The first month I craved salt nearly every day in the afternoon. I had moments where I seriously contemplated just shaking salt into my hand it was so bad. I also was forcing myself to eat too as I had zero appetite and happily, lost a little weight.

Now I still force myself to eat most days but have sugar, salt, steak and spinach cravings very often. I've had more steak in the past few months than in the previous year. The weight-loss quickly reversed but I wasn't making the healthiest choices when I did eat. Holiday treats didn't help.

I recently got the ok to increase my exercise (faster walks and stationary bike) and am being more mindful of eating good for the brain and body foods so hopefully the scale will start going back down!
