i had my first WI today and it was not as great as i had expected (4 lbs in 6 days). anyhow, tonight my coach and i talked about exercise. he said it's bad on this diet because you will start to burn muscle, which will lower your metabolism. the whole point of this diet is to lose weight while preserving muscle so that our metabolism is increased, meaning that we will keep the weight off in the long run. don't get discouraged. 3 lbs in a week is great!
about the lemons, my coach says to go really easy on the lemon juice because it still has sugar in it (almost as much as sweet corn, which is NOT allowed on the protocol). you might want to reduce your lemon juice a little.
