So far so good. I have not dropped dead from the new diet. The changes I notice thus far are pretty minimal. I'm now having to go constantly, which is tolerable and painless. It's basically being in a constant state of having 'broken the seal' and not being able to hold it very long (off to Costco we go for a freight load of toilet paper).
I'm also ultra sensitive to food commercials. It doesn't matter if I haven't eaten it in YEARS (or in some cases EVER), food commercials trigger the cravings. After an unfortunate arrangement of TV sponsors for the evening, I went to bed last night craving a Carl's Jr double cheeseburger, Hostess cupcakes, Extra Crunchy Cheetos, and a tall, frosty glass of Miller High Life - just plain cruel.
I think the key to success here is that my hubby is magic in the kitchen - among other places. He has managed to make vegetable concoctions or scrambles that include the foods we're allowed to eat that are really good. I think this program basically bores your taste buds into hibernation, thus making foods with complex and rich tastes look appealing. The goal seems to be to continuously shove those urges into submission. I think the miracle of herbs and spices will be my lifeline for the next 20 days....oy.
