I am incredibly frustrated of course. TOM is coming in 4 days, so maybe its water? I don't know. I can do an apple day but it seems the consensus is that they don't do anything. I'm sticking to protocol. The only sweeteners I use are packets of Stevia or Stevia drops and that is limited. I might use 4 packets a day total and yesterday was the first time I used the drops. I'm tired of chicken and steak but its worth it when seeing drops... how do you mentally get through the stalls and physically break them?

The first 2-3 weeks on P2 I was eating beef and chicken. I found that I can't have as much beef as I was eating and keep good loses. It took me several weeks to get into a groove and know what I could eat. I switched to mostly fish & chicken with beef just a few days a week. Then my loses started being consistent.

I only use one packet of Stevia a day so I don't know what 4 would do. If in doubt, cut it out and see what happens.
