Day 1 Low Carb Difficult!!!

It hasn't for me (but I'm not low carb). Then again, I also haven't been able to successfully resist it...

Yes it gets much easier..I felt so much better after about day 3. Small meals help me.

You could eat some protein: beef, bacon, chicken, a slice of cheese, some nuts. They'll be more satisfying ans won't increase your carb count.

the only time i successfully did a low carb plan it was very strict but it did allow me to have free reign on portions. that was key because when I was carb craving, I could eat any amount of whatever i was allowed to eat and that got me thru it.

I hope you are not trying to cal count and cut carbs to nearly zero at the same time? if you are I hope you have some plan that you really see the merit in and makes sense to you because otherwise from my experience it would be a recipe for starvation, hangry, and lots and lots of falling off the wagon. shoot my plan which eventually worked, made me fall off the wagon repeatedly before getting going full swing.

From your diary it doesn't look like you picked very filling foods, I'm set for 5/35/60 for carbs/protein/fats and during the week I'm normally around 10 grams for carbs then 30 grams on Sat's and never hungry.

Adding in more meat and less nuts will give you more calories to work with without the higher carbs.

Don't get discouraged - hang in there. It does get better.
I've been eating high protein & low carb since mid-February, have lost 20lbs, feel like I did when I was in my 30s (I'm 54yo), but I did find it difficult the first 3 days. During my first 3 days, I only ate food that was high in protein with very few carbs. That's so my body could get into ketosis, which is when your metabolism burns your body's stored carbohydrates/fats rather than the carb-rich food you've just eaten. Also by doing it this way, you are eliminating all foods that your body may be sensitive or have food allergies around, but you just don't know it yet. After 3 days of no sugar, wheat & dairy, I found I wasn't really hungry for them.
If you don't want to go this hardcore, I'd suggest that beginning at breakfast you do eat high protein foods every 3 hours & watch the type of carbs you are consuming. Read labels & try to only eat food that contain complex carbohydrates. Next, drink 1 gallon of water a day. Your body needs to flush the carbs & toxins out of your body as you are in ketosis. Don't skimp on this. I use a gallon jug & fill it the night before so I can have it ready to pour from in the morning when I take my am medication & vitamins. I also try to finish drinking all the water by 6pm so I am not waking up needing to go to the bathroom all night long.
Take a multi-vitamin with minerals every day. Pay particular attention to whether you are getting enough A, B6, B12, C, E, Calcium, & Selenium.
Finally do cardio at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes & weight train the same amount of time. The more muscle you build, the more weight you will lose. Good luck!

I just started a low carb nutrition plan today. Protein, nuts, olive oil, light sauces, veggies, only 2 fruit and 2 dairy per day. My total carbs was still 104 today BUT there is lots of fibre to minus from that too (Im type 1 diabetic and take insulin for carbs - fibre) Anyways, it's 830pm here and I am getting hungry and im supposed to lift some weights too!!! It's gonna be challenging! Does anybody think this hungry at night will go away in a few days???

Eat something fat and protein filled.............

I don't think I could possibly be happy eating such a low amount of carbs.
