Hi! I have been lowcarbing for 7 days now, essentially following Bootcamp (as an aside, thank you so much BiWi and everyone offering help, you have provided such brilliant resources and help!)
I have lost 8 1/2 pounds! Even though I know this is largely water weight, I still can't believe it and am pleased I am obviously doing something right. However, I have read that after a while your appetite is supposed to disappear, and I'm slightly worried mine doesn't seem to have yet. I am far from ravenous, to be honest I think I have normal levels of hunger, but I am just quite curious whether everyone has a decreased appetite and it may be an indication I am doing something wrong.
I have to admit, thought, that I am doing something wrong... I am a bit of a Diet Coke addict. I intended to cut it out completely, but I think maybe just found it too comforting and easy to fall back on when I was making other dietry changes. Plus it tastes pretty amazing, despite it being artificial and, I will admit, a bit gross and unnatural.
Do you think this could be why I am still hungry? I have read about it possibly provoking an insulin response, so was worried that it might hinder my weight loss, but it obviously hasn't in the first week. Could hunger be an indication this is happening? Has anyone successfully LC'd while retaining a coke (the drink!) habit?
I would really appreciate any advice!
