okay..so this is Round 2..phase three since Thursday...did exactly what i did last round...
eggs, bacon, ezekial bread, a piece of cheese, chicken breast, salad, w/dressing, four olives, two apples, strawberries and heavy whipping cream..
four pound gain the next day! so..i did a steak day yesterday...steak and apple for dinner and coffee and water all day! down about two pounds this am...but, I HAVE a feeling...i will be doing another steak day tomorrow...;o( i went back and read pounds and inches (that section) and i am wondering if i was on the hcg too long..my liw was 155.2...today i was 156.8...now, it's evening and i am dressed and i weigh 162..;o( I AM GOING TO CRY!!! do i just try and stabelize around 157??? or what??? i cut the cheese out today and one piece of ezekial bread..but, last round it was wonderful..i stabelized beautifully...not this round! I AM SO DISAPPOINted>>> ANY SUGGESTIONS???
I haven't done my 2nd round yet so I'm not 100% sure on this but maybe you added in the bread too fast? On my P3 I found that some things didn't agree with me my 1st week but I was ok with them late 2nd week or after.
It's a good place to start. Stop eating that and continue on with your eggs and dairy, etc and try it later. I'm not even sure what's in it to honest...I saw it mentioned on here, looked for it at the health food store and stopped when I saw they wanted over $5 for a loaf! LOL
yeah..i know we have it for about four dollars a loaf but i keep it in the freezer and DO NOT SHARE IT..so last round one and a half loaves lasted the entire round...i guess.i should try that..because you know last round i had adkin bars and coconut milk ice cream it was WONDERFUL..it doesn't look so good this round..;o( wondering too if i should try and stabelize at a higher weight..eventhough that would be AWFUL!!
Ezekial bread still has gluten in it. It is definatly a starch. Some can tolerate the Ezekial bread who can not have wheat/gluten. I love it, however I have found it to be a problem, even in p4. It set me into a crazy hungry, I refer to all of that as "white food crack!" lol Triggers binging for me, so it is a big No No for me! Mommy, go by your morning weight, you have eaten and drank fluids all day, and a gallon of water weighs 8 #. Bet tomorrow it will be better.
wow...about the ezekial bread..i did see 15gm of carbs..but, why last round was it cool?? and not this round?? i wish I KNEW WHAT MY BODY WAS TRYING TO DO..........
I just found it online and that is a definite no-no for original protocol. some people might be able to get away with it but not everyone. It's full of grains.
I would cut that out completely and go from there, kinda starting P3 over. I wouldn't worry about stabilizing higher yet.
I think as your diet changes, and your body changes, (due to eating real food) sometimes you will be more sensitive to things the body no longer can process. I am r1p4, so you have more experience, but I would think it is a wheat intolerence/gluten intolerence, as that is know to cause abdominal discomfort and fluid retention, just as lactose does to those who can not consume it.
