I'm having trouble with the lo cal low carb liver shrinking diet. I crave carbs. And chewing. Any suggestions ?

Once you go a few days without carbs - the cravings will reduce drastically. Carbs crave carbs. You need to get into ketosis. Try sugar free popsicles flavored for chewing. Hang in there!

Anyone else have issues with how expensive those shakes are. He wants me to get the EAS advant edge carb control. 3shakes a day at 6 bux a 4 pack. X 2 weeks. Holy moly! I bought 4 4 packs that will get me through 5 days. Then I'll figure something out. Don't take me wrong, I have a 2 whole huge jugs of premier powder that I can use after surgery. But for the preop he only wants me to use that EAS rtd stuff.

Have you tried Sams Club or costco to see if they carry it in bulk?
