I am on day 3 and I am still starving. This have never happen to me before on any other low carb diet. I want to be thin but I can't freakin take it

The first week is the absolute worst! I had headaches,muscle cramping,in alot of my muscles where I would keel over,dizziness, vomiting, you name it if it was unpleasant I had it.
Thank goodness I was off work when I started it..cuz my brain was not firing on all cylinders! I napped quiet a bit.
Oh yes I was always freezing too!
As time went on the majority of my symptoms went away..
I was also going cold turkey from being a major Regular Coke drinker too soo that added to everything.
Make sure you drink your water and take your supplements as prescribed.
I also take B12, VitaminD,Omega.
Give your body a chance to adjust.. I felt like Road Kill the 1ST week and it passed.
Good Luck, it will get better,Roo2

I heard day 3 & 4 were the worst for a friend of mine, buts he got through it and by day 5 she was feeling better.

GOOD LUCK! Are you eating an extra packet? I know most say to do that if you are so hungry.

I was super rough week 1 almost bed ridden whole time ate almost a head of lettuce and 5 l of water a day - by day 6 I was so much better now I just get my reg Tom cramps and such

You hear everyone tell you the first week is the worst so stick it out and see how you feel next week. The food cravings WILL go away but the "mental stuff" is what we have to work through. Here's the the thing: "If you think you CAN or you think you CAN'T -- either way you're right"

Some of us -- like me -- have a "can-can man" in their signature. Mine is kicking my butt right now, because I'm struggling to stay OP too. It's a struggle. But I'm sticking with it. And one day, those can-can guys will be MY sleek legs, slim 'n sexy, dancin' for joy.

Day three was the worst for me too. I wanted to knaw on my arm. My coach told me to have an extra packet. That actually worked quite well for me.

Good luck it does get better

I LOVE this quote...might just have to print it out and post it somewhere--like on the fridge or on the door of the cabinet that contains Oreos and Pringles!

Keep your chin up! You can do this! I felt like crap until day 5, then it got much better. Trust me, it's worth it. I have loads of health problems from bad genetics, but on this diet I feel a million times better! Here is some:

Ok, tough love time: Suck it up. It's a short-term discomfort for long-term benefit.

This is for HIM

This is for YOU

You can do this. And if you find your hubby is NOT being supportive, it's probably because HE is insecure about it all. Just remind him, if he helps you out, he'll be gettin' a sexy thin wife with lots of energy... nudge nudge, wink wink.... He may just chuck that pizza out and join you

We're starting at close to the same weight and height, we can be IP buddies. I stay on plan by looking at the clothes I will be able to wear this summer and thinking about how much cuter I will be etc. I'm vain. LOL

I'm on day 3, too. I have been fantasizing about food all day. Went shopping in another city and drove by all the "fast food places" and actually had to call my DD for a pep talk to NOT stop into a taco place. I chugged some water at that point and got the heck outta dodge. I was playing mind games with myself and had to remove from the situation.

We can do this together. My mantra has been "the first week is the hardest" and the other one that I told myself the day I started was "failure is not an option. :-)
