Up the amount of fat you're eating. If you're having eggs and bacon for breakfast, add a 1/2 avocado. If you're eating a salad, add another 1/2 or bake some prosciutto in the oven and crumble it on top.
Key is to become fat adapted. To do that, you need a lot more fat and low carbs. Your body is just looking for carbs because it's used to using that as the fuel. It'll adapt, but it can take a full week.
Also, make some homemade bone broth and sip it when you're feeling hungry. The minerals, trace fat, and gelatin will help you through and is very healing.0 -
Eat when you're hungry.
A heads-up: Some people have a rough transition of up to three weeks. That's very rare, but just stick with it. Your body is going through a lot to try to return to normal.
Edit: What Dmkolls said. Stick to fats.0 -
Thank you everybody! all this is great advice and its great to know the support is out there. Will stock up on avocados and drink more water! Dmkolls I like the idea of some prosciutto in the oven then crumbled!!!!0
