I am on day 15 liquids.  It was about day 11 I started to feel like I was hungry or maybe just weak.  I have been trying the protein drinks and not liking them at all.  I did find that anything I made myself at least tasted good and I did feel better.  The end is here for me tomorrow.

Yes, I had one of the drinks on the list they gave me, Atkins Advantage Strawberry, it was ok.

I have about 7 more days to go.  Thanks for your input.

I am cooking this right now.

small potatoes cut into chunks

carrots, cut into chunks

Beet, chunked

2 whole green onions from my garden (Not going to eat them, why cut)

half a head of cilantro

One big annaheim pepper

A sprig each of rosemary, majoram, oregon, some sage leaves, parsley and lemon thyme

Big old dash of goysemo-which is seaweed and sesami-mine is garlic flavored.

 

My intention was to use the stock as a base for other things-but it smells so good I think it's just going to be IT.  I'll strain it and sip it (and feed the mashed veggies to the birds)

One of the things that helps, both mentally and physically, is to do something "normal" like cooking-and the fresh veg broth is better for you than cubes.  I like the flavor of beets, and the red broth is kind of festive after a stretch of eating brown or yellow.

Oh and after 4 days-yes you ARE probably really hungry, but this is a good time to learn that being hungry isn't going to kill you.  Once you learn that hunger won't get you, the "head hunger" will be easier to tackle.
