Phase 2 panic!
| Sat, 01-17-2004 - 3:56pm |
Am I imagining this? I started Phase 2 today. I had 1/3 cup of oatmeal for breakfast and about 6oz of V8 juice. After 2 painless weeks on Phase 1 w/o preoccupation with food, hunger or cravings, I am thinking about food today and all I want is candy!
Is it a coincindence that I added carbs back and the cravings returned? Am I imagining it? Or is the advent of my TOM (due to start Monday) that is making me want sweets so badly? Maybe it is all of these things, but I am now scared of phase 2. I was perfectly happy on Phase 1 and did not lose as much as I'd hoped (4 pounds!), so maybe I'll go back there a little while longer.
Did anyone else have trouble transitioning into Phase 2?

It could be your TOM cravings (happens to me every month) but could also be oatmeal is a "trigger" food for you.

Remember - you should be eating a good fat with your oatmeal.

I have cut it out of my diet too because it is a trigger food for me too. I really want some on this blissfully snowy morning, but I am going to wait until I get ready to get out of the house and do busy stuff. I simply CAN NOT eat oatmeal when I will be around the house for a while!!!
Funny, I really thought I was a bit strange there with that Oatmeal Reaction!

Ps. I will have mine just before we go out sledding!!!
