Question

My first post.  Only been doing this a week now.My first post. Only been doing this a week now. I'm purple. I feel like I am starving all the time. I have lost 5lb but that's using my starting weight by doctors scale and weight yesterday was my scale. Probably helps that I've been sick with bronchitis since Thursday. Today I'm starving but nothing sounds good. I love carbs and sweets and I'm picky. This isn't easy and I was in tears last week because I'm so hungry. Any suggestions would be awesome.  

Answer 1

Mix sliced banana with a vanilla or chocolate snack pack sugar free pudding cup and top with a one or two crushed WW oatmeal caramel breakfast cookies.  

Answer 2

For your crunchy salty cravings try pop chips they are awesome

Answer 3

At first I ate a lot of bean soup/chili. I made it with white beans, red beans, mixed beans. You can make zero point bean soups. They are filling kept me from feeling ucky and light headed from not eating so much junk food. Plus I wanted it sooooo bad.  

Answer 4

I'm on purple and it's less than a month and the scale (at home) says I've lost 5 lbs. I'M THRILLED and I absolutely love eating this way. So. the first couple of weeks when I was really hungry at dinner time - I had a microwave baked potato. with toppings. There's a ton of options. I had sauteed mushrooms (make with garlic & parsley and a tablespoon of cooking wine (not the sweet kind). The mushrooms give off a gravy and it was delish! This week I'll make a zero - 1 point turkey chili, you're only limited by your imagination. All kinds of cooked veggies & beans, plain yogurt & lots of pepper - taste great on top of baked potatoes! It's just portion control for the things with points. i. e. low fat shredded cheese,  

Answer 5

Eat more! You should never feel like you’re really starving. If purple is too restrictive give blue a try, but the biggest thing is to incorporate more zero point foods and drink water. Don’t give up!  

Answer 6

I am on purple and I have Steele cut oats and a banana for breakfast and coffee with skim milk. 0 breakfast, lunch salad with low calorie salad dressing, apple, maybe 2 points, dinner fish or chicken, baked potato with spray butter, two veggies and unsweetened applesauce, 0 point dinner. In between I fit in low point snacks or fresh fruit, drink lots of water, built bars later in evening. 3 so. You can also use weekly’s if needed. I am more than satisfied and sometimes have 4 points rolled over. Cannot roll over more than 4 points

Answer 7

As with any addiction, withdrawal is hard. LoL Drink water, chaw on celery sticks, and when you eat a meal, eat slowly, paying attention to the food: chew, taste and savor. You got this!  

Answer 8

@roccoroch47379ybe you need to change to Blue. There is no reason to be hungry on WW. I hit my milestone last Thursday of 25 pounds. Are you going to the workshops? They have been good for me. Talk to someone at WW. Hang in there and don’t give up.

Answer 10

Take the day in one hour chunks. Some days, 24 hours seems daunting!  

Answer 11

I love air popped popcorn with seasoning on it. It’s my go to in the evenings. Also sugar free popsicles. You can have 3 for 1 point. Apples are also good at night. Werthers has sugar free hard candy at Walmart. They even have a chocolate Carmel. You can have 5 for 1 point. They help my sweet tooth. It does get easier. Just keep thinking about the weight you have lost.
