Jane, please don't give up on SBD! There are so many factors that affect how much you lose and how fast...but the bottom line is you are eating healthier and that HAS to be a positive thing!
Maybe you need to "tweak" your daily menus? You might not be getting enough food. If your body feels starved it becomes very, very territorial with those fat cells and just won't give up an ounce! Or maybe there are better choices you could be making from the acceptable foods list...we all have to find out what works best for US. Exercise is another important aspect to weight loss for most people. Studies have shown that people who incorporate activity into their routines when they are trying to lose weight lose more, lose faster, stick with a WOE for much longer, and keep the weight off easier! Hard to argue with those kinds of statistics!
Ten days isn't really long enough to see major changes in your body composition, either. Most people seem to lose a lot of water weight in the first few days, but not everyone does. It takes a few weeks to really start reaping the benefits of this program.
I, like Ellis & Lizziepie, had a lot of heartburn, but haven't had any at all! I sleep better, have more energy, my skin is clearer and my hair is shinier. And those are just the change I can SEE!
Please try and hang in there! Come here often for advice and support...it can make all the difference in the world!
anyone else with little success?
