    I took my last dose of HHCG on Monday morning, so P3 starts for me today... I was wondering, would it be OK to have a pasta house salad? Its made with lettuce, red onion, artichoke hearts, diced pimentos, and grated parmasan cheese. I have a bottle of the dressing here:

    cal:160
    Fat: 18g (saturated 3.5g, trans fat 0g)
    Carbs: 1g
    Sugar: 0g

    Ingredients: corn oil, red wine vinegar, filtered water, salt, olive oil, xanthan gum (wtf is that?!)

    I actually have dropped weight from the morning of my last dose so I know I have a little room. I just wanted to get some advice as to if this is OK to have this early...or at all really. Any suggestions would be helpful, thanks!

    Heather- Sounds fine to me. My first day I added cheese back into my diet and was fine the next day. Others are not so fortunate. Try it and if you have a gain the next day you know your body is not ready for it yet!

    P.S. I believe xanthan gum is another type of sweetener.

    I think xanthan gum is a thickener. It sounds good to me. But what is the pasta part? Pasta isn't allowed until P4.

    Xanthan gum is a flavorless thickener. Used often in bottled dressings... sometimes at home too. When I make "cream" dressings at home, I add sour cream instead of xanthan to make it thick...
