Kristina > Thanks! I am still amazed that you are not hungry on that diet. It doesn't seem like very many calories, or fat for that matter.

Yes, I am averaging about 1500 calories per day.  Hunger's not an issue -- but energy is right now.  Last time I found that my energy picked up after three days or so, so I expect to turn the corner soon.  I suspect that my body is predisposed to burn my stored fat before hunger picks up.  

I'm really wanting someone else to try this diet too so that I can see if they experience similar lack of hunger on such a low calorie diet.  I can send a tracking spreadsheet if anyone wants a tool that would help them.
