Day 1 (Part 2)

Oh my goodness. I've managed to stick to the diet but it is really difficult.  I've felt so hungry and my stomach is rumbling.  Regardless of calories I want something to fill me up and these shakes do not do it.  They say that in a few days my body will go into ketosis and I won't feel hungry anymore.  I can't wait.

My energy levels are really low.  I feel like a video game - I have a shake which gives me some energy and then it slowly peters out until I feel like I can barely lift my arms.  Then I have another shake and come back to life again.  I've been waiting until I feel like I can't move before I have another shake.  I can only have four a day so I need to space them out to get me through.

One thing I've noticed already is how often I want to nibble.  I cooked breakfast for everyone this morning - bacon, eggs, beans and toast.  If I had been eating too I probably would've had a fried egg, a slice of toast and some beans on my plate but would've eaten bits of bacon and toast on top while I was cooking.  I kept catching myself reaching out to break off a crust or pick up some bacon.  I'm learning about my habits already and it's just day one.
