Thanks Barb and Ellis!

On my second day of phase 1 and feeling sorta weak and a bit funky.

Would give my right arm for some Starbursts at this point...k, maybe just a digit or two, but surely my whole arm by tomorrow,

!!!

I have a few more questions, I didn't see in the book...are we only allowed to have 'x' amount of peanuts per day, say the 30 pistachios and no more? and if we have the peanuts, are we still allowed to have the 2 tbsp of peanutbutter in the same day? or just one or the other?

Thanks!

It should be one or the other. Or you can have a half serving of nuts and a tablespoon of peanut butter. Nuts have healthy oils but they are still high in calories.

Thanks so much for answering my questions Barb, I really appreciate it!

"...weak and a bit funky..."

Yeah, that pretty much sums up Phase I.
You should try the peanut butter cup if you're dying for something yummy. Not that vegetables aren't yummy...

Thanks! I think I'm starting to slowly adjust here...the second day was the worst so far for me, yesterday not so bad. Fourth day of phase 1 today...and I cheated, I weighed myself, I was going to wait until at least the end of one week but I couldn't help myself

I already lost 4 pounds!! I'm shocked! I mean, I can tell myself...but dang, this came off faster than when I tried to starve myself and was exercising like a nut. I'm sure it'll slow down...but I needed that little extra boost to keep at this...
