Well my weight went down .6 this morning with the oatmeal so it has been a mixed siganl where the oatmeal is concerned. The first day I was down 1.0. The second day I was up to 1.0 and then today I am down 0.6 so I guess it has not caused any huge gains. Would anyone think that this means I am ok with Oatmeal????

Serioulsy is it be better to eat ice cream instead of starches?

Hi -

I"m posting this in a few p4 sections b/c I don't know which ones are more popular so, please forgive the duplicate postings.

I did Releana for 6 months and would love some feedback about problems in P4. I lost a total of 60lbs - went from a size 16 to a size 4 - lost a ton of inches off my waist(14") hips (12"" etc)...but, of course the waist area was the indication that there were other issues - high sugar levels (pre diabetic) hormonal imbalance, high cortisol levels - all of which, as of my last drs visit in April (when I stopped the drops) had all been corrected and I was/am healthy again. I haven't weighed myself but, I know that I have put on some weight - my pants are tighter on me. I do not over eat, eat almost no sugar, carbs come mostly from veggies/fruit and occasionally whole wheat products and fats are from olive oil - or natural. So, I'm really at a loss as to what's going on. I also work out pretty vigorously 3 -4 times a week. Now I know I can always do another round but, the goal was to adjust the metabolism (since overeating was never a problem) and, the fact that I know that I have put on weight (and it's around my mid section) is upsetting to me.

Does anyone have any advice????
