I'm new to all of this so I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong area.
I finally pulled the trigger and successfully survived my first week following an alt IP protocol. So far, I am having great success, although the first couple of days I felt horrible

However, I am down 12 lbs for WI today

I even survived hosting my husbands birthday party and cooking vast amounts of food of which most I could not eat. The weird thing is while my brain knows I didn't get to eat the food, I had ZERO cravings for any of the food I saw everyone else eating. Very strange.
