    Hey everyone my LIW on the morning of 7/13 was 229.8 and then on 7/14 morning I was 228.4 and 7/14 my weight was 227.8 and on 7/15 my weight was 227.2 which started my first morning of re-introducing fats. So my meal yesterday consisted of the following:

    Breakfast

    Egg white omlet with Tomatoes, mushrooms, green peppers
    4 slices of Kirklands LOW Sodium Bacon (it has no sugars)
    green tea
    60 oz of water between 7:30 and 10:00 am


    snack

    apple
    60 oz of water between 10:00 and 12:00


    Lunch

    16 oz Ribeye
    2 celery sticks
    60 oz of water between 12:00 and 3:00


    Snack

    grapefruit
    30 oz of water between 3:00 and 5:00


    Dinner

    16 oz chicken breast
    whole cucumber
    apple
    30 oz of water


    So with my weight being at 227.2 (already was below the 2 lbs from LIW of 229.8 I weighed this morning (saturday) and my weight was 228.4 Should I continue to hold off on the chesee to see how my body reacts or should it be okay to introduce? Also my calorie intake yesterday was around 2500 and I had around 220 grams of protein from the steak and chicken. Is it safe to eat cheese based on how my weight is going?

    I would add cheese... Heck, I added cheese the first day haha.

    I just addded some cheese so we can see how it works. Also do you know how much protein/calories I should be taking in with my weight?

    I don't count calories during P3. I eat when hungry and until I'm satiated. I'm 169 (at my exact LIW it seems for the last 4 days)... 26.... 5'3"....and tend to consume 2,500+ calories per day with no weight increase... not an ounce.

    My boyfriend is 25, 5'10", and 238... eats typically the same food as me plus some extras since he has a labor intensive job.... but seems to burn 3,200+ calories per day... he tends to lose .5 during the week since he's on a deficit.

    Oh! One tip on adding new things... I tend to introduce new foods in for breakfast or lunch. That way, I have the whole day to digest it and use it as energy.''

    You can use this calculator tho if you want to see what your recommended caloric intake is.

    Wow, you're drinking way too much water, it's not necessary. Cut that in half, if not more. You must be living in the bathroom!
    Also, add in more vegetables. Don't limit yourself to celery and cukes for lunch and dinner. You can have broccoli, green beans, zucchini, yellow squash, everything but very starchy ones like potatoes, peas, and corn.
    You don't have to just have egg whites, have the yolks, too. And you can have butter on the veggies. Remember, fat is not the enemy.
    It's normal to gain a little because you now have more food in your body. But you're doing great. You don't need to count calories. Generally, you should aim for about 1.5 to 2 times the amount of protein on P2, so you're way over that. You can cut back on that if you want, and increase those veggies and fats.

    Drinking too little or too much water can really mess with your electrolytes. I'd cut it back. That's roughly 2 gallons of water a day... so unless you weigh 450 lbs, that's too much.

    desertgirl and rcross - thanks for the good information!! The hard thing for me was that while in Phase 2 I basically ate mostly fish and chicken each day with only about 1 or 2 times a week that I had steak/lean ground beef 93/7 as I recognized that Fish and Chicken was the cleanest protein to clean through your system. Eating the amount of calories on Friday (2500 ) and today around 2500 I'm feeling really miserable and that I want to vomit. Is it safe to say that if I cut my proportions down I will be okay? I just got worried about putting too little in my body from a food standpoint would hurt me. Also what is the recommended amoun of protein per day (grams)?

    Thanks!!

    I don't think there is a recommended amount, per se. But I doubled the protein, so 7 oz per day on P2 means 14 oz per day on P3. You don't need anymore than that. You can cut back on the calories if you want. It's normal to feel extremely full, since you're now eating so much more than on P2. Cutting way down on the water will help with the miserable feeling, too. Dr. Simeons recommended 2 liters per day on P2. You certainly don't need any more than that on P3.

    Use fats to add calories without so much bulk. Oil, butter, full fat cheese and yogurt, olives, avocado, skin and dark meat of chicken and turkey, pork, are all fine. Don't try to eat lean meats. As long as your weight is stable, try to keep the calories up where you have them. But like SweetReverie, I didn't count calories, either. I just ate a lot of food, and was amazed that I didn't gain.

    During P3.. I don't count calories at all - or protein grams. I just eat protein with every meal...and eat until I'm full - not stuffed! I also have snacks - cheese, nuts, etc. Any fruit I eat I have for/with breakfast so the sugars can be used, energy wise, during the day.

    UPDATE!! I'm by no means trying to dispute what great advice I've been given but my weight on Sunday weigh was 229.4 (good) as my LIW was 229.8 howevever after I cut back my water to only 120 oz I went to 231.0. I really noticed as well in my phase 2 when I didn't drink alot of water my days would either stall or gain slight maybe .5 lb. I also reduced my protein intake greatly so I'm really confused to see if these two things affected me. Anyone have any thoughts?????? My meal yesterday was:

    Breakfast

    Egg omlet with Tomatoes, mushrooms, green peppers and fresh grated cheddar cheese
    3 slices of Kirklands LOW Sodium Bacon (it has no sugars)
    green tea
    30 oz of water between 7:30 and 12:00 pm


    snack

    apple



    Lunch

    8 oz chicken breast w tomatoes/fresh grated cheddar cheese
    30 oz of water between 12:00 and 3:00


    Snack

    grapefruit
    30 oz of water between 3:00 and 5:00


    Dinner

    8 oz salmon filet
    Asparagus w/butter
    apple
    30 oz of water 6:00 and 7:00
