Hunger and Sweet Cravings

On my fifth day of the Attack phase, and I'm finding it hard to deal with the hunger pangs! However the thought of eating any more meat, fish or eggs frankly makes me feel sick!

I'm craving something sweet (and caved in earlier and ate 6 dolly mixtures - oops!) and it feels like nothing else will satisfy. Despite loving the first couple of days I'm now finding it hard to eat even 1000 calories because none of the food appeals to me - protein overdose I think.

Does anyone else feel the same?

    You don't have a lot to lose, do you have to do attack for so long? Maybe you should move on to next phase and start adding veggies? It will make the diet more appealing and will help with cravings because you will be eating more.

    For sugar cravings Ive been making sugar free jelly. Only 10 calories for half a cup serve.

    Another one I discovered only yesterday are these sugar free pastilles. My gosh - they are SO good and will now become a staple for me as I need something sweet especially towards the end of the day.

    Where do you get the pastilles from and what are they called. I have had a lot of sweet cravings lately.

    For your sweet cravings try greek yogurt (plain) with jello (sugar free) powder mixed in.. it will taste like flavored yogurt... I also heard that using the instant pudding mix will work as well!

    Hey there...

    The pastilles are in my local supermarket just beside the sugar free gum section. Hopefully they're in the same place in all stores...
    Have a look for them as they are so worth the trouble when those cravings hit!

    This sounds great - so trying it tomorrow!

    The sugar free jello is delicious in greek yogurt, and so is powdered Crystal Light - the morning orange flavor is incredible!
