I'm still hungry

[Tami]

I posted this on the induction thread but maybe it's better here since this isn't my first time...maybe 50th


When will the appetite supression kick in?? I'm drinking plenty of water and legal foods. But I sure do miss when I "forgot to eat"

Yeah, totally. How long have you been on induction?? It takes me about a week until my cravings go away. Do the best you can, stay on legal foods and drink a lot of water. IT WILL GET BETTER!!

Make sure you're eating enough fat with meals--it's the fat that gives you that "satisfied" feeling. Check your percentages in fitday--they should be 65% fat, 5% carbs, and 30% protein.

Also, sometimes our thirst is mistaken for hunger. Try drinking a glass of water, and wait 20 minutes. If you're still hungry, then eat.

This is day 3 for me...thanks. I think it might take longer than the first time.

Tami, maybe you should post a menu in our 'review my menu' forum, there may be something causing cravings as well? Personally when in ketosis though it also takes me at least a week. I don't think there's anything to worry about. just remember if you are hungry eat..just make sure it's hunger and not thirst. try drinking your water first.
