For me as well our P3/P4 together was invaluable. You're so right in declaring that's where the real magic happens. I so appreciate learning from your wisdom gleaned from previous mistakes. I am planning to do an extended P3 and will likely hang around the forum for a couple of months after this round ends, anyway, so I'll be around to continue to cheer you! It is so helpful to be in good company through this process, especially because I generally don't tell anyone in my life what I'm doing. I mean, my boyfriend and best friends know that I'm doing an elimination diet in waves and they're more or less supportive, but I haven't told a soul about the HCG. I know they'd worry and think I'm insane. But having the support of my doctor and the forum gives me strength to let them do their thing and continue to stay committed to mine.
Also: I'm 100 percent with you. Keto, now that I've figured out how to do it, with some off roading on weekends and special occasions, is, I've decided, the best way forward for me as well. Years ago when I first started playing with Keto, it was a disaster. I ate way too much fat to get into ketosis, and I didn't lose weight or change my body composition at all. I also now understand my body had a whole lot of healing to do in terms of metabolic derangement. I'm in such a different place now. And focusing on eating healthy animal proteins and non-starchy vegetable with not too much worry about how much healthy oils and fats I add in while also not deliberately overdoing it does seem to be the best path. It's been a long road to discover that, but worth every step!
