In the first week you can have an extra unrestricted packet to help with the transition. Thankspically in 4-5 days it starts to feel better. Are you adding in the unlimited veggies? Be sure you are getting all required food: 3 packets (1 may be restricted; an extra unrestricted for a few more days) 2 cups approved veggies at lunch and 2 at dinner, measured raw 8 oz meat weighed raw 2 tsp oil 1/4 tsp salt 64+++ oz water All supplements

@edgar88 You can gave any extra unrestricted packet. So it depends on what packets you have available. Did you get more than 21 so you could have an extra if you get particularly hungry. You don’t want to run out unless you are going back in less than a week.

Add in a boiled egg. It took me a while to adjust. It took my body a solid month to level out. I ate two extra hard boiled eggs throughout the day. Now I’m good to go.

Add an egg to the package of pancake mix. that makes a good meal. Use cauliflower rice (sold at Costco or Walmart freezer dept) and make a stir fry with some protein n veggies. Use spinach n cucumbers n a package of a drink n make a smoothie. Yummy! I'm never hungry anymore!
