OK...I was on phase I for 12 days, got strep throat REALLY bad (almost hospitalized!) and was off the diet for a solid week while I recovered and basically lived on liquid diet. So, now I decided to just start phase one again, just for a week or two before I jump in at phase II. I am at the end of day 2 as I am typing this.

I am finding that my cravings for stuff are SOOOO much worse this time. I had some cravings the first time through, but I pushed through them. This time its been a real challenge. I want so badly to grab a dinner roll or a big bowl of Golden Grahams right now. I haven't cheated...and I know these cravings will abate eventually, but GEEZ! This is hard this time! I wonder why??? Maybe I was "over carbing" too much last week. Seeking out too many comfort foods while I was sick?

Here's hoping that I press through this part quickly so I can get back on track! Thanks for listening!

Maybe it's because you know so well how it feels to be under control while eating SBD so that the cravings now seem worse in comparision. I would remove all the bad carbs from sight until you re-gain the control. That's what worked for me in the beginning.

Good you're feeling better!
