4th day in..

Well thats me 4 days in now. My tummies still rumbling to high heaven and its so loud! *cringes*. Also so damn cold and when its diping into minus figures outside thats not good. Another question now too... was wondering how many days youd been on the diet before you gott he urge to go for the other? I last went Saturday so not too worried yet just curious.

Oh, not going for that long is not good. Are you drinking all your water? Did you get any of the water flavourings? I think you should get something to help you go -- a lot of the ladies on this link talk about something call Movical? I think you can ask your pharmacist. Contact your counsellor for advice, too.

P.S. You should be in ketosis and not feeling physically hungry by now. Do you have some ketostix to check that you are? Also, drinking tea, flavoured water might help with the hunger, too.

I have issue's with "THE OTHER" one week i went a whole week without last week i went everyday but had TOTM looming i am all over the place at the moment but haven't had to resort to any meds yet.

Keep going if you are so cold you are more than likely in ketosis and that just means burn baby burn xxx

I'm not worrying just yet anyways. It's normal for me to go a couple of days between. I dont think ill be able to drink much more water just now, already doing over 4 litres daily which is enough especially with me being so cold. Not hungry today finally.

I must admit I usually resort to laxatives, or try psyllium husks. But I can quite often go 2 or 3 days. One of the more annoying sides of the diet.

Hi LLV,

Congrats -- sounds as if you are in Ketosis! Yeah! As JimmyShoo said, "Burn, baby, burn!" (fat, that is!)

I can go for days with out needing 'the other', its not a prob, just get used to it really! theres no food going in so less need for waste i guess! i do find when i have a ss+ day that helps though. I have a few ss+ days a week, its something to look forward to and keeps the digestion going! works for me and is more enjoyable than laxatives!
