Appetite Back after 8 days is this normal

[allykitten]

Hi I wonder if anyone else has experienced the same as me and if this is normal or not.
On the first week of induction I followed the recipes out of the atkins induction and had no appetite at all and had to force myself to eat. However in the second week my appetite is back although I am not hungry I could quite easily have a cake or piece of choc (now on day 15) I made up my on recipes myself on week 2 sticking to the 20 carbs a day and around 12 of them on veg and salad. I am using fitday and am trying to get the 5% carbs 30% protein and 65% fat and around 1700 cals a day. For my lunch i add a tablespoon of mayo to add extra fat and in the evening cook my veg in olive oil and put a teaspoon of butter on them. I eat around 6 oz of meat at each meal and have been in ketosis ever since day 3. I don't have the appetite suppressant as i did in week one is this normal? I lost 3lb the first week and 0 on my last weigh in.

Would be grateful for any advice. Thanks ally

I lost all appetite until ToM came around. It was tough too...because it was the week before and the week of. Nothing like fighting sabotage 50% of the month. You just have to be prepared. Have legal options with you at all times. String cheese, pepperoni, deviled eggs, cucumber slices, celery sticks. I wag all of that around except the deviled eggs, in my purse. No excuse for being hungry ever with all those options at your disposal.

ToM is time of the month...and I assumed you're female because of your name, Allykitten. I was hoping I was right. I looked in your signature but gender wasn't there. I think it's normal to have an appetite again...as long as it's not cravings. Are you drinking enough water? If I'm feeling a crazy appetite, it's usually because I'm not getting enough water for the day. I strive for 100 ounces. Trust me, I'm sitting here now forcing it.

In your other thread you are saying you drink coffee with splenda. Coffee makes me have an appetite like crazy and that much splenda is not going to help the case either. So cut those two down and see what happens.

Thank you both I think I will give up the splenda pills for a week and see how that goes. The coffee I drink is decaf do you still think that might be the cause of my increased appetite? Sorry Yes I am female and now I get it thought TOM was an atkins abbrev lol now I know. Thank you.

Decaf or regular makes not difference with me.

Re: Appetite Back after 8 days is this normal

allykitten, there were a few days after I finished induction that I had a raging appetite. So I binged... but only on legal foods so I didn't destroy my progress.

I haven't had another day like that since then, but it sure took me by surprise!

Dr. Atkins says if you are hungry, EAT! Whatever is causing the raging appetite will probably pass.
