Thanks everyone!

There's pros and cons. I swapped out my second fruit right off the bat in R1 for a hard boiled egg in the morning. If you do give up your fruit, be sure to get lots of veggies in, for the fiber and also because your brain needs at least 20 gr of carbs to function properly. The downside of going without the fruit & melba in lieu of protein is that you may have difficulty later when you try to add carbs back in.

Hi, thanks for the reply! Since I'm in Ketosis then my brain should not be using carbs, but I see what you mean about the fiber issue and also about stabilizing later. You know what, the protocol has worked great for me for 2 rounds and I should not go and change it on my final round just in case I cannot stabilize properly. I'll have my apple

Thanks so much!
