@diagenesis great idea

Answer 2

Starting Tuesday. n ready for extra hard boiled eggs

Comments

@gearalt60422 I find this helps a lot!  

Answer 3

You’re not alone.  

Answer 4

Ice drinks to sip on. extra veggies or extra packet . just get through the 3 days. you can do it. Get all of the junk food out of your house . My motivation is NOT wanting to go through those 3 days again. The hunger absolutely goes away.  

Answer 5

Prep, prep, prep! That’s what I’m doing now. The first few weeks of being stuck home, I did great - but the last three have been ROUGH. I just feel icky, so it’s time to reboot before I do further damage!  

Answer 6

Mio water flavoring and fresh lemon juice help me a lot.  

Answer 7

Don’t start on a Monday!

@sink I'm curious? How come?  

---

@vas94 my experience is that if people fail on Monday that wait for the next Monday to restart. Fail on a Tuesday, start again the next day. Fail on a Thursday? Start again on the next day. Fail Monday? Start the next week. Most people’s thoughts.  

---

Another reason is that if you work Mon-Fri, its better (for me anyway) to have my "crappy " 3 days at home so if you start Tues or Wed your worst days should end up being Sat and Sun

@sink great point!  

Answer 8

An extra non restricted product on the 3rd day.  

Answer 9

Hot tea with special flavors mixed like zest orange and mint, extra packs of protein, binge on Netflix to keep your mind busy

Answer 10

I can't get back on track! Been eating so much sugar stuff! I need help!

Caroline, that was me. I started Friday for sure. I was in your boat for a while. I told my family be ready for me to be crabby I am doing good so far. Today will be day 3 You can do it❣️

Answer 11

Pickle juice for headaches and dizzy spells. Lots of water to help curve appetite. Also designate yourself one cupboard and prep all your veggies by cutting them up and I suggest getting a good rubber made fridge saver for them as well. Makes it so much easier to stay on track when you don’t have to continuously prep. I felt like I was going through the detox for 2 months. Sick every single day. You have to want this. You got this girl  

Answer 12

I can’t have anything sugary in the house! The fake chocolate pudding premade helped ❤️

Answer 13

I was craving Ice Cream so instead I blended the IP Dark Chocolate Pudding mix with water and ice in my Ninja. It was so good and much better for me.  

Comments

Margaret, how much water

---

@tithable I cup water and then I fill the cup half way with ice. Blend for 30 seconds. Add more ice and then blend for another 30 - 60 seconds

---

Margaret, thank you

Answer 14

So important to just keep busy so you’re not thinking about it! And a hard boiled egg deff helps!  

Answer 15

Lots of water, IP electrolytes, determination, and keeping busy

Answer 16

Lots Water. extra coffee and I had an extra packet the first day. this worked for me Fyi. I am trying to get back on track and it is day 3 for me

Answer 17

I start cutting back 3 days before the restart day

Answer 18

Make a list of projects. Keep busy to keep your mind off food. and stay away from activities and areas that might make you crave/cheat. I avoid watching TV on the couch after everyone goes to bed. there are no witnesses to my cheating and I always can provide myself an excuse and tell myself I’ll do better tomorrow which I won’t I’ll just go down the rabbit hole.  

Answer 19

Keep busy! Prep, have extra low carb packet if you need it. Drink lots of water so you feel that yucky full feeling and keep trying your jeans on. Do not let yourself wear leggings or sweat pants all the time.  

Answer 20

The water enhancers help get more water in and get the BCAA’s on board.  

Answer 21

Make sure to take your salt everyday!  

Answer 22

Try your favorite IP packet as an xtra snack instead of a real food cheat!  

Answer 23

Ahhhh day 3 & 4 were the worst for me! Crazy headaches to the point I was literally throwing up! If only I had known about salt & pickle juice back then! Lol

Answer 24

When I stay 100% on plan, I don’t get headaches. But this is my 3rd try and it took a week to get over the sugar/carb cravings.  

Answer 25

Water water and more water

Answer 26

I restarted on Thursday I have such a headache

Answer 27

I had a headache on and off for the first week. After that, no more problems. Make sure you're drinking water, having the salt and taking the vitamins to support your overall nutrition. As far as getting through the sugar detox itself (anxiety, desire to eat foods off plan, etc. ), remember why you're making this lifestyle change. Write it down. At least, those are things that helped me.  

Answer 28

Honestly, knowing it's going to suck and getting thru it with the knowledge that once you're off sugar, the cravings really go away! Good luck! Also Orbitz gum every night

Answer 29

This was my first week and I was sick as a dog
