Thread: Anyone loading in January from Grammy's Groupies?

Hi everyone!

I was coasting along in P3 until BAM 1.5 lbs up. I think that I ate some suspicious chicken wings - maybe had some sugar or a higher carb content than was claimed... so frustrated with myself! I seem to have stopped the gain, but I'm trying to do a high protein day today. I found some whey protein that doesn't have any sugar or carbs in it (doesn't have much in the way of good taste, either, not surprisingly ) I'm still having trouble forcing myself to eat, I spend most of the day feeling nauseous (I'm on P3 day 8). Seems to hit every time I eat... If I just eat P2 though I can't get my calories up at all, so I'm just dealing with it. I almost wish I was back on P2!

pagilium, I was all over the place in P2 too. So hard to stay focused when even doing things right throws you off! I know that I was anxious to get away from the weirdness, but looks like I've stepped from one weirdness to another

120s, I wasn't sure from your post - did your house sale not go through this time? We're not having much luck on the selling front either. Hoping to see things pick up in the next couple of months.

Catthai, good luck entering P3!!!

tnmomb - good for you! Staying strong is definitely something to be proud of! I'm sending you a virtual high five

Hope all's well for everyone!!!

kdub, thanks for asking. The buyers that I went to MN for fell through. Then, got another offer, we countered, they accepted. Got the home inspection, a-ok. Next is the appraisal, and if all goes well, we'll close at the end of April. Fingers crossed!

Here's what I typically eat:

Breakfast: cottage cheese with blueberries, coffee with half and half
Lunch: salad (baby spring greens or spinach) with chicken or shrimp and P3 safe dressing, sometimes I add sunflower seeds and egg whites too
Snack: don't always have one, but if I do it's a spoonful of almond butter or a string cheese
Dinner: steak, chicken, or fish with veggies (a variety - mixed salad, cucumber, tomato or squash)

I've had scrambled eggs a couple of times cooked in coconut oil with mushrooms, peppers and tomato too.

I've never really seen any weight gain (or loss) from any of these things, I've had them in various combinations. The only gain I've had was right after those darn wings... I've also tried greek yogurt and I made a mug cake once last week. Nothing in particular makes me feel any worse... but nothing makes me feel better, either. I'm pretty much always nauseous after I've eaten, and it seems to get better a couple of hours later. Of course, by then I'm probably getting around to trying to make myself eat something again. I thought that in the first few days it was just my body adjusting to eating fat again, but now I'm not so sure. Craziness!

Pretty much. If I just take a couple bites I seem to be ok, but if I eat an actual "meal size" portion (4-6 oz meat, 1-2 cups of vegs) then I'm nauseous. A couple times I've probably hit 6 oz of meat just because I liked it and ate too quickly, and those were pretty bad. I never do actually get sick, I just feel nauseous and over-full.
