So, I extended P3 since I had a couple of steak days during Week 3, and decided to pull back on fats a bit to see if I could stabilize. Surprisingly, instead of stabilizing, I've been steadily losing weight. Especially since I've incorporated digestive enzymes as apart of my daily regimen.

By no means am I trying to lose weight, because doing whatever it takes to keep this weight off for the long haul is most important to me. But it does feel good to see my body losing weight on its ...

It wasn't until the 3rd week of P3 that I started having trouble stabilizing. Ended up doing 2 steak days, and it appeared that things that I've done well with since the first week of P3 were starting to turn on me! But after switching up a few things, I think I may have discovered what works best for me.

For over a week, my weight continued to fluctuate over into the 2+ pound territory even though I was eating foods that were obviously approved in week 1 of P3. In an effort to improve ...

Hi y'all, I have been using Dr. Simeons protocol with drops since 2014 successfully completing 9 rounds. I firmly believe it takes time to lose and stabilize in order to not regain. I have lost over 55 lbs going from 167 to 110 lbs in 1.5 years. But I had not learned everything I needed to from my poor relationship with food. That is for another post what I needed to learn. So I kept gaining back 10 to 15 lbs. This last round I vowed to what it takes to not regain. My struggles are in Phase ...

Your hypothalmus has been undergoing adjustment and healing during P2, so it will be sending you hunger signals. It will be a new experience for some. You have the opportunity to get in touch with those signals in P3. Its important to realize that there are different hunger levels. Basically:

Thoughts of food: You are involved in something else and suddenly you start thinking about food. This is the beginning of hunger.
Food looks good: If you are already thinking about ...

O my...what a lovely fat bomb for P3!
WARNING: These are addictive!

I've adapted the original recipe to use my xylitol blend as a sweetener, and shortened up the steps some. If you want to check out the original recipe and watch a video on how to make them, here are the links:

I was very seriously going to stop last Friday, feeling sorry for myself with dental work, a stall, thrush (TMI I'm sorry) and a cold starting... Very glad i didn't stop!

Few more days to go... I'm starting to really crave fat and am hungry more often... not long!

Since St. Paddy's day is approaching, I thought I'd post my recipe for green eggs.

Seriously good for P3 or anytime. If the amount of mayo freaks you out, you can just use more guacamole and add a bit of vinegar or lemon to replace the acid in the mayo. But c'mon people...its P3....go for the mayo!

GUACAMOLE DEVILED EGGS

15 hard boiled eggs
1/2 small red or sweet onion, chopped
1 tsp. ground chipotle pepper
1/2C. real mayonaise ...

These make a great breakfast. Don't you get tired of eggs and meat for breakfast? I do.

PEA PROTEIN COOKIES (my version- makes 6 cookies):

Pea Protein (I use the unflavored NOW brand-- 24 grams protein per scoop, no carbs, no fat)

1 ripe banana (you can substitute avocado--just add some sweetener and leave out the other fats)
1 scoop pea protein powder
1/2 scoop golden flax meal
1 tablespoon of almond butter, pumpkin seed butter, or coconut ...

I know I run the risk of alienating people by *****ing about this, which is why I'm keeping it to my own blog rather than being argumentative in the forums. Because, truly, I'm more confused than anything else. I firmly believe that everyone should do what's best for them and be adult enough to make their own choices, but it doesn't mean I always understand those choices.

I feel like many of us have fallen into a mindset of "I've been fat/overweight/depressed/unhappy/unhealthy/FillInTheBlank ...

Something I've always wondered about, and even moreso with the recent influx of first-timers: Fats. On a basic level, I get it. They're not the enemy. Many of them are good for you in moderation. When I'm not in P2, I definitely don't cut them out of my diet (moderation and type of fats is key).

But as many people that have done more than one round will readily tell you, they're shocked at how much food and fat they can eat in P3 and P4 while not gaining an ounce (and sometimes ...
