Second day

[Danielle C]

Hi everyone, this is my second day on lipotrim and so far I've not had any of the dreaded side effects, headaches or feeling cold (don't want to tempt fate too much though). I was just wondering if it's normal to keep thinking about food? I am not hungry at all and find the shakes and soup quite nice, but I am obsessed with the fact I can't eat! Does this pass because I'm really struggling with wanting to eat all the time. If I know it gets easier that will help because I really want to stick with this after reading so many success stories x

Hi Danielle,

I am in exactly the same position, I'm on my second day and about this time of day I am usually looking forward to nice hot food, but I'm struggling to accept this isn't part of my life for the forseeable future. It must get better, because the people on here sing its praises, but I'm worried at the moment.

Keep strong girl, we have to break through this wall x

I don't think I stopped thinking about food for the last time I did this diet in the 4 weeks that I did it but u just learn to accept, I'm on day 5 today all is going ok I have just cooked my family a lovely tea and now have come on here while they eat

Aw thanks for replying girls. I keep having to tell myself it's not forever but it's hard when my one and two year old have just had pasta for tea and the hubby is going to be tucking into his a bit later. Definitely not going to cheat but this has made me realise how much I actually picked at and grazed throughout the day.

We will get there x ?

Sorry that should have been a smiley face at the end of my message not a ?

I wasn't questioning our willpower x

Keep at it girls, things will get easier. You will eventually cease being hungry but may crave certain foods. Ignore the devil on you shoulder and when you get to that 1st weigh in you will be over the moon.
Be strong

I don't think you ever stop thinking about food especially if you cooking for other family members its a struggle but you do learn to cope and find you own way of coping, think of weigh in and keep going strong you are both doing so well

I get obsessed with food on this diet and sit and read recipes and bake loads of cakes! I usually manage not to eat any of it though.

It will get better - today I had a rubbish day at work and all I wanted was food but I know that it'll be worth it - we'll all be slinky together, looking fab and feeling amazing!! Just think - a tribe of skinny minnies!! Whoooooo! :talk017::talk017:

Its my second day too, actually dont feel that bad tonight, feel very motivated, reading all the blogs on here and looking at the pictures. So looking forward to first weight in.

I must admit I've been struggling tonight to be fair, not wobbled though! I just can't understand why I'm obsessing about food despite the fact I'm not hungry. Definitely getting a lot of inspiration from everyone's replies on here... Just counting down to weighing in day next week! X

I'm the same. I'm on day 5 and for the past couple of days the urge for food has become quite overwhelming at times! But I've noticed it's only when I'm around food. I don't come up with meal ideas in my head at all but when my OH has his nibbles and dinner then I've found myself fixating on his plate!!! Apparently I looked possessed at one point
Although having said all that, these past 2 days have been the only days where's I've felt genuinely hungry, as in tummy-clenching, gnawing hunger. Kinda annoying as I've been completely honest in TRF so really, shouldn't I be in ketosis about now? *grumble* well it doesn't seem to be affecting my determination to not give in, so I'll put up with it.
I'm the same as you patchesmum, food programs and recipe book have always kinda been my porn lol and I'm not having any difficulty watching them, if anything, the urge to turn on master chef and the like has increased!!! Lol, well we're all individual and all that so I guess, whats normal?

That's what's so good about this forum - you know you're not alone!

I'm 3+ weeks in so far this time and am going to do another 3 weeks before refeed.

Swapping to S&S for a week then exante to relieve the boredom though - hope it works!

Keep going girls (and guys) I'm sure it's worth it for all of us!
