Dear BonJoviFan,

In my opinion you are doing OK. I drank coffee and diet pop and ate sugar free jello during induction and still lost loads of weight. Other people will tell you different but in the end it's up to you.

You don't mention fish in your posting. Also keep the amount of salad stuff and veggies high.

Persevere with the water. Try putting a twist of lemon in it and some ice - it makes it taste like something!

In time the carvings will go away. Note that your TOM will make you hold onto water so don't expect to lose weight then.

Good luck. I'm sure you will succeed and then you will be healthier not to mention thinner.

Robert
