    Could some of you P3 vetrans post a sample day food plan (P3) that works for you? It was my first day today and I feel like I had too much fat. Enough protein but too much olive oil for sautee-ing veggies and drizzled on meat/fish. I just feel oily and not very well after feeling so great for 3 weeks. The hcg and clean eating makes me feel so good and energetic. I am feeling lethargic and sludgy today.
    Do you plan out your meals for a couple of days or just go off of safe foods that you feel like those days?

    amy..first couple days I also felt kinda ill...yucky. couldn't wait to eat and then felt bad..maybe try and eat more of what you ate on P2 except lots of it...except the fruits. I avoid fruits first week. add like 1 or 2 new things a day in. I added eggs, cheese, butter, and olive oil in at the beginning and then a few more each day as my taste buds dictated. I'm a planner so I always had some kind of meat or chicken in the crockpot...plenty of all kinds of fresh veggies, and then after first week, lots, and lots of fruit....love it. see what sounds good or you are craving and try to work that in.Don't go hungry and eat whatever you like ...except NO sugar or starches. When I had a crunchy chip attack, I ate pork rinds, sweet tooth,my strawberries with cream cheese, i even made the pork rind pancake a couple times with sugar free syrup...experiment with the okay foods. take your time at the grocery store and try new veggies or fruit...read the labels to see whats okay. Before the protocol I never drank coffee...now I love the flavored coffees over ice with reddi whip on top. The strawberry smoothie is still an excellent treat in P3. good luck
    also in the P3 lounge thread on page 40 or 41 I listed a lot of the foods I eat.

    Thanks for the great information provided. I start P3 tomorrow and am a little nervous about over eating and gaining. I feel more confident about it after the information.

    I will be starting P3 in a couple weeks but I am concerned about weight loss during P3. I have done "low carb" before and lost weight. It is my understanding you should stay within the 2 lb range up or down from lwi. What happens if you continue to lose in P3?

    You won't sweetie :-) If anything, you will be lucky not to gain.

    I am DYING for cheese. Can I have it on.... say day 2 of p3?
    Can I have mayo the first day of p3?
    Can I introduce a new food every day?

    yes you can have cheese on day 2, yes to mayo, no to introducing a new food every day. Give it a day or two with the same foods to see what happens, then move on. Most people start with eggs then move on to cheese and nuts. You will find what your body doesnt like, mine is nuts. Had gains with almond flour and pistachios, so now I leave nuts alone. Today is day 1 of p4 and I still wont do nuts for a while...
    ENJOY!!!!

    I am in P3 Day 18 and will move into P4 on Monday. Here is a typical menu for me:

    Breakfast: Jay Robb Shake (Chocolate Whey) mixed with frozen stawberries and water

    Snack: 1 - 2 Boiled eggs OR 2% Greek yogurt (Fage brand) w/ fruit OR 1/2 advocado

    Lunch: 6 oz chicken and steamed asparagus (or salad w Newman's Light Italian Dressing)

    Snack: Apple w/ almond butter OR advocado

    Dinner: Scallops or shrimp grilled in garlic or coconut oil with vegetables or salad (w Newman's Light Italian Dressing)

    Snack after dinner (sometimes). Jay Robb Shake w fruit OR greek yogurt w fruit

    Other tips:

    I doubled up on P2 foods for the first few days of P3 and did not add anything new except for cream in my coffee in the morning and the Jay Robb Shakes
    I introduced new and potentially allergenic foods one at a time (dairy, eggs, nuts) every 2 - 4 days. The key is to go slow.
    I ate fruit and veggies every day
    I cooked my meats/fish in coconut oil or olive oil
    I did not count calories
    I did not stuff myself, rather I ate until I was reasonably full. I noticed that I became more hungry by the end of P3 but at the beginning of P3, I was not very hungry.
    I did not cheat at all, i.e., I did not have anything with added sugar or starch
    I never eat anything 2 - 3 hours prior to going to bed
    I still drank lots of water
    I used Peter Gillman's Natural Calm magnesium every day to keep the plumbing moving (can buy on-line or health food stores)
    I did something every day to get my body moving (e.g., yoga, walking, and/or weights). And, I will continue to do this.
    I never did a steak day or a protein day (didn't have to because I never went 2 lbs above LIW)

    I am currently .5 lbs under my LIW
