I started the diet on Sunday. So far I like it, but when will the craving go away? I am full when I eat but I still crave cookies and candy - when will it stop? - any suggestions?????

I think I'm on day 11 and I still get the cravings. I'm not sure if they ever go away. My big craving is chocolate. I miss it.

Welcome cect. My cravings were zapped very quickly - I think after the 1st or 2nd day. In fact, I've only had one day that I had to fight cravings prior to Thanksgiving. Right after Thanksgiving, which was a planned day off, I did have my first binge (the 3rd day after) but did a detox day yesterday which took those cravings away. Guess I'm lucky!

Thanks for the replies.
Today is day 5 of detox - I am starting to feel better
I am not thinking about food so much any more - although I find it hard to prepare dinner for my husband and kids - but I manage. I can not wait to have an ice coffee with skim milk and one spenda (my favorite drink ever).
