I'M HUNGRY!!! 

and level42 knows why. How long will this last?

andres suggestion of water is good, try hard my friend it wont be easy. are you on shakes for every meal?
i might be tempted to start the day with a good cereal not a shake to help with the hunger, it will be a good part of a weightloss program too. something to consider if the shakes are too much all the time.
silly question, do you guys eat cereal in europe, whenever i get offered a european breakfast its bread ham and cheese

You liar!  I do feel hungry.

I started today with the shakes, strawberry. André already told me that the first 3 days are heavy. But I will survive, I only have to drink these shakes for 2 or 3 weeks, after that I can swap one shake a day for a regular light meal. but until then, no hot meals for me.

@polaris, yes we know and eat cereals, at least I do, about 3-4 times a week in the morning. But for now I'm on shakes for every meal.

No most people don't eat cereal here. We have local small bakeries that provide REAL fresh, and high quality bread, compared to what's usual called "bread" in the UK and the US and is sold at supermarkets. I'm sorry but you guys don't know bread really. Often it's so bad you will need to toast it first before it's possible to consume at all...

The only time I eat cereal is holiday, I do like it but it's not something we eat every day here, at least most people don't.

I am of course talking about the Dutch situation. I'm pretty sure it's mostly the same in Belgium too.

O and the UK is in Europe too.

[polaris]

you should probably try bread from a bakery in the uk and not just from burger king

O and the UK is in Europe too.

not when were talking about breakfast. i mean mainland europe when i say you european guys, i know what people in britain do

[level42]

Anyway....I seem to be experiencing something unexpected.....

I'm cold ! My wife is comfortable and the room temperature is 21 degr (first time I turned on the heating today).
But I'm cold. Cold hands. Cold feet.

Could this be due to the diet ? I mean, I'm not burning anything....and of course I have a little less "isolation"

when you drop your calorie intake dramatically, your body reacts by slowing down and doing less work. it will pass im sure as your body gets used to the calorie intake

I think i does, i mean a am not on diet, but also i dont have "the isolation" and i am always cold
warm your feet is the advice i can give, when your feet are warm, your whole body will feel warmer..
it sounds girly, but a footbath helps really good, and after that put on "geitenwollen sokken"  
sorry dont know the english word for that (see the pic below for the non dutch people)

something like this i use, and it massages too

Today is day 2 for me, and I didn't feel hungry when I woke up.    And better yet, for the first time I really enjoyed the shake, thanks to André. He told me to put a bottle of water in the fridge and use it for the shakes, they taste so much better when they are cold.

-12 Kg. after 3 weeks....

Not bad, not bad. But I do have a feeling that its' getting a bit harder now (as expected). You know, I now feel "normal" with the way I feel, as opposed to after a week or two it still felt "special" to have lost so much weight in such short time.

Anyway, I'll keep going !

Still going strong.

6 days past since I started my diet and I already lost 4.5 kgs.  That's a real good motivation for me to continue. But it were 6 days of feeling hungry, not easy.
