Round 3 Phase 4 Day 1


No more meat for me!
For the Steak Day I used a Laura Lynn brand (organic) rib eye from Kroger cooked on the Foreman Grill (available at my Amazon MiniStore on the http://HCGCoach.com site, just click the title of this entry). It only resulted in a 1.6 lb release, so it appears that the protein source is not the issue. It is likely a combination of the fact that I am apparently experiencing menopause (booHiss!) & I allowed my weight to climb too close to the set point that gave me so much trouble in P2 this round. So I was careful yesterday and still had a pound increase this AM! Still under LDW by half pound, though. We shall see how it goes tomorrow at the weigh in. I pray it won't be another Steak Day. I will do the Pudding from now on, though.
I discovered that there is glycerine in the stevia I was using (plain stevia, not SweetLeaf - this is what I get for buying it on sale) which is an alcohol sugar & can cause problems. I have stopped using it as of today & pray to find that was a contributor.
I am still sticking to P3 menus just until I am stabilized. I may start adding carbs like beans soon if I can slide with no 'Steak Days' for a while.
