Gosh I ate like a pig the first few days. I blew my husband away by the amount of eggs I had day one. I think it was 7. Even now after 5 weeks I still munch constantly. My husband keeps saying Are you sure you can eat like that? I guess he remembers the starvation diets I have been on in the past. I woke up this morning and have lost another pound! This diet is so realistic... enjoy!
