The first round ever is always the most effective.

Damn, even when there's over a year between?

Yes, unfortunately. I never had the same results as the first round. I tried many rounds.

Yes. The first will always be the most dramatic. For most people it's the first time they "clean house" so to speak. Subsequent rounds are rarely as effective. For those that have similar losses it's generally because they have a lot of weight to release. And by that I mean more than 75 pounds. At least that's what I see.

Subsequent rounds work, just not as dramatically.

I would suggest adding more lean protein instead of peanut butter. I'd be shocked if that wasn't slowing things down too. You're burning fat on this protocol, and if you want to maximize weight loss you want the fat you burn to be from your body, not dietary. That's why it's lowfat.

Electrolyte imbalances are often quite in your face. Heart irregularities (strange beats, feeling like it's racing, skipping beats etc.) cramping (headaches, charley horses things like that) spasms, dizziness, feeling excessively thirsty, constipation, etc.

Well that sucks..I lost 16# the first time, 8# the second time, which was last year. I was hoping for at least 20# in 45 days but maybe that's not going to happen!

The peanut butter I've only done twice, b/c I didn't have any protein thawed out and it was one of those need it now feelings. I just crashed last night, just got completely exhausted by 8:00 and when I got up this morning to get ready for work I felt really "off". I didn't know if it was too much water yesterday too fast, not enough water, or what. I ate that and then instead of chugging my water, sipped it slowly and by the time I went to work at 9 I was fine. I'm pretty sure I've not had enough water today now so I need to find my balance.

for the "need it now" feeling, is there any way to have hard cooked eggs in the fridge? Something that is just ready to go and won't spoil in 48 hours?

I'd eaten the last we had for supper the night before-figures! But yes, definitely boiling more so I have them on hand for sure. I love them anyway, but that's an easy way to get the protein when I need it. Thanks for the reminder, I better get on that.

Just injected for round 2!

trying to decide if i should do the loading days or not.. I'm pretty sure my fat stores are not depleted :P

unless you've been eating low carb, high fat....I'd load.

ugh... guess i'm off to arbys :P

i didnt load the first time and i expect thats why i was so hungry the whole time.
