Hi..Don't be discouraged. I too am a newbie. I have lost 10pds in 8 days. Stay under 21Carbs per day and feeling great. In fact the cravings for sweets are gone. "But" if i do want something sweet, i bought a can of Rediwhip Extra Creamey whip cream. Take a few shots of it and whamo I'm satisfied. I know that you have to keep the Calories up so you can burn the fat..if too low you could lose muscle. Why dont you stop for a few days...eat properly and see if you can reset your body clock. Then start again induction with a higher # of Cal. and under 21 Carbs per day. Drink water and exercise if you can.
THE MAIN THING IS DONT GIVE UP HOPE. THIS LC DOES WORK. BUT EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT BODY CHEMISTRY SO YOU MAY HAVE TO BE PATIENT AND TRY DIFFERENT LEVELS TILL YOU ARE SATISFIED.
