Hello Jeanne,
I am on day 7 of phase 1 and so far it is working great for me (knock on wood). I had a very hard time losing weight lately and what little I lost I always gained back quickly and then some. I am following the diet closely and taking the drops. The first 2-3 days were hard: I didn’t have cravings, but I did have a stubborn headache. But it got easier every day, and by Day 4 I had no problems. I don’t really feel hungry much except if there is more than 3 hours between meals. I also get really tired if I wait too long for dinner, but I used to have that when I was overeating too. Drinking enough water and getting around 8 hours of sleep makes a huge difference – I started losing when I got those in order. I made chicken vegetable soup using the vegetable broth the book mentions. Eating that for dinner works great, it keeps me full for 2 hours, so I don’t go to bed starving. So far, I lost 4.6 pounds which on any other diet would have taken me a month. I think this stuff really works. Make sure you plan out your meals and measure everything. The stuff is surprisingly good – plain Greek yogurt tastes like sour cream 🙂 And don’t get discouraged if you don’t lose weight the first couple of days. The pounds will start dropping if you stay consistent. The Facebook group is great – you will get answers to your questions very quickly and a lot of support.
Welcome and best of luck,
Fruzsi
