Hi tracilynn!

You know this works... and you have seen the results. You don't need the negative jabs of those who don't know... so don't even listen to it!

As far as practical help. You must make sure you are getting enough fat in your diet to satisfy your hunger. That will really help cut the carb cravings. The other thing to remember, is you are suppose to feel like crap the first few days (weeks?) into induction. Your body is going through metabolic change. Ride with it, and keep telling yourself that it is your body coming back to life that is making you feel lousy! But, that is a good thing. Like if you are sore from working out.

I have been were you are. I am a sugar junkie supreme, and have had to fight with that a lot. But, this WOE is where it is at for your health. It is what your body is meant to eat. So, once you get through the withdrawals, you will begin to feel fantastic! That is the reward for doing it.

Hang in there and just keep reading this forum. There is much strength to be found here.

Good Luck to ya! And keep the faith.
