Thread: 36 days on P3 and scared to move onto P4

I feel like I have had a difficult time stabilizing closer to my LIW, as my weight has gone up to 123.8 a few times. I have done two steak days during this time and lose about 1.5 pounds each time.

I am eating the same as my first P3 round, where I stabilized below or at LIW. With that comparison in mind, I feel like since I can't easily stay within two pounds of my LIW, I am rather nervous to move onto P4.


1. Should I adjust my goal weight to have a little more flexibility?
2. What P4 foods should I try first? And should I try one food, wait two days before I try another one?
3. I do find that the handful of times I exercised, it seems to help my weight, unlike when I tried to exercise in P2. And also, avoiding eating or drinking after7 PM. Would this be helpful as I transition to P4?

Thank you for your feedback.

i agree with Leez that u r stabilizing well. i tend to stick to my modified P3 adding moderate starches and sugars only for special occasions. i dont do much dairy and not cheese every day as when u r adding starches u shoukd decrease some of the fats u added in. i usually start with small portion of sweet potato. if i eat bread i eat it in the morning and skip the fats or only eat half slice toast with. utter. try it a few times. you can always scale back.
