    It looks okay, but there's alot of sodium in it. You might find yourself stalling from that. but you won't know unless you try it.

    Lady Smart,

    I was just wondering where you look you information up regarding ingredients. I am trying to figure out what ingredients are safe and not safe in regards to beauty products.
    I also tried to go to that website www.kickboxingmama.com/hcgandme and I keep getting a message that says it doesn't exist.

    Google, wikipedia, foodfacts.com All good choices to check ingredients.

    Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide used as a food additive and rheology modifier. It is produced by fermentation of glucose or sucrose by the Xanthomonas campestris bacterium. After a fermentation period, the polysaccharide is precipitated from a growth medium with isopropyl alcohol, dried, and ground into a fine powder. Later, it is added to a liquid medium to form the gum.
    And:
    Xanthan gum is considered a polysaccharide in scientific circles, because it is a long chain of three different forms of sugar. What's important to know is that all three of these natural sugars are present in corn sugar, a derivative of the more familiar corn syrup. The Xanthomonas campestris bacteria literally eat a supply of this corn sugar under controlled conditions, and the digestion process converts the individual sugars into a single substance with properties similar to cornstarch. Xanthan gum is used in dairy products and salad dressings as a thickening agent and stabilizer. Xanthan gum prevents ice crystals from forming in ice creams, and also provides a 'fat feel' in low or no-fat dairy products.

    I had Frank's Red Hot sauce my second week on P2 and stalled for 2 days after. I don't know if it was just a coincidence or what. but I steer clear from it now. I also thought the ingredients sounded safe but I guess I was holding more water due to the high amount of sodium.

    Nanny, we switched over to yahoo groups. It makes it easier for those who like to have the posts emailed. You can find us at

    It's not just for cyclers, although many of the people on the list are not doing the exact protocol. :)
