SO I haven't Blogger for a couple of days. This is the summarized breakdown:
I was experimenting with the different protocols. One day I did Dr. Lipman's which says you can eat up to 800 calories, and he included a bunch of different sugar few, fat free snacks (only one or two a day), and unlimited salads and veggies. I ate around 750 cal ( I'd have to reread my blog for exactly how many) and I lost 0.6lbs ( I think, I'd have to check again). I decided to go back to Dr.Simeons' original protocol to see the weightloss comparison. Well, I gained 0.4lbs. I decided to try sticking to it, since the majority of the successful dieters seem to. My weigh in this morning was +0.7lbs. So now I'm up a total of 1.1lbs! I guess the 80 min hike-jog I had to take a high school gym class on, may have added water retention weight. ( I had to keep jogging back and forth between the various groups to make sure everyone was ok and behaving and stuff, so I probably ran harder than anyone) I just don't get the gain from the previous day. The only thing that was different was that I tried eating Miracle Noodles for the first time, and they gave me a very bad stomach ache. Some miracle!
I've been reading a blog by a woman on her 6th round. She had some suggestions for p2 gains and stalls. Ok, in her daily blog she records her weight and everything she eats, plus recipes for every meal, so they weren't so much suggestions, as me copying some of the stuff she did during her problem times. She did fff days, but kept her calories under 500, or she combined fff with a mini steak day, still keeping her calories around 500. She called them rogue days, since they are very in-protocol, and may not always work.
I acknowledge that it may not work and cause stabilization issues, but I am trying a fff day today. So I'm eating 32 oz of fat free fage, and 8oz of berries. If this increases my weight, then obviously I won't do this again until p3. If I lose I think I may go back to the Dr.Lipman protocol, but not eat any of his snacks, or any bread, but keep the unlimited salads.
One other reason, my weight might be being mean is that I think my TOM is coming up. (It's a little unpredictible since I started IUD).
This woman's blog also says that she started using hcg patches, and that might have helped her break through one of her plateaus. I don't know...even though I've been on hcg for only 9 days now, I've been doing the hcg diet plan since July 18, and have been on a vlcd since July 21. I'm really staring to get tired of p2, and if you count the weightloss from July 21 until today, I've only lost 10lbs. And less than half of that was from the beginning of my hcg cycle. I'm really reluctant to give up, but I'm so sick of only 500 calorie days, and either no losing, or gaining weight.
I'm totally rambling now.
