Hi XXXXXX,
I lost almost 20 pounds during the first few weeks of withdrawals.
Eating was a real chore, and I suppose my metabolism was in overdrive.
Things stabilized, and as the worst of the symptoms pasted, I began to get
incredible cravings for food. Often the worst foods! There were times when
the hunger came on very quickly and I felt as though my blood sugar was
extremely low. I sort of wish I would have had it checked just to see if it
was off. My diet was rather poor. I consumed a substantial amount of sugar
and the withdrawal was light enough for me to tolerate it. I pretty much
gave into the cravings and welcomed the comfort the food brought me, of
course the fat didn't please me at all.
Once the withdrawal was minimal I was able to eat very well. As a
matter of fact, I was able to eat very lightly with less hunger than I had
ever experienced. Through plenty of exercise and the continued diet I lost
every bit of the Benzo Belly and then some. It just takes patience to get to
the point where the symptoms don't control your eating habits, and hinder
your ability to exercise.
Take care,
Pete
