Also, when can you add bacon, sausage, etc?

Okay, thanks I will. So far on maintenance, I seem to encounter problems with nuts and sometimes cheese. The starches have gone well so far. I am still three pounds below my LDW!!!

Hi Linda,

I am on R1P4D27. I know that at this point I can begin adding in natural sugars but how are honey and agave nectar classified. Can I begin adding them slowly as well?

Okay, I had a boiled egg with it. I am still suffering through strep throat so I havent had much of an appetite but I have been trying to make sure I have protein with each meal. Even though the...

Hey Linda,

Any thoughts on the previous post?

Linda,

I am on R1P3D12 is it okay for me to have a fruit smoothie for breakfast? I used a frozen (:-( I know) berry medley mix, no sugar added. It contains blackberries, raspberries,...

Okay, glad I asked first. Thanks!

Hi Linda,
Today is R1P3D10, may I have honey in my tea?

Thanks to both of you. I actually didn't have the energy to make the soup so I have just been drinking lots of fluids and had a few slices of lean turkey. Feeling better today but my throat is on...

Hi Linda,

I am on R1P3D4. I caught a cold over the weekend and I feel horrible. I am not hungry but would really like some soup! Is it too soon to have canned soup, vegetable? If so can I make...

Oooookkkkaaaayyyy, I'll wait..... :-(. Thank you Linda.

Linda,

Hi Linda,

Any word on the HCG Gum? :-)

The members page mentions gum available for purchase through the HCG website but I have not been able to locate it. Is this still available?

Ok, thanks.

Linda, it appears I purchased Pummelos instead of grapefruits. Are these okay to eat since they are in the grapefruit family or do I need to go back for the grapefruit?

Well, that actually helps. Thank you.

I have a question about the vegetables. The website says "one large handful" of the following veggies. Can you quantify that in terms of ounces or grams, please?

Yeah, I know, you told me.... I was okay before but I will get some today! LOL, thank you so much. I am down 11 pounds so I am really trying to stay on track. Thanks again.

Well, yes I probably did touch something with oil since I was doing my hair and likely touched something old that had traces of oil. I am using salt, pepper, minced garlic (I know you said not to...

So today is D17 of P2 and this morning I was up .5 pounds. I know you mentioned stalls but to actually go up was a bit confusing. Any suggestions or ideas about what may have happened? I have been...

Okay, thanks for all your help.

Okay. So then is it better to stick with the Melba Toast or can that cause a stall as well?
