Hi there, I'm new to this forum too! I actually signed up here last year but I only seriously started this diet just over a week ago. My advice - just don't break it!! No it sounds obvious, but I'm on my ninth day today and yesterday I broke it. Can you believe it?! I was so on a roll past ketosis and seriously starting to burn it off, and just like that - it goes. If I could go back in time I would just walk out the room and go do something else. The disappointment afterwards is unbelievable, and honestly? It made me feel sick. It wasn't satisfying at all. Once you get into the sixth day I find, after ketosis has a chance to kick in you will immediately start to notice the difference. What happens is that the weight that last went on will come off first - my stomach is already slimming down, honestly!
I find ice cubes helpful, yeah! Especially now because it's summer - although huh, it's not really warm like it. But oh well.
...But what we need to remind ourselves is that once we get down to our weight, honestly? Pizza can't even come in to it. Chips, chocolate, crisps, whatever was your food love before cannot become it again. Because if you keep in mindset the food you ate before, I ate before, everyone ate before, the weight will simply come back on again. This isn't just a diet, it's a life change for me. I never ever want to reach obesity ever ever again. I want to live a healthy, light and happy life and the only way to do that is to chance our food and more importantly our mindset to food. What do you think?
