Hi JD, yup...I was into my 2nd week when the hunger pangs finally went. I was close to crying a couple of times...but I did NOT cave in and I am supremely happy I didn't as I have now maintained (and still lost a bit) for over 3 weeks now. Food is no longer my comfort or my enemy. Being on LT has changed my tastes, from carb/sweet/fatty foods to healthy low-fat, no sugar foods, which I now enjoy very much, in small portions, only when I am hungry....and I keep up my water intake, my favourite drink!!!!
