I’m worriedhow are these small packets of food going to keep me going for almost a week?!

Inside the box are five smaller boxes, each contains everything you should probably eat and drink.
The afternoon consists of a spearmint tea and another snack bar.
The handy day planner helps keep me on track and there wasnt too much time between eating or drinking.

It tastes good and is meant to stave off hunger between meals, but I’m still pretty hungry.
Im guessing it was caffeine withdrawals?
It feels much easier, even though today there was no olives or chocolate bar to snack on.
However, there is a good mix of soups to keep things interesting.
Yesterday was mushroom followed by minestrone and quinoa, today is tomato soup again and plain minestrone for dinner.
I felt less bloated and have much more energy than earlier in the week.
Plus, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Today, I can also snack on not one, but two packs of olivesbut then disaster strikes…
This was the last day that included the little chocolate bar, but it’s missing from the box!
I don’t think I’ve ever been so hangry than at that moment.
The Fasting Mimicking Diet Day 5:
Migraine aside, the five days were pretty easy!
I definitely noticed I was less hungry on day five compared with at the beginning.
Id say I put half of that weight back within a week.
