I live in Australia, and I always thought this was a USA thing (I did live in California for a few years) but I've just searched online and apparently it does exist in some grocery stores here, although not widely stocked. I'll go for a hunt. In the meantime, it doesn't seem like it's affecting my losses too much, but I guess it's always a case of never knowing how big my losses could have been had I been POP. But I have been fastidious about no creams or any other accidental/incidental fats to hopefully offset it. My poor skin is not happy with just mineral oil but it can deal with it for another 30ish days or so. :D

Samster, I would guess whole eggs are just fine, if you can't find pre-packaged whites. Those are so commonly available here, that I forgot that isn't the case everywhere.

The US has such a distorted food industry: the gov't put out guidelines over the last 30 - 40 years that totally messed us up. First, it was eat dairy and grain, because we produce a lot of both; then it was the low-fat directive, then the introduction of high fructose corn syrup. Every pre-packaged food seems to have sugar- there are over 40 names for sugar! - plus lots of stuff I can't pronounce. People are so much fatter than when I was a kid!

My family was always thin, but I had knee problems + menopause at the same time, and put on weight for over 10 years. Getting a high A1c reading finally pushed me to research and find HCG - thank goodness! Plus I switched to a whole foods ketogenic diet, and avoid the hidden sugars and starches.

Sorry to hijack your post to rant!

Just checking in before month is over.
Returned from Southlake TX with a successful event but my eating off kilter. Up 2.6 lbs from last Wednesdays weigh in but still under LIW (barely). Started not to weigh today thinking i will wait till i eat clean. That is a trap. Bit the bullet and stepped on scale to be accountable to myself. That act will make me eat clean next few days and hopefully reduce the lbs.
P4 146.8. Liw 147
