I've tried the apple diet a couple of times. I've made it to around 8pm both times, and by that time I felt with more energy and less pain, but I crave for some other food.

I will try it soon again.

I drink coffee tho, not sure if its allowed on the apple diet.

It has been a few years since I have done the 3 days... now and again I will do 1 day. More difficult with family than when I was single.

When I was single, I would start on Friday and finish on Sunday and rent all kinds of movies.. by Sunday I was getting less energy and stuck around the house a lot.

Some get more energy, but I do not have a lot of reserves (fat)... so think that plays against me in that regard.

At times I would drink apple juice as well.. but tried to find all natural varieties.

I went NSD without doing the apple fast. I still got good results. My biggest problem was finding all the sources of starch in my diet. Most processed foods have some type of starch added.

As I mentioned I failed. I felt too badly and let myself get comfort food. The worst now, McDonalds, etc. Here is the point, I am starting over tommorrow. But what I really want to say is this. When you want starchy food, it seems like it will make everything ok. Truth is, it's enjoyable for a moment, then you just want more. This kind of fundamental change is hard. I am trying again tommorow, to get a clean trial and see if the NSD will work for me. But For Ailda, the op, be aware and keep going , the starch meal you crave isn't that great to start with. There are plenty of nourishing , non starch foods to choose from if this end up working- I pray it works for you.

ps dusty, I pray it works for you as well. give it a clean trial. It doesnt work for some, for others it does, I think it's well worth it at 100xs the discomfort if we can make it fly. Id have my life back. Starchy food was a part of that life, but not a big part. If this works I am going to make it my business to thank everyone involved with this forum for saving my life. Good luck

Ok....day three the end...in MHO...the olive oil was nasty...everything else easy. Sticking with this..and if I do eat something (no plan to) i'll get back on.

Robert44..crazy as it sounds the thing I craved was cucumber with tuna on it. But see I know I feel better eating low carb..I've done it in the past w/ wanting to lose weight...now I feel I have to in order not to feel this way. Trial and error. But as a very dear friend told me
