Of COURSE I like to chew!!! How in the world do you think I got where I am?! :P
I'll be honest, the first few days are really hard. Here you've gone for however many years (30 in my case) chewing the food you consume, and now all of a sudden there's no chewing...just drinking!
I'm not going to lie to you. You're gonna want to cheat. You're going to see other people enjoying foods you enjoy, to which you'll raise your Mean Green, smile gently, and chug!
A good rule of thumb is when you feel hungry or have a craving try drinking water first! Did you know that in 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger. And even mild dehydration will slow your metabolism down by as much as 3%!!! Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water could significantly decrease back pain and joint pain for 80% of sufferers...plus drinking 5 glasses of water daily can decrease the risk o colon cancer by 45%, breast cancer by 79%, and bladder cancer by 50%. moral of this story, DRINK MORE WATER!!! When the body gets the water it needs to function optimally, it's fluid needs are perfectly balanced! When this happens, fluid retention is alleviated. As stored water is lost, more fat is used as fuel because the liver is free to metabolize stored fat and appetite is more manageable! (got all that info from a St. Bernards publication) After you've had some water, wait a few minutes. If your feeling of hunger is still there, then mix up some juice!
I promise you'll feel full and because of that you'll be able to manage your cravings to chew something, and in turn you'll stick with it!! :D
Trust me people....if I an do it, you can do it!!!
