Force Feeding!

[garwil]

I'm on Day 11 of induction and for the past couple of days I've been really having to force myself to eat. I'm still eating enough but I've gone past the stage of not feeling hungry all the time (which was great), and now just feel full all the time. I'm getting plenty of natural fibre and I'm not constipated, so I don't think its that.

I don't mind too much but sometimes I have to remind myself that I last ate 6 hours ago and really should eat a proper meal. I am drinking lots of water (pints at a time) because I feel so thirsty all the time, so maybe that's contributing to the feeling of fullness?

Does anyone else get this? Will it pass?

Re: Force Feeding!

Absolutely! I was suffering from this very thing a few days ago and the best thing to do is eat small things often. Like a boiled egg for breakfast a stick of string cheese for snack etc. Since I am now on OWL I have found it difficult to get in the additional veggies so I've learned to eat the veggies first because I'll end up filling up on the meat if I eat it first. Also, try to eat before you drink your water as the water helps us feel full.

And YES, it will pass, but not completely, atkins will bring on a touch of appetite suppressing.
