Alternative Correction Days

I had noticed in some blogs that people did egg days or "clean" days instead of steak day. I wasn't sure what that meant but I got some information from a friend and researched and finally found what you all meant.

Apple and Cheese Day

   *2 oz of cheese and 2 apples 3x a day

Egg Day

   *Only eat eggs all day... 8-12 eggs

Chicken Day

   *Roast an entire chicken, eat throughout the day.

Nut Day

   *High fat nuts all day, about 2500 calories worth

Shake Day
  *Still researching

High Fat Day
   * Still getting info


I found a lot of the information on the Miracle Skinny Drops website and info through fellow blogger. ;)

Since you shouldn't do consecutive steak days (or correction days) you should be able to lay out a plan to get down to your LIW by alternating alternative correction days.

Monday- Steak Day
Tuesday- Eat P3 foods but stay within your BMR calorie range
Wed- Apple/Cheese Day
Thursday- Eat P3 foods but eat more then your BMR
Friday- Egg Day

And so on...

I am going to try this. I have a sneaking suspicion I've figured out a potential cause for my inability to stay within the 2 pounds of my LIW. I don't even want to say it (write it). Nut intolerance. Eek! I love nuts! Almond flour is the only flour I use now that I'm gluten free. I plan to test it once I get within my LIW (my true LIW) and then I plan to have a nut day. The inflammation in my gut should lead to significant water retention and OBVIOUS weight gain. So far I've done an apple/cheese day, then ate at my suggested calorie intake for my weight (appx 1900 calories), and today I'm doing egg day. NO NUTS.

I had this wonderful blog about alternative correction days with all these fancy links all done up pretty and when I went to publish the post it disappeared. So I'll have to work on it again!

I think I might have found something that makes my weight go nuts... nuts. I'll post more later.
