I have just started back on SB - 6th day - and I knew before I started back that I would need to stock up on "legal SB" phase 1 foods as I was going to have "cravings". Sure enough, this past Saturday (day 3) I was "starving" all day long but I got around this by just eating stuff that I can have in Phase 1. When I weighed on Monday morning (day 5) I had lost 2.8 lbs. And, after Saturday, the hunger (cravings) has stopped.
