So, I'm back at it again, and have been for three weeks now. I'm on my 22nd shot and was doing good until the scale stopped and is now slowly moving in the opposite direction. I've done so many rounds and at this point know that it can be a number of things that has contributed to this, but I really think it comes down to a few new supplements I just added to the mix a few days ago.
Here are all of the factors:
1. I added a few new supplements -- all are good for skin, hair,
So, Week One of P2 came with several ups and downs. For the first time, in week one, I was not losing consistently. I had a big loss on VLCD1, but then no loss the next day... Finally a loss the next day, but then a gain the next. Week ones usually go much better than that for me, so it was a bit off-putting.
Pre-load: 180
VLCD 1: 183.8 (After load)
VLCD 2: 179.2
VLCD 3: 179.2
VLCD 4: 177.4
VLCD 5: 178.0
VLCD 6: 177.4
VLCD 7: 173.4
Round 2 is getting off to a great start!

The Results:

VLCD
Round 2 is only a few days away, and I'm excited about it. I'm comfortable with where I am during this stabilization phase -- 3 lbs. under LIW even after adding sweet potatoes, air-popped popcorn, fruit juice, almonds, dairy, and tons of cocoa crack. Also, my appetite seems to have diminished, which makes me eager to get back to a VLCD.
I'm shocked that I have no desire to gorge on things I might miss during the VLCD, but it's further validation that I've gotten over my addiction
So, I extended P3 since I had a couple of steak days during Week 3, and decided to pull back on fats a bit to see if I could stabilize. Surprisingly, instead of stabilizing, I've been steadily losing weight. Especially since I've incorporated digestive enzymes as apart of my daily regimen.
By no means am I trying to lose weight, because doing whatever it takes to keep this weight off for the long haul is most important to me. But it does feel good to see my body losing weight on its
