Anybody doing EFGT for P3?

I just started reading on the EFGT plan. Seems pretty P3 freindly. Anybody doing it? How's it working?

Curious, what is EFGT??

Eat Fat, Get Thin.

I'll likely be doing something similar when I get to P3. Oh man, I'm just dreaming about chicken skin right now.

through October I tried JUDDD and my Up days were EFGT ratios. I was maintaining pretty well before about 2-3lb above LDW, but when I did JUDDD and EFGT, I dropped back down to LDW within a week and a half and stayed around my LDW until I started my next round just 5 days ago

EFGT is kinda hard at first to remind yourself to have more fat. But I easily found many of my recipes were already EFGT ratios and it was more fun and easy after that.

Fat/Protein/Carb
Artisan Bread 73/24/8
Just Like Stuffed Baked Potato 75/19/7
Oopsie Rolls 72/23/2
Beefy Mushroom Soup is just short by 3%, since it's so high in protein, but a little added fat would fix it. 57/30/9
Cabbage Sausage Soup 66/25/12
Dotties Burger Florentine 70/26/3

Just to name a few...

Haven't tried, but I'm curious about EFGT too... and if it will cause us to continue weight loss in P3, despite the fact that we're *technically* not supposed to be losing then. Anybody have rationalizations for this?

I've also found several of my P3 dishes follow EFGT percentages... it's just I normally do these dishes along with higher protein items, so I just have to watch my protein intake... but I can feel free to up the butter and cream amounts that I use! Sounds good to me!
