(I don't know if I can mentally go 40 injections!) I can't find my book with all this info in it so I purchased Colin W. book. It really has minimal info in there.

Hi KAY D,
Its best to start at whatever your ending dose was on your previous round.

Yes, skip one dose day per week during a 40 dose round. If you know you won't go longer than 30 dose days, you do not need to skip, but I always did anyway---just to keep my options open.

Some find that they can manage a 40 dose round mentally if they take an interruption anytime after the 23rd dose. You can do the interruption for between 4-13 days before starting back in P2 for the rest of your round. However, you need to transition just like you would for P3, so the interruption ends up being a couple days longer.

Hey all. Checking in. I’ve been battling a headache all day and craving sugar bad. I’m going to see if I can find that p2 mug cake recipe on here. Y’all ever try that? There is an egg in the recipe so i think that counts as one protein. Going to investigate.

VLCD6: -0.8
Total net loss: 6.2 lbs

Usually I have bigger losses the first week. I wonder if it’s because TOM will be here soon. Still onward I go!

Good luck everyone! And thank you for your virtual hugs and condolences about my father passing a few months ago. Yesterday was the 4 month mark and it still feels like it was yesterday. I miss him so much and it just plain sucks.
I know he’d be proud I’m working hard in my life to get healthy and be sober (83 days).

Hey all! Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday. I’ve done some chores around the house but otherwise taking it easy.

Savannah, I’m sorry about your loss. One is never really prepared to lose a parent at least that’s what I think. I carry on and do things my dad would be proud of like being a good mom, working hard, laughing and having fun, being healthy/sober, etc. He is missed so much. I’m relieved to know it will get a bit easier with time. And I’m doing some grief counseling as well.

I made P2 mug cake but really guys, i made it yesterday and it wasn’t as good as I hoped I squeed though over having a little chocolate delight in the mid afternoon.

Here is what I did:

2 egg whites

(P2 protocol says you can sub one protein with three egg whites and one whole egg but i didn’t want to forfeit my dinner protein so I just did 2 egg whites)

2 TBS cocoa power
1/2 t. Vanilla extract
2 stevia packets (or you can do like 6-7 drops)

Mix well and microwave for 30 seconds.

Consistency is eggy and it was okay but stevia was weird with cocoa in this form. Maybe it’s because my taste is still off from having covid a year ago.

Give it a try if you dare! Lol
It was nice to have a little chocolate flavor and I was still down this morning.

Here are my stats today:

VLCD 7: -1.8 lbs
Total net loss: 8 lbs (after losing the 5.4 lbs from loading)

I’m thrilled for my losses and hope to keep it up. I have about 45 lbs to get to goal so that will be in two rounds.

Been sticking to only apples for fruit, chicken and tilapia for protein and cucumber, tomato, fennel, onion, romaine, celery for veggies. I have a bunch of Trader Joe speciality spices and spices like curry, chili power, cumin, Garam masala that make food taste pretty good.

Going to have tilapia and asparagus for dinner. And a chopped up apple with cinnamon (microwave for a minute) for dessert.

Phew! Sorry for the ramble. Good luck with the drops on the scale!

U-100 needles come in 3 version: 100cc/50cc/30cc The doses measure the same in all of them. So if you were pulling to 16 units in one, you would pull the same in either of the others.

The different needle length is unlikely to cause an issue in subcutaneous dosing.

Being super hungry on your skip day could mean your dose is a bit low....but only change dose if you were having some hunger issues leading up to the skip day. Generally hunger levels don't change on a skip day because you still have 2/3 of you dose circulating and its enough to keep you from getting hungry. It could just be an anomaly. Especially if eating something took care of it. Could the approach of TOM be a factor?

If you were deliberately eating less food, that could have thrown you off, but missing a couple items here and there because you don't have room to eat them is ok.
