    I have had them while in P3 and no gains. I chop them up in the processor, sprinkle some coconut oil and then some real parm cheese and some chopped almonds and roast them, so very good and feeling.

    Ladyrider - that sounds like a great recipe, I'll definitely try it now that I'm in P3. (yea, parmesan cheese!)

    I ate brussels sprouts in P2 as cabbage, no problems. Usually sliced thin in fat free chicken stock with shrimp, a teaspoon of Bragg's liquid aminos, a dash of Tabasco and sea salt. Easy and fast, throw it together and stick in microwave for 5 minutes.

    I hate cabbage, love brussels. When NOT on a diet I brown with olive oil and garlic with sea salt. YUM.

    I love brussels sprouts, BUT, they seem to make me gain every time I eat them. I suspect that I was having trouble with them when I had weight fluctuations during P3 and P4 last round. During some of my stalls this round I was eating everything by the book with the exception of the brussels sprouts. I finally gave them up and I seem to be doing better. What a shame.

    I guess I should add that I got tired of waiting for them to cook, so I started cutting them each in half with a paring knife. They cook faster, and more evenly that way, in my opinion.

    I tried brussel sprouts for the first time a few weeks ago and really liked them and I think I will try them in phase 2 when I start. I hope they don't make me stall though!

    yizquierdo,
    Its a personal thing.

    During P2, I couldnt eat cabbage (I know, not brussels sprouts, but similar) - hurt my stomach and I gained each time. My daughter however, did fine with cabbage and her losses continued at a steady rate. Brussels sprouts will probably have the same type of effect.

    Just wait and see.
