hi i am on day 2 as well - my first time doing this diet. i also felt a liitle light headed yesterday and took a multivitamin. today i feel fine but am longing for something sweet. will just go to bed early to take my mind of it!!!
i plan to lose 35lbs so have a long way to go.
lets hope this gets me going

The first day is the easiest for me acutally. There are soo many fruits to choose from and its a nice balance between the salty soup and the sweet fruits.

Day 2 is the hardest, to me at least, because it's basically all salty, and I tend to crave something sweet that day :p But don't worry you can get through it!

I suggest changing the flavor of the soup frequently, because you get pretty sick of it after awhile! I think the best way to change it is switch from spicy to non-spicy. It's the biggest difference in flavor for me

Check out the recipe section of the forum! it's reallyy helpful! Also, you can search on the web for sites like allrecipes.com where you can choose the ingredients you want and don't want and then search for a recipe!

I want to lose about 30 lbs as well! good luck to you!! And when in times of despair, just come back to the discussion forum to take your mind off of whatever you're craving!

You will find that the light headedness really improves by day four well it always does for me.
Hope this helps and good luck

It is very likely down to caffeine withdrawal I used to get super bad headaches on the first few days every time I did this diet.
Hope this helps to explain!
Good luck.

For day 2 I try to make a list of vegetables I really enjoy and consider a luxury:

Asparagus spears grilled and served with a squeeze of lemon juice and plenty of black pepper
Blackened sweet red and yellow peppers
Fat slices of aubergine sprayed with olive oil flavoured cooking spray and grilled
Mushrooms sprinkled with salt to release the juices and fried with cooking spray
Exotic mushrooms like oyster mushrooms, ceps, shiitake etc.
Cherry tomatoes eaten out of a bowl like sweeties, bursting in your mouth
Home-made salsa made from skinned and chopped tomatoes, chopped sweet peppers, finely chopped red onion, finely chopped chilli peppers salt and pepper and coriander (cilantro), used as a dip for crudites of celery, slices of sweet pepper, carrot sticks, sugar snap peas, baby sweetcorn (this is an old diet trick of mine for hunger pangs - it's really tasty, mega low calorie like 60cals max, and you can eat it whilst watching TV or movies, or take it to parties so you have something to eat that isn't really bad, or in the evening when you're tempted to snack)

What's everyone else's favourite luxury veggies?

My favorite luxury vegetables are grilled Portabella Mushrooms... 

Paragon the salsa you described sounds fabulous!  I'm going to try making some today!
