I remember ten years ago, I was not alone in cabbage causing gain. It truly leaves me sad! lol For the slaw... I take a standard bag'o-slaw... shred or dice apples... add balsamic and stevia (to taste) and chill overnight. I top ...

That’s a lie. I had two. A real one uses grapefruit juice but there are several skinny mixes available that are 1 to 5 carbs/ sugars. ...

LOL! My struggle was with how MUCH food do I eat since I am in P3 and trying to get calories in yet stick to high protein so I don't kill myself and STARVE all day \o/ ...
Originally Posted by Leez do you ever eat a dessert or something you shouldn't Maybe a bite or two if it is something I really want.

Most sugary desserts are way to sweet for me now. What are your favorite high carb/low fat meals? I like to do lean proteins in the air fryer coated with a smidge of oil and dusted with ...

Dubbs- I usually drink vodka/soda with lemon and a stevia based sweetener or tequila with limes, water and stevia, or like Tracy mentioned, ...
Originally Posted by Leez It has to be water. You haven't eaten 17,000 more calories than you've burned, and that's what it would take to gain 5 pounds of fat.

Adding pink salt helps water hydrate your tissues better so that your body will release extra. You might try grammy's inflammation smoothie. That ...

Originally Posted by Leez It can be an issue, especially if you start introducing starches right away. Are you starting to introduce starches in P4? If so, you might want to leave a couple days in between testing. P4 is mostly about testing the amount of starch you can add back into your routine without gaining. If you find that any amount of starch triggers a gain, it can help to do a month of the FMD diet to desensitize you to carbs. I found that it worked pretty quickly to do that. I ...
