I completely understand and agree. The shakes were less "need to not be hungry" and more "Dear god I need chocolate!!!" type thing. Me and the girlfriend were real big carb junkies who love chocolate and sweets... it shows, we are both over 300lbs. So the first two weeks of this is going to be the hardest, would have been easier if we could have fruit cause we love fruit as well but its a no-no. So I am scouring for things that are low carb and allowable to sort of ease the pain of just stopping cold turkey on the carbs and sweets... I guess you could say like a smoker trying to quit, I am looking for a patch! lol
