Oh yay, I'm glad I found this thread. I'm all about correction days, and I have used them in my P3s and P4s to stick around LDW while still enjoying some treats. I see you have done the apple and cheese day. I always seem to lose at least 3 pounds with it. I only lose 1.5 to 2 lbs. on steak days, so I'm not crazy about that one. Fage Days are great, but I am also a little tired of the Greek Yogurt all day long.
This week I tried the Fat Fast as a correction day for the first time and dropped 4 pounds overnight. That was Monday and I have maintained the loss and have even lost 1.5 pounds more since then by eating high fat/high protein and as low carb as possible. For the fat fast, the goal is to have six 200-calorie meals comprised of very high fat every two hours. Here's the menu I used for my fat fast:
Meal #1 10 pecans + 2 T of heavy cream in coffee with sweetener and cocoa powder (mocha!)
Meal #2 Lemon Truffles (2T Coconut Butter/Manna + 2t. Truvia + 1 t. lemon juice + lemon zest---melted, mixed together, refrigerated until firm...yum!)
Meal #3 Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bites (1 ounce cream cheese + 1 T. sugar-free PB + 1T heavy cream + sweetener, refrigerated until firm)
Meal #4 1 ounce of macadamia nuts
Meal #5 1 Avocado with blue cheese dressing
Meal #6 1 ounce macadamia nuts
Doesn't that sound awesome? It was very yummy. I felt great all day and enjoyed the food a lot. I wasn't really hungry at all and my energy was good. I was so stoked to see four pounds gone the next day!
Anyway, my short-term goal is to get to 5 pounds below LDW (I finished my last round in October, so I'm in maintenance). Today, I am 2 pounds above my LDW range, which would mean I need to lose 7 to 9 pounds to get to my ultimate goal. I have been going back and forth about going for another round of HCG, but I think I may join you here and see what I can do with these correction days. Can I get lower than my LDW by doing a couple of CDs each week? I'm also going to work out, so we'll see what happens. If it is okay, I'll check in with you and post my results here.
I'm planning an Apple & Cheese Day for tomorrow (Thursday) and then I plan to follow it up with another high fat/high protein day on Friday. I'm actually excited for the nice and light feeling that comes with A & C Day after my rather heavy high fat/protein day today. Oh, here's a little trick I use to enjoy the cheese even more. I cut the cheese into chunks, stick on a microwavable plate and nuke for 1 minute, sprinkle with thyme or rosemary and cook another 30 seconds. It turns into the most delicious cheese "cracker" to have with your apple. It's a nice way to change it up when you are eating so much cheese in one day.
Well, sorry I was so long winded! Thanks for starting this interesting thread.
