moment of weakness

[ariesgurl]

OMG I am having a complete moment of weakness. I feel like eating anything and everything right now. What I wouldnt do for some fettucini alfredo, pizza, burgers WITH the bun and some good decent rich fattening desert...this is my first time during my induction that i have felt this way...why???? am i out of ketosis is that why the cravings have come back with a vengence? wish me luck guys. I am going to try my best to hold my cravings at bay but right about now on a scale of 1 to 10 I am at a 1 for will power

Have any of you had a cheat during induction and still continued to lose weight? or did it mess you up for good?

Re: moment of weakness

Eat something fatty. don't worry about the calories. But the fats will satiate you. Try not to eat a sweet fatty thing, as it will still feed your sweet tooth that you want to get rid of. Have some whipped cream or a couple tablespoons of cream cheese or a deviled egg. These are quick fives that tend to ease the cravings. Hang in there.

Re: moment of weakness

I agree. Eat something fatty. It should help.
If you do cave in, it will mess induction up completely!
If I cheat, it takes me three weeks to lose the gained weight and start losing again... it's not worth it!
What do you want more? The food or the weight loss?

Re: moment of weakness

well Im glad to say that I didnt break! yippee..it was tough but i decided to eat some SF jello instead and that worked. I felt much better after and stopped obsessing over food. A little after the jello I had a veggie omlette..I survived another day, thank god! Day 11 of induction tomorrow! thanks for the suggestions guys...

Re: moment of weakness

YAY!! Well done!!
I find decaf coffee with 1t splenda and double cream usually knocks out any cravings too (or sf jelly)

Re: moment of weakness

When you're craving something sweet, eat a dill pickle. For some reason the brain can't tell the difference between sweet and sour and this fix actually works!! I doubted it in the beginning and then I tried it! Make sure you read the ingredients list on the pickle jar though! Some have added sugar!

That is really interesting as I have found myself craving dill pickles in the past (no, I'm not pregnant again) maybe my body has realised it gets a similar hit from it?!

Re: moment of weakness

im happy you didnt give in to your cravings! You cant have sf jello either but that is the lesser of all the evils you were wanting.

I find eating a little something and going for a walk reminds me of how good i'm feeling and then the cravings pass

good job!

Re: moment of weakness

i had the same problem and I still do but chicken broth (no sugar added) and some good multivitamins should do the trick. also water helps.

I hope this helps, but you are not alone in this. I have done induction before and its even harder second time around but the fact that it gets better after the first month is a good news and that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Re: moment of weakness

the SF jello that I have is sweetened with sucralose not aspartame so I think it would be ok to eat, no? Im feeling week today too as the days go by im feeling weaker and weaker, this was easy in the beginning. I hope I can stick with it and really make a lifestyle change1

If it does not stall you, then it's okay to have it. Make sure you count it towards your sweetener allotment though -- you're allowed maximum three servings per day.

Are you taking a multivitamin? A B complex or B12 tablets will also help with fatigue.

Re: moment of weakness

so far the SF jello has not stalled me..Im glad as that is my savior on some days. I do take a multivitamin couple times a week or should I be taking it everyday?

Re: moment of weakness

The type I get is Hunt's juicy gels and it may only be available in canada. I found it in Walmart, so check your local Walmart they might have it.

All the ones I know have to be taken daily. This should be written on the label though. On mine it says:

SUGGESTED USE: For best results, take one tablet daily with a meal.
