P2 Macadamia nuts

So, the "macadamia nut thing" that I posted about earlier led to some research. Not only did I discover that the macadamia nuts are supposed to help with ketosis but found that 1-2 T of coconut oil 2-3 times per week is supposed to do the same thing. In fact, I've also read about one person who's combining the two... No results yet, of course, but that's the plan for that particular person.

Lots to try out next P2!

I think this is really interesting because, after my 13 day stall (even with 2 apple days), I only broke the stall by going off "historic protocol" and tried an egg day. Not only did that restart my body releasing weight, but I lost at a higher rate during the second half than I did the first half (averaging, of course). If egg yolks are so high in fat and I got great results like that from them, I'm thinking the high fat content in nuts and coconut oil should do the same thing.

Hmmm. Yes, lots to try out next P2...

P2: macadamia nut thing

I found this on another forum that was pretty intriguing. Anyone tried it out? I think I'll add it to the list of "to-dos" for January's P2 round. :)

"wow - i tried the macadamia nut thing yesterday (just plain, not mixed with cocoa+coconut oil). mid-week losses had been miniscule, but when i checked in this morning i was down -1.3! and i even ate extra fruit yesterday too!

"it's a trick that some people try and some people have good luck with on p2. i'm in my 5th week of p2 (round 1...i am only doing 1) and just heard about it. supposedly, if you add about 5-10 mac nuts to your intake, just 1-2 times a week, it can help break a stall or a gain, or just speed things a long a bit. it's a risk, because they are high fat (but good fat). i ate probably 10 of them yesterday for the first time, and they were delish."

If you've tried it (or are willing to give it a shot and let us know how it goes), please report in!! :)
