Thread: Violently Ill yet again please help

Oh Megan I sure hope you get to feel better! ((hugs))

I have now read all of Kevin Trudeaus book, an I know it is hard to see the weight go up and down, outside of the LDW+2, but I am convinced that if we stick with it, we will be OK. I think it is just a matter of following the rules, keeping the carbs low (under 20 for me, under 50 for slimmer folks), nd then if you go over 2 lbs do a steak day. For me, as much as I hate the ups n downs, I am seeing the amounts getting smaller, meaning I am closer to my LDW today, than I have been any day since starting P3. I think if we gain water, then never take it off, it will end up as fat. As long as I do a steak day, I lose enough water to get back within the +2 range, so I am safe from gaining the extra fat. I think the water weight and fat weight must have some wort of symbiotic relationship, where they convert back and forth without us knowing. Like my first week of P2, I lost 14 lbs, but it had to be mostly water. . .so then over the next few weeks my loss was about 5 lbs a week, and I think the water came back, so the resulting loss from the first week became a pure fat loss. And then on the flip side, we have this *dance* going on between fat and water, and if we just hold out, I am pretty sure we will be stabelized by the end of P3. So in a nutshell, I do not think the ups and downs are directly related to what food you ate the day before. Sticking with the program does seem to be an absolute key, though, so NO starch, NO sugar, low carb (depending on what you have left to lose), and outside of those guidelines, eat whatever you want. JMO. Does that make senst? Feel free to disagree. I hope it goes well for you from here on out.

I've had only two problems I'm very strict with our two rules however that's a second time ive been incredibly sick and the time before I gained 3 lbs as I couldn't hold anything down . Luckily tho I'm back on track and am at 133.4 ( only .5 over lwd) so not worrying
