I am new to the Ideal Protein diet and started it last week. Today is day 5 for me and boy am I happy that the first three days have passed. Those were hours spent starving, weak, and I could not seem to focus on what I was doing during the day. Yesterday, day 4, was a lot easier as far as the hunger goes. Today, day 5, I do not feel hungry unless it is getting close to time for a meal or my snack.
About me...I am a wife, mom and grandmother, live in South Louisiana (cajun country) and yes I eat crawfish and love them! I also do not live far from where all of the Mardi Gras parades are in New Orleans. Yes, we love to eat and have fun. The loving to eat helped me get here although I do know that I use food for comfort, too.
I began my diet at 175 lbs and I would really like to get down to 145-148 lbs.
I have read so many inspiring stories and I love reading about them. Looking forward to making some buddies on here.
