I'm so happy that I got through that first week, I know I can do the next with full confidence now. I'm planning on going for one more week (3 weeks total on Induction phase), that way I'll be (hopefully) 12 lbs from my goal. Then I'll go to the next phase.
I was having massive cravings for Starbucks coffees, which is weird since I hardly ever went there before. Then it was hard to walk through a candy area in a store, something I never had a problem with. I used to have one Lynd dark chocolate a night when I was on my Low Cal diet. So that was enough to satisfy that craving. Thankgoodness, I didn't give in.
In my first week, I lost 7 lbs.
I totally eliminated sugars, including substitute sugars as well. I'm choosing to only eat fruits to satisfy that sweet tooth....of course when I get to OWL. For now, I drink chai tea (lipton tea bags) with heavy whipping cream.
Now I'm not sure on what to do about the chocolate cravings. grrrr!
