    Those Southwestern Cheese Curls have been great for my need to crunch. My coach also allows me to have as many hard boiled egg whites if I want something extra.

    Hang in there!
    What are Southwestern Cheese Curls? I need to get those!!!! I have been hungry, my cravings were out of control but i seem to have those a little more under control in the last two days. I started back at the gym yesterday, and i am feeling more hungry. I drink decaf flavored coffee or green tea and it also seems to help.....

I sing the little jingle from Nemo, "just keep swimming" - hehe, I feel like its a mind over matter thing.
    Ahhh i love that...i too am drinking a ton of water. I dont know how we couldn't be in ketosis...not alot of carbs...

    They are a restricted item, but the beauty of the contents of this silver packet is that they CRUNCH and there are a decent amount of them!

    I checked, and it seems they are out of stock at many providers. My coach said that everyone seems to love them and IP will be making them a regular item. Check with your coach...

    Why have several of you mentioned not being able to eat fresh fruit? What diet are you on where you can't have fruit? Is there something I'm missing?
