[VINPELA]

Hi everyone!! Need some advice and suggestions desperately. I am on VLCD 5 and I am starving!!!! I am currently on EVOKE 10 drops x3/day. I have read several posts about adjusting your dose if you feel hungry. I adjusted my dose to 12 drops x3/day and felt horrible. I am adjusting today to 6 drops x5/day to see if that helps. I have had swings of lethargy, moodiness, weakness, shortness of breath and hunger terribly. I am eating within my calories and following the plan to a "T" along with all my water consumption. I am using my fruit as snacks in between meals and drinking coffee or herbal tea to help fill up. What can I do??? When will I feel better??? I am not for sure if I can continue with the plan if I am going to feel this terrible. I am becoming skeptical that this works and you just aren't starving yourself.... Please Help!!!

I'm not sure as I'm having starving issues right now myself, but I switched brands. When I first started out, I had to adjust my drop dosage and was NEVER hungry once I got the right dose. It could be that you're getting too much. Try cutting back on the drops and see if that helps. FWIW, days 4 and 5 were the absolute worst for me when I started. Days 1-3 were easy (probably because I was still full from my load), but 4 and 5 nearly took me out. Day 6 was slightly better and then it got super easy. I was never hungry. Since switching brand and to pellets from drops I'm having hunger issues. Today I adjusted the number of pellets (I lowered them for 4 three times a day to 3 three times a day) and I haven't been nearly as hungry. Maybe try that and see if it helps. Good luck.
