Thread: Phase 4 and gaining. Any help?

Thanks for your response. A macadamia nut day is when you only eat macadamia nuts all day. One once, five times throughout the day. There are Vlogs about how to do it. It helps you flush fat. I supplement with a some whey protein. I have allergies to soy, wheat, hops, walnuts, sesame and casein. I thought soy oil was okay since I read that if you're allergic to soy, it is usually just the protein and not the oil, but I am beginning to suspect soy oil. I phoned the restaurant beforehand and they said the curry I had was clear of those things. I mean it was really only just a few veggies, coconut milk and brown rice. I hardly eat carbs since HCG but I would like to think that I could have a meal with rice every once in a while. I actually hardly even eat vegetables at this point. Trying to get everything under control with protein and fat. I think salt could be an issue but don't know why my weight didn't go back to 'normal-ish' the day after. I did sample my friend's dish that had tofu in it and even though I didn't specifically eat the tofu maybe that gave me a reaction. I am going to try to normalize on salads and protein while I'm on vacation.

Your screen name suggests you are a vegetarian, and you mentioned vegetarian thai food. Many vegetables are loaded with carbs, and thai food tends to have peanuts in it....a verrrrry common allergen.....plus high in carbs and fat. There might be sugar and peanut oil in the sauce....combined with a boat load of salt. But, this is clearly a food reaction....I'd try going back to simple foods, then adding one thing in at a time until you see what it or they are that are the culprits.

I'd say you're probably right about the salt and sugar. I will be eating out all next week. I will try to keep it very simple. Thank you.
