I'm currently VLCD Day 18 and its just starting to be my TOM. Yesterday I was SO hungry and ended up making cocoa crack (which was disgusting, by the way). I ate one piece and I gained 3lbs today!!

Ive been pretty much POP this whole time and I hate that one tablespoon of cocoa crack made me gain so much. I skipped my fruits and Melba today with hopes that I even back out quickly.

Any suggestions for making it through TOM and still losing? I've always been a "hormonal" eater and I've fed my PMS with chocolate and other crap. No way I'm messing up this hard work again, but any suggestions for "treats" that won't ruin my P2 and stabilization?

Thanks in advance!

I am with ya there. Mine is due any day now and I want to eat everything. I would kill for a bacon cheeseburger or a chicken club sandwich. My plan is to not go shopping till its over lol. No temptations that way. Maybe the "frappe" recipe will help ya?
Or a baked apple? I cut the core out sprinkle in some cinnamon and stevia and a bit of vanilla and toss it in the oven till soft. It hits the spot each time for me.

First of all- don't assume that eating the 1 piece caused the 3lb gain. Our bodies- with or without hcg- can fluctuate +/- 4lbs of water weight everyday. Especially since you are starting TOM, or close to it, I would more lean towards assuming the +3 was from that. I do understand how frustrating it is though. Just continue to look at the BIG PICTURE- as long as your overall pattern is losing weight- you are doing just fine.

I wouldn't skip your fruits and melba. You NEED those calories. You need to be eating a full 500 calories every single day.
