Day 1 and worried i've gone wrong already

[aimingfor135]

Please help, it's only 5:44pm and i was hungry so i ate dinner already!

Breakfast: 2 scrambled duck eggs (scrambled in butter)

Lunch: half a roast chicken

Snack: 20 olives

Dinner: (this is the problem, i was so hungry i couldn't wait so i ate dinner half an hour ago) A pound of squid fried in butter and garlic. I ate all the butter leftover in the frying pan too.

What should i do when i get hungry tonight? I have some cheese and some lettuce. I just feel like i'm consuming too many calories and I'm going to put on weight.

Re: Day 1 and worried i've gone wrong already

It is normal to be hungry the first couple of days. The body is looking for carbs and sending out "fake" signals - just keep eating it will not hurt you. Around day 3 you will turn to ketosis (fat burning) and things will go well.

But you are not following the RULES. You are supposed to eat 3 cups of veggies every day. Where did your veggies go?

And drink plenty of water - no artificial sugars -just water.

Thanks. Thanks for reminding me about the veggies, I forgot to include them in the meals earlier.

You should also try to spread your veggies out among all of your meals. Eating them all at once can cause a blood-sugar spike & cravings I ate a lot more the first few days than I did the rest of induction...do as the good Dr. said: eat when you are hungry & stop eating when you aren't hungry anymore, even if there is still food on your plate.
