Correction Day?

amap · 12-11-2010, 07:26 AM

Hello sweet ladies!!! I am on day 5 of P3. The very FIRST day after my LDW...I was up 1.5 over it...and have hovered there for the last week. Today, however, I was exactly 2 pounds over. Does this mean I have to do a correction day? Yesterday, I ate brisket, it was too salty...and my gut hurts today. I haven't gone to the bathroom for a loooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggg time...and I know that is what it is. I'm just not sure what to do. Do you do a steak day (or otherwise) on the day you go OVER 2 pounds...or exactly two pounds??? Or should I just eat clean today??? Thanks!!!

You gained the first day you went without drops? Before you even increased your diet? Yikes! I took my last of my drops Tues and started eating P3 style yesterday and gained a pound today (first morning after increase in calories) But I had lost a pound on my 2 VLCD days after my LDW so I had a little wiggle room.

I don't think you need a correction day until you are 2.5 over LDW.

You do one when you go over the 2 lbs. I think the salt and the lack of bm is the likely cause. Drink lots of water and maybe take a magnesium supplement to get things moving.

I personally would not be doing one if it were me.

Yes, I gained!!! UGH!!!!! I haven't had any wiggle room this whole time. TMI: I was also ovulating the first day of no drops...and for some (obviously for me) that can cause a gain. I think I will just do a lean day today. Exactly what does that involve??? Has anyone tried the apple/cheese day??? two apples, two ounces of cheese x 3 B,L, and D?????

I am sorry, That sucks, I know that I would be freaking out too. Stabilizing is one of my big fears. But then I have freaked out every step of the way so far:blush:

LOL, yep, I'm a freaker too.

Has anyone read about the apple/cheese day?
