Just to post my 2 cents. I just finished my SS last week. I found I was MUCH more satiated once I started using Chia seeds in my smoothies. The first few days I didn't have them and I remember being kinda hungry. Once I got them I made sure to let them "gel" in my smoothie before drinking it, it really helped. In addition, I always put my "lunch" smoothie in the freezer at work first then when I got there (I made both in the AM and drank one on way to work and kept the other for lunch). When I got the lunch one out of the freezer around noon it was semi frozen which made me have to eat it with a spoon and therefore sllloooow dooown! This really helped. The slower I "ate" the fuller I felt, same for drinking the smoothie slower in the AM too. Maybe this will help you.

Good luck, I loved the SS, I lost 16-17 lbs and over 10inches. Its just 2 weeks, I KNOW you can do it!

Best wishes,
Chris
