I agree with Nellie and also, if you seem to be one who craves sweets... that too will pass by the third week. Then you will find the diet is much easier to follow. be creative with your meals and try not to eat the same thing all the time and burn yourself out. check out the kitchen for low carb recipes and there is alot out there on the internet. Lowcarbrecipes.com, Atkins.com, and many more! Good luck!
