with it it does get a lot easier. Keep drinking the water remember you're also allowed sparkling which I found helped when I was feeling really hungry. You're half way through your first week now, you can do it! Best wishes.

I'm not a coffee drinker but the only hot drinks you're allowed are black leaf tea (no added fruit or flower stuff) and black coffee. So if expresso is something other than a plain simple black coffee then you're not allowed...........sorry!!!
Just hang on and get to your first weigh in. That will totally boost your motivation and it does get easier after the 1st week. Keep yourself busy with non-food related activities. Good luck.

Hi Nataliej,
I'm on day 4...felt sick yesterday but i think that was because i over did it on the coffee and didnt manage to drink enough water during the day on Tues...wow had a terrible headache and fuzzy head on me.
Today feeling lot more human....drinking peppermint tea and cut way back on the coffees. But really noticing all the times I used to eat during the day before...is a real surprise to me.
Knew that night times were my worst times for snacking (or I guess bingeing would be a better and closer of how i ate at night!!) but to I noticed how I eat unknow to myself during the day....nibbling and picking on things all day long! Only because I can't do it now that I realise how much I must have been eating unknown to myself all along...lol no wonder i got to this size!!
Hope you're feeling better soon. I'm still not in ketosis...both dreading it and looking forward to it...know really weight loss will kick in then

Hi nataliej, I bought the ketostix as I wanted to know for sure I was in ketosis.(Got a bit of an obsession ,checking I was still in ketosis,but thankfully over that now!!) I am on day 12 now,and it really does get easier as the days go by.I just keep telling myself its really only for a short time out of a life time and it will be worth it. :brushing teeth:

Im on here at the moment doing my best to try and get myself in a more positive mood about the diet but my goodness it's hard work.
I've got another 4/5 weeks to go I think- need to lose another stone then I'm refeeding... it's just boring now
