    I have done the program 3 times and each time, I have a really hard time in p3 of the diet. I can't stop craving carbs and I eventually end up cheating and doing the rounds all over again. I know I am messing up the hard work I have done to lose the weight but I cant help it. All I can think about is a slice of pizza or cookies and ice cream. I finished P2 about 2 weeks ago and gained a pound when I tried adding olive oil. I wasn't over the 2 pound mark to do a steak day so I stuck with high protein for my meals and less fruits and veggies. Well, I got super hungry at night and ended up eating carbs at 3 am. I'm so upset. I cheated the first week of P3. :( I got so upset that I went on a carb binge and now I am back on the program because I gained 10 lbs!!! I hope I can finally adjust on P3 but I feel hopeless. Can anyone offer some advice?

    That's scary! I'm new to this but would think that the need for carbs would be gone after P2. Is that not true? Cuz I love me some carbs,. :0)

    I thought so too but I get so tired in P3 without carbs, it's like my body craves them.

    You're going to have to find the source of this craving.
    Are you willing to do your own baking and experiment with alternative flours so you can keep white flour and white sugar out of your body?
    GENERALLY, when you stay about from those empty starches for a while, you crave them less and less.

    You could post what you are eating, exactly; so people could help you more specifically. A food diary sounds like it would be helpful for you anyway. What, when, and why are pieces of info to track.

    I'd like some advice also. This is p3 day 14 up 1.8. everything was going great until now. I been using agave just a little each day from beginning know thats not allowed, but seemed okay, second week had a couple vodka tonics (diet tonic) Not sure about that.... still didn't gain.Then had some parm cheese that seemed to be it. I have been eating ricotta from the beginning of p3 no problems??? Also having some pain in my leg from middle of well my butt to my knee, walking helps, could the gain also be from inflammation???

    Well yes, I guess it could be. Sounds like you're doing great in your P3.
    Is it down the outside of your leg? Could be you need to stretch (GENTLY) the TFL.

    here's a sample menu of what I was eating on p3.. i only started p3 for a few days so i hadnt yet gotten to add cheese or nuts or anything, was just trying to get my calories up...

    BF - large egg white omelette with veggies and a bowl of berries
    Snack - apple
    Lunch - about 6 or 7 ounces of a protein like chicken, large salad with mixed veggies
    Snack - another apple or some egg whites
    Dinner - same as lunch but a different protein
    Snack - sometimes I'll have some veggies and a few egg whites if I'm hungry later on at night.

    Thanks, I stayed below LIW the whole first week. Pain is actually more toward the inside..

    I don't see much in the way of healthy fats in there. Are you using coconut oil or anything like that?
    I'm wondering if you need something to slow the absorbtion of the rest of your food down.
    And if you're stable so far, you probably can add some hard cheeses first (like parmesan, feta) and later the others you like.
