Hi Sherri. Good to hear that you are 'going for it' regarding the NSD!
I first went NSD about 7 months or so ago, and I felt a difference within a week. However, it is apparently not usual to have such good success right away! but I hope you will as well.
Like you I didn't think that the starch I was eating was making me feel any different, but I started the diet anyway. My biggest motivation for going NSD was that my rheumy wanted me to go on Remicade and I could not afford it not in a million years. So I jumped in to the NSD full speed ahead, and am I ever glad I did!
I think the biggest thing to overcome [for me anyway] was having food readily available that I could eat when I was hungry. And also at first to only deal with a few food items at a time while I got the hang of not eating starch. I had grapes, broccoli, eggs, and chicken and I went from there. Over time you will acquire lots of yummy recipes and loads of things to eat to choose from!
Good luck, and remember ask any questions you have even if you think they are 'stupid' 'cause they aren't!
Cheers,
Rita
