My doctor has me on 4-6 shakes a day with 6 oz of lean meat to replace one of those meals and so far I'm comfortable. Hungry is going to be there I believe for the first few days but getting use to the adjustment from carbohydrates and depletion of glycogen stored to the body and moving to consuming body fat instead (Ketosis) usually takes about 4 days so it gets easier ... at least that is what I've been told. Good Luck

Good luck on your end. I started my pre diet this past Friday and so far so good, I believe you will be surprised at the lack of hunger that you might feel. Friday am my weight was 298 to 290 so that great to see and very encouraging. I know much is water but a great boost. I have been doing 5 shakes a day and 6.5 oz of chicken on my little grill so far that has helped with the solid food cravings. Last night on my date with my wife and daughter we did a movie early and stopped a noodle company after while they had the normal I had the side of 3.5 oz of chicken and 6 sautéed shrimp total calories of 180. While I've only been on this journey a short time the trip looks very short when I think about the days to come without knee and back pain, high blood pressure and cholesterol medication. Can't wait to get back to doing things that I enjoy so much like mountain biking and being more active then most 54 year olds. Good luck!
