Round 2 Phase 3 Day #4
Water Retention Diet #1
I haven't been cheating but I've been eating way too much food even if it's on the protocol. I'm still getting very hungry all through out the day. To my dismay I couldn't reintroduce milk! :( It gave me some very unpleasant side effects. So I ended up making my own almond, walnut and coconut milk. They turned out pretty good. I think I'm so desperate to eat whatever that even the coconut milk was yummy. I hate coconut.
I've also noticed a lot of water retention in my hands and ankles. I noticed that the first couple of days I was getting off the HCG I was really anxious and my fingers were a bit swollen. I also noticed that my left arm (which was the one I broke and is still partially paralyzed) was going numb and falling asleep. Maybe the water rention was causing some swelling along that nerve who knows.
Yesterday I did a steak day and went down about a pound. I did eat a couple of sugar free almond flour zucchini muffins and coconut flour donuts (sugar free home made). So I can't blame the steak day for not taking me back down to the weight I was 3 days ago. LOL I'm still feeling the swelling in my hands and feet and will try a the water retention diet on Dr. S's protocol.
Breakfast:
2 eggs
Lunch
"Huge" steak
Dinner
"Huge" steak plus a helping of cheese
In addition, I"m going to call my doctor for a new prescription on the diet pills. No way I'll be able to stay away from food. I'll try to ween off of them once I'm noticing I can get the hunger under control. Again, I'm not an advocate of a pill popping life and I'm very much aware that's not the way to go. I also don't want to inject myself 3 x a day for my insulin resistance again. It's been under control since I started the HCG protocols and diets.
I finally got some pictures to post up of some of the recipes and will be posting sesame seed crackers today.
I really regret how your body is reacting. Let us know what the Dr. says about the swelling. Phase3 is essential to keeping the weight off. Have you tried walking for about a half hour a day? Sending you some healing energy.

Thank you for the healing energy. I'm bad about walking. Since I roller skate so much for roller derby I get lazy about walking. I'm not too surprised that it was that difficult and that my body went a bit wacky but I'm sure I'll get it back on track in phase 3. This time I won't cut phase 4 short before starting phase 2 again though.
