[CHEAPPoem]

I read that your hypothalamus is re-set during P2. I have lost almost 20 lbs but had a few cheats (too many breadsticks, a bite of a chocolate dessert) and I never feel cold like some suggest as a side effect your hypothalamus is re-setting.... does this mean mine is not re-setting and P3 will be hard to stabilize? Does your hypothalamus re-set just with a weight loss or with following protocol for P2?

I would love some insight on this from Grammy.

Thanks!

The point of p2 is to allow the hypothalamus to rest by eating a clean, low sugar low carb diet and burning fat for energy.....resulting in weight loss and inches lost. Every time you cheat, you nudge the hypothalamus to work again....sort of like if you wake up every hour on the hour all night long vs sleeping the night through. I don't think an occasional cheat hurts the process, but if it's a daily thing, that's a problem. The cold feeling is a sign, but if you are menopausal or have other hormone issues, you won't necessarily feel it. Hope this helps! .
