Hello Angie -
Don't get discouraged. I didn't see any effects until after 3 days. I'm now on day 5 and am very pleased. However, what I noticed from the recipes and posts, is that most have a lot of sodium and processed foods. Some people can metabolize this fine... while others struggle. You can try changing it up a bit. For instance - my diet is purely organic. I use only kosher salt and fresh herbs as seasonings (no lipton soup mix or v8 and so forth). I found a great organic no fat low cal dressing - ginger soy - that I love to add to my soup (just a bit to add flavor - also include fresh grated ginger to make a it hotter).
It is also important to eat. Try to snack on the soup all day long (or if its veggie day - snack on raw veggies). This keeps your metabolism going.
BTW... Be careful with sugar alternatives. This can disrupt your body from suffieciently processing your intake of food. I used to be addicted to diet cokes and anything sweetened artificially. I've learned to get off of it - currently can't stand the taste - and am extremely healthy/happy because of it. It's easier said than done - I understand that - just gotta get over the hurddle.:rolleyes:
I wish you the best of luck -
