    Hi Emma~ I'm in FL enduring the cold also. Yes, you were busy yesterday but the key is to do better today. The crazy part is that you were still down! That is fab!!! Let us bow our heads and pray that the scale is nice to you for you last 8 days.

    Emma, LOL, peanut butter is the fruit of life sometimes. But i have to clarify, cheating isn't the same as going rogue! How amazing you didn't gain, hope it stays that way. Some people are very lucky in that way.

    Brandeline, coconut oil is a known candida killer. Could be the coconut oil was causing some die-off. Also, it's something some people have to introduce in small amounts bc it's so powerful, and can cause diarrhea. And there are the few souls who have a coconut intolerance.

    I have been doing my whey protein shakes since day one of VLCD, with one teaspoon of MCT oil. I have one for breakfast. If i'm hungry before bed, i'll have one then. I do not eat fruit or grain to compensate for those calories. I love these shakes. They fill me up and sustain me pretty good. I am thankful to the clinic for introducing them to me. I don't need to go there anymore, but i liked my doctor and the support i got there.

    I've lost 10.6 in four days, but i know about 4-5 of that was water weight. I'm .8 pounds away from LIW. THEN i can really start dieting, lol. I gained A LOT loading, and started 3 over LIW.
    Thankful People: Brandeline

    Beestly, you are so right. I CHEATED. I did not go rouge. I went crazy. I am doing an apple day today in hopes that this offsets my badness.
    I have these whey protien shakes called right light. They are very good and all natural no artifical sweetners but I tried them on P3 and seemed to gain. I may have a Whey problem. If I get to feeling bad again I will give it a try. A protien shake is much better then an all out binge day.

    Two angles, Thanks I'll take all the prayers I can get. I don't deserve them but thank you all the same. What part of FL are you from? I'm around Vero Beach.

    Beestly, that's possible, though I thought I had taken care of most of my candida problem a couple years ago. I did an intensive course of various candida killing herbs at that time, including oregano oil (internal, topical, and suppository type things). I really haven't seen much sign of a reoccurance of overgrowth since then.

    This also isn't the first time I tried the coconut oil and I didn't see the headache with it the other times. I've been cooking with it for a couple weeks already, and had the cocoa crack a few times before we started R2P2. I really haven't added much sugar back into my daily diet either. I find the stevia and agave nectar suits me fine-- I don't like soda pop that much! I use the agave when baking something special, but stevia most of the time otherwise. That said, I did make us eggnogs two days in a row with the agave for load days, and I had a glass and a half of chocolate milk at the buffet on Load day 1.

    Or maybe it was just way more effective when not buried by my generous P4 calorie intake?

    oh, I forgot to add that I forgot to take my shot today. Should I just skip it or should I take it when I get home from work. I warned my coworkers and my boss that I may be a B**ch today. HA!

    Emma~ it is ok. You can skip it if you like and be ok. I skipped days during my first 23 days b/c I thought I was going to do a long round. I was fine and I didn't want to bite anyone. LOL
