  Hi
  I’ve been on the diet for 10 days and have noticed an appreciable decrease in my appetite. For the last 4 days I’ve struggled to hit 800 cals a day as I’m just not hungry and leaving food on my plate. Yesterday I only ate dinner. I’m drinking plenty of fluid. I’m also on the maximum Metformin dose, 2g daily, could this be causing it? Also exercise is difficult as I have polyneuropathy although have increased my daily walking regime. I’m feeling great by the way so not complaining. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

  I started with the shakes on 3 January and decided to try the shepherd’s pie with cauliflower mash the other night just for a change. I had a few sprouts with it.

  I was absolutely stuffed and could barely move!

  Your tum must shrink or adjust to the amount you put in it- so if you don’t eat much, if doesn’t take much to feel full!

  It’s day four for me and I am not hungry most of the time, the only time I have been was when I used a Covent Garden soup for quickness at lunchtime today and now can’t wait for my chicken curry with cauliflower rice.

  I have only done 3 days so far and am still feeling hunger pangs, but am absolutely determined to stick with it.

  I too have not felt hungry and am surviving quite happily on around 800 calories. I never thought I would but it’s obviously the type of food we are eating. Like Hedds when I just have soup for lunch I get hungry for my evening meal. I used to snack a lot in the evening but I don’t even think about eating after my evening meal now. I do drink a lot more fluids though as I find myself more thirsty.

  I had three or four bad food days, then renewed commitment to the diet yesterday. I’m so hungry all over again! I’d got past the hunger stage but now I have to suffer again. My own fault!

  I am struggling to eat my 800 cals, it’s day 9 for me. Yesterday I only managed 600, I am also quite thirsty having around three litres of fluid per day. I tend during the week to have a late breakfast around 10.30 then often I’m skipping lunch. I then have a handful of nuts around 3 and supper between 6 and 7. Last Sunday I did not eat till 2 and was not hungry. My hubby who is also following the diet is constantly hungry.
  Keep up the good work everyone.

  I am on day 3 as well. I still feel hunger pangs.Waiting for it to get better. I suppose it takes a bit of time for the stomach to shrink…
