Is dieting supposed to burn?

I started to diet with the aid of a Bodybugg a week ago.

I basically just cut down on the portions I was eating and stopped with the fried Snacks.

I've lost about 10 pounds and my stomach is beginning to burn. It goes away for a while after eating or drinking.

I've been on hundreds of diets and it has always been the same.

Is that burn what hunger feels like? Is it a bad thing? It is the fat being burned?

When I'm hungry, my stomach burns too. It's really unbearable and I can think about nothing else until I get some food. I don't have a band yet, maybe in January, hopefully that burning hunger will go away.

What's a BodyBugg?

Thanks for the reply. I am looking at January too. If all goes well, I will get my surgery date on January 6th.

I plan on losing 50 pounds before that.

I used to get that when I dieted but it was heartburn from acid in an empty stomach.

Yeah it sounds just like the way I feel when my stomach is empty. I've always believed it to be the acid in my stomach causing indigestion/heartburn. Usually I'll chew a pepcid or eat something like crackers to settle my stomach when it gets really bad. It also makes me feel super sick to my stomach too, so I dont even WANT to eat even though I'm hungry. Makes no sense lol
