As you've seen, it's not on the original protocol (or anything like it, as it wasn't available when Dr. S wrote the protocol).

That said, I've tried a bit in this round (R3) and have still lost. But I will say that I lose better when eating "clean" (no Walden, all on-protocol foods, low sodium, not too many recipes with things like Braggs Aminos) than when I include these things. And I'm not talking about my next day opinion/analysis of those losses. I'm comparing a full week of eating "clean" versus a full week of adding some of these things. Overall, I just lose better without.

In addition, being on R3 I'm a firm, firm believer that R1 should be as close to protocol as you can manage. If it comes down to using a little Walden on your salad or a full blown cheat, opt for the Walden. But if you can power through it and manage without, that's preferred, IMO. I tend to be one of those folks where a little bit leaves me wanted a lot more so I try my best to avoid it altogether.
