Help! I am so hungry...

[Stargirl]

I am on the third day and so far I ate this today.

- Omlett (1 egg) with 1 filet of salmon fried in butter. 1 cup Ruccola with it.
- 3 thin slices red meat with bacon wrapt in it & 2 tsp onions fried in butter, 4 tbsp heavy cream on it and 1 cup broccoli.

It was delicious BUT I am still so hungry... Feel like I could eat it one more time What can I do? May I eat it one more time if I take away the broccoli and the onions? What about the amount of cream? I feel like I am missing the carbs (like noodles or potatos) that my family had with it, as they fill your stomach so well... I am not really craving it in a way that my bloodsocker is low, it is more this empty feeling in my stomach!

Pls help, I am so new on this and don't want to fall of the wagon.

Thanx a lot.

If you are hungry EAT!!! Just make sure you eat legal foods. In a few weeks your body will adjust to this new WOE and you'll find you have to force yourself to eat.

Its hard but hang in there, I found day 4 my hardest and was soooo hungry I found I didnt have enough fat in ny diet so ate a big steak and that helped allot and now Im on day 10 and have not been hungry since.

Im new at this so sorry no help with actual food ideas or if you can eat more. So I will leave that to people that know more. I just wanted to say hang in there and give you some suport.

Have another omelet and a huge glass of cold water.

Thanx for the support! I had some cheese as a snack but I guess I will try it with an omlett as suggested.

I do have an Atkins bar at home, in case I am getting in trouble. Even if it is not supposed to be eaten at phase one, it would be better than having something else, wouldn't it? And I have to admit that I am running around it like a cat at the moment. But I won't eat it, I won't cheat!

If you can do it, I can do it! Now my omlett is waiting...

Don't eat the bar! It's got so much junk in it!

Eat some more eggs, eat some veggies and dip, eat some pepperoni, eat anything legal. If you are hungry, eat something high-fat.

Stargirl, I have always found meat very filling. Have a nice big steak, or big piece of fish. Chicken! pork chops!
Don't let yourself get hungry, not during induction. Now is the time to get rid of sugar/carb cravings and detox, not worry so much about how much you are eating, although you won't want to gorge yourself.
Steak is so easy to cook, I ate a lot of it during induction.

Have you thought about just putting more in your omelet? I think probably one of the worst things ever when you are revenous is a wimpy omelet, which is why I order them "double everything" (albeit with no meat because I might have bacon or sausage on the side).

Keep us updated, doll!

I'm having the very same issue! I read that you should eat when your hungry, so I made up a mess of boiled eggs, some tuna salad and chicken salad with only mayo, a bit of onion, boiled egg, and some pickle relish that's no carb. I've been grazing like a big ol' COW . I love it, I can still feel my belly drawing smaller, and I've lost three pounds since last thursday WOOHOO....Go ahead and EAT my induction brothers and sisters...if it's approved for induction....as dear old Al Yankovic will tell ya JUST EAT IT ...LOL. i only eat till I'm satisfied, but if I'm hungry again in 20 miutes...then I munch just a tad more. HMMMM.....a steak sure sounds tasty right now......Be back in a little bit....LOL


by the WAY....the Mock Danish is AWESOME!!!!


Peace All

Definitely eat if you're hungry! But... make sure it's real hunger, not just a yen. If you do that and keep your carbs down, you'll be fine.
