I do think it is normal. I experienced the same issue in the beginning, but after a week or so my body adjusted and I was not as hungry at all.

Thank you so much for the positive feed back. I really think day 3 is worse. But I'm determined to do this.. Down 3.5 pds...

What if you added a little turkey or chicken with your breakfast? Maybe that will help.
