Instead of thinking about LIFE, just concentrate on the next hour, the next meal, the next snack, the next day. Before you know it, it's a way of life.

And you say you're on day 3?? DDT! Dreaded Day Three

This is about the time when you are switching from using glucose as your primary source of energy to using fat. Those carbs you were stuffing down...was your body telling you that it doesn't like this new transition of using fat because crappy carbs are so much easier to utilize.

The trick???!!!

There is no trick I'm sorry to say. You just have to power thru day 3-5. Once you hit around day 6-7 most cravings are gone. By the time you hit 14 days, you have the worst under your belt.

You just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Progress not perfection.
