I'm on day 3 of my vlcd and feel really really bad. I don't think i could have done this if i had to go out to work or had a hectic life. I'm told things improve after the first week and i surely hope so, it's the only reason i'm hanging on. I have stuck religiously to the plan but i'll be totally honest, i feel like i'm dying and am spending quite a few hours in bed during the day. I know i'm being a bit melodramatic, i've been here and felt this way before, but it just really hard. I've taken to religiously checking my ketones every few hours to see if i got into ketosis yet (and so have an end to the hunger suffering in sight).. i think earlier i saw traces of ketones starting to appear but i could be fooling myself and if they are there it is barely registering at all.
Anyway, the point of that rant is... i know how you feel... keep plugging away. Try not to cheat, although it feels like a great relief at the time i think it makes it harder cos you don't get into ketosis so fast and have to suffer for longer.
