So everyone, from personal experience, I will tell you that if you do this diet you really do need to STICK to it! When I went off it last week, I only lost 4. Granted, that is a pretty good number still. But if you aren't really really good on your off days, you will probably gain it all back.
I did it again this week (Tuesday-Thursday) and I stuck with it. I lost SEVEN (7) pounds again! It was very exciting. And honestly, doing it this time all the way through, was so much easier. I feel like the first two rounds were practice and I found all the sweet spots.
I chewed a lot more gum and sucked on a few sugar-free candies. I had steak for the first night, which is really so good and such a treat. Then throughout the week, if someone offered lunch, I'd decline. If someone offered me something very small, like a bit of their really awesome TORTILLA pizza, then I'd take a little bite. But I didn't have more than LITERALLY a bite of what was offered. It gave me a quick taste, but not enough to really make a difference. I had a bite of jerky the last night, too. And for lunch on the last day, I ran out of wheat bread. I used an english muffin instead. On half I had the hard boiled egg, on the other half, I used the tiniest amount of butter and enjoyed a buttered, toasted snack. It was great.
I still don't really feel like I'm dying or being deprived. It is a really good choice to do it in the middle of the week too. It still gives me a few days to go out or be social at work, but nothing that interesting happens Tuesday-Thursday, so I don't miss out on BBQs or anything else fun!
I really am enjoying this and I expect to net at least 5 this time around :)
