Hunger Gone Wild?

Let's be honest here--it's not always easy, but it's definitely worth it.  Hang in there....we are almost though the rough part and better days are just around the corner.


Did you really think this past week would be sunshine and rainbows?  Today lets talk about the not-so-prettyside of cleaning up your diet.  And to let you know everything youa're probably going through right now is pretty normal.

It is day 7 and you might not being feeling so bright and shiny yet.  Remember how we said the first 2 weesk might have it's ups and downs? Good news is you are almost over the hump.


Tired...?  Thats normal!  Your body is adjusting to it's new fuel source, not sugars.  Take some catnaps in the early afternoon.  If you need to, take a rest day from the box....and ,no it won't kill you.  Don't worry you will be back stronger than ever in no time!

Cranky or Moody?  That's normal too!  Your brain is throwing a fit because you're not giving it what it thinks it wants.  And the fact that your tired too probably doesn't help either.  Tell your kids and spouse not to worry, your hormones will balance out and you will be normal again.  (I use the term 'normal loosely.  If you were nuts before....sorry we can't help you there! )

Listen To Your Body
Is your stomach (and brain) sending you mixed messages this week? You’re hungry all the time! You’re never hungry at all! You’re dying for sweets after dinner, even though you’re still full from your meal! These are all normal and expected.
I know I have thought about diet pepsi.  I can even imagine how good it would taste, the bubbles going down my throat and  a caffine surge to boot!  But then I realize I'm still full from my last meal and I'm not really hungy at all. PHEW!...I just avoided a pitfall.

This week was really good for me.  I have followed the Zone quite a bit.  I am trying Paleo.  I tried once before and about went crazy from hunger.  I Have increased my fat and have done relatively well this time.  I feel satisfied between meals.  I have been 100% clean to the plan I am following.  I excited tosee what the next week brings.

How was your first week?By the end of your 50 days, your body will be speaking the truth like never before—and you’ll be able to listen to (and trust!) the signals it’s trying to send you. Which is a good thing, because your body knows better than anyone or anything what you need to keep you healthy.
Hang in there!
