4 day stall but can't do apple day--ideas?

[Nicole T]

I'm on day 6 of my 4th round and have NEVER had a stall this long, this early on before. I usually lose like gangbusters well into the second week. No cheats and eating the same exact things I always eat on plan.

I tried an apple day in my second round once and only got to about 1:00pm and it made me violently ill--migraine, nauseous etc... I'm guessing it had to do with low blood sugar spike/drop since the same exact thing happened to me a few years ago when I tried the Master Cleanse (lemon juice, maple and cayenne pepper). I am a known "protein type" so my body just needs protein and doesn't do well with all sugar and carbs.

I know you can also do a steak day but again, I don't think I would do well not eating anything until dinner due to blood sugar issues.

Has anyone tried anything else to break a stall in P2? I was thinking maybe just eating grilled chicken breast all day but staying under 500 cals. Thanks for any advice!

Nicole--I have done egg days on P2. Maybe you can try that one? I know that Biz does that for her clients in bootcamp. It is 6 whole eggs for the day. That is it!! Nothing else to eat--just eggs. You can fry them (no butter!!), have them hard boiled and make egg salad or deviled eggs (no mayo, unless you have Walden Farms) with mostly mustard. They are very diuretic and you will shed water with them. Good luck!!!

I just did a mini-steak day to break a stall (another one!) and it worked for me. I just happened to have an 8 oz steak to eat, but would just as easy have done the egg day. Those work just as well. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

I'm eating eggs as I type this! LOL I guess my instinct was right then. Although I might eat one or two steamed crabs later today but it's still all protein and of course no butter or anything with them. I know it'd be smarter to not eat the crabs and just eat all eggs today but I honestly think I need the mood-boost of eating something really yummy (that's still "legal" for a rogue person We'll see how it goes tomorrow morning!

It advice would be to just wait such a stall out, of an apple day wasn't an option. Eggs are iffy but it's probably not the end of the world, just keep a close eye on how you feel and we'll see what the scale says later

I am never that rogue! You are much braver than me. I would be careful not to overdue the protein though. Even the mini steak day has you limit your protein to the 2 servings per day. So as long as you don't get too much protein, even if that is all you have I would caution you against too much.......
