Well it's 4 days into the program, and all is well.
So far I have rarely felt any hunger. I have a few cravings for food. It is hard opening up the fridge or cupboard and seeing some of my favourite foods. So far I've been able to shut the door and get away without cheating.
We had a bunch of friends over the other night - Sue asked what I thought about the idea and I said 'go'. I have decided that I need to keep life rolling along all 'normal' like. It was pretty hard having all my favourite snacks floating around, but I sipped on a shake through the whole evening. It was actually kind of empowering to realize that I didn't have to partake.
I haven't been noticing many side effects. A little bit of low grade headache from time to time; a little buzz - like a little too much coffee - on occasion; the odd hunger pang or food craving. Oh, and lots of peeing - every time I turn around. I have noticed that I don't have the physical stamina or endurance when it comes to hard physical exertion. I suppose it's due to the seriously reduced calorie intake, and why they warn you not to engage in strenuous exercise. I guess I should take the advise.
Seems like I've got close to the right dosage of Metamucil - so that's good.
The scale has been showing weights that I haven't seen in nearly 30 years. I'm guessing that the rapid weight loss won't sustain throughout the full 3 months, but I'll take it while I can.
