Thread: My Vegan P3 Experience

Hi Rochelle! I stabilized at 154 so lost 14 pounds total. My body really seems to like to stick between 150 and 155, so while I'd LOVE to be closer to my "perfect weight" of 145, I was pretty happy with the results.
However, over the past year, my weight crept back up to 162. This is completely due to my poor handling of major life events, and I am back for another 30 day round- this time 100% vegan.
I'd love to hear how you did with your vegan round!
I plan to post my progress start to finish since I am going pretty rogue, and don't want to only drink protein shakes the entire time. I've been vegan for 11 years (aside from my 2019 hcg seafood meals), and I absolutely want to do this without animal products this time.

I'm interested in how you did if you happen to see this post from 2 years ago. I want to do Whole foods plant based but low fat for P3.. Would be nice to hear how others did.

Low fat P3 is kind of a contradiction. Part of P3 / P4 protocol is restoring healthy fats, after living on your body's fat store for a month or more. It's also very difficult to keep your Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fats in balance on a plant-based diet.

I would definitely have my vegan Omega 3's from Algae. And normally, I use whole foods for fats. Like a small amount of walnuts, avocado, seeds, Olives... Thank you

Kerry, it's not so much a question of the sources of your fats, but the balance between Omega 3 and Omega 6 fats, which should be 1:1.

You are going through all the effort to do the protocol correctly up to this point, and to get the best possible results, its best to follow the whole program. You can go low fat on day 22 or start any other regimen that seems right to you. At that time, the mechanisms of the HCG are no longer in play, and you've gotten the best chance possible for a lower weight set point.

Ok... I guess I still don't understand P3...haha I do want to stabilize and have it be effective.. I know so many don't stabilize and years ago I ate Low Carb and really struggled... I guess I don't know the "right" way!
