I love to eat. Always have. I am at the end of phase one and seem to have lost my appetite. Is this normal. I know I'm supposed to lose cravings for bad carbs, but for food in general? Anyone have this experience?

I get this way went I eat too much per meal. The key is finding the amount your body needs.
Are you measuring your protein? If you are eating the recomanded amounts cut back an ounce or two at meals.
Don't skip meals!!!!!
You'll find your balance. :agree:

I had this exact experience. By the end of phase I, I had no appetite at all. I was really struggling for about three days to eat protein. The appetite does return and in time you will learn how your body reacts to different combinations of carbs and proteins.
Good luck to you...it will pass.

I know this is an old thread but I am DEFINITELY feeling the not hungry feeling!
Its actually welcomed, LoL ,I cant even remember the last time I was not hungry for something!
I'm in day 7 of Phase 1 and I honestly think I could go all day without eating BUT gotta keep that metabolism up so no skipping meals/ snacks!
I bought V8 Veggie Juice with Fiber to drink in the morning and I'm thinking that that may be whats keeping me full because I definitely wasn't full at bedtime last night.

This happens often in the first two weeks. It tends to mean that you are doing things right. Your appetite will come back. When I was in phase one I was not hungry at all but would get nausiated. I learned that the nausea meant that I needed to eat something whether I was hungry or not. Wishing you losses.

Wishing you losses also!
