Hello Tikerberi. I'm sorry I dont know much about metabolife. Most of the places looked for information are no longer carying it (they did not explain why). A search on this forum relvealed a few threads you might want to look at. http://forum.lowcarber.org/search.p...rder=descending

Many of our members use L-Glutamine for cravings and it seems to work. http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...ight=lglutamine

Don't worry about the ketone strips. Many people never show even a trace and still lose weight. There's a great article by Doreen under "Low Carb Tips" about Ketones and Ketone Test Strips you should take a look at to alay any questions.

Eating steak and chicken and craving it isnt unusual. Be sure you're eating enough fat though. The fat is what fills you up and helps you to not feel hungry. You should be getting your fat from things like nuts, seed, olive oil, flax oil, olives and avocados.

You might want to start a journal in the 'journals/bootcamp' section of the forum so we can see what you've been eating. It would help us to give you more advice.

Cheers,
Nat
