Egg Day Phase 3

Maintaining your weight is the key ingredient to success with any weight loss program.  We often wonder what triggers a gain and how do we stop it.  Dr Simeons give us a few key points to consider in Pounds and Inches.  You must realize it is a lifetime maintenance and not get complacent in your desire to maintain your hard earned weight loss.

An ex-patient should never gain more than two pounds without immediately correcting this, but it is equally undesirable that more than two lbs. he lost after treatment, because a greater loss is always achieved at the expense of normal fat. Any normal fat that is lost is invariably regained as soon as more food is taken, and it often happens that this rebound overshoots the upper two lbs. limit. Pounds and Inches

I am going to start a series on Correction Days and also a breakdown of all the important sections in Pounds and Inches.  I learn something every time I read it and think breaking it down in nuggets will help us master our results.

Part 1:  Correction Day= Egg Day

Having an egg day which I have personally tried and seen the results from can generate a 1-2 lb loss the next day.  Unlike the Steak Day you can eat all day long, but only eggs.  No fruits or vegetables allowed.   Eggs are the most balanced protein and fat available and is a natural diuretic.   You are allowed to add mayonnaise, butter, cheese and sugar free relish.  Eggs whites are better.  On my egg day I mixed it up with boiled eggs throughout the day with some yolk included, egg salad for lunch and a big omelet for dinner.  You can also have deviled eggs or try this easy poached egg recipe. I showed a negative release of 1.8 loss the next morning.   Total eggs should be around 8-12 eggs for the day.

    I did this and lost 1.8 pounds! I thought I would try it since I wasn't 2 pounds over LDW. Yea! Thank you so much!

    • Karen on July 10, 2013 at 4:04 am

      How often can you do an egg day. I need to lose 3 lbs. I got home from a trip and realized I was 3lbs over my 2lb limit.

      I am doing an egg day today but can I do them back to back or do I need to do a regular day in between?

      • admin on August 6, 2013 at 11:42 pm

        as often as needed when over +2 lbs

      I don’t eat steak or eggs what can I use for correction day on p3?

      • admin on July 8, 2013 at 8:33 pm

        you can do high protein days or eating clean days

  3. KAMMM on June 29, 2010 at 4:23 pm

    Has anyone had success just eating protein of one type all day?

  4. carolensminger on June 30, 2010 at 12:09 am

    I have done many high protein days, mostly from different sources and always lost about .6 – .8. I did one day that was mainly chicken, but I lost more on an egg day.

  5. KAMMM on July 2, 2010 at 8:29 pm

    Thank you. I have lost as much as 3 lbs on egg only day. I was just looking for variety once in a while. Do you eat any vegetables or an apple on your protein day?

  6. carolensminger on July 2, 2010 at 8:45 pm

    I usually have veggies, but not fruit on these days.

  7. KAMMM on July 4, 2010 at 3:09 pm

    Thank you for response.

  8. carolensminger on July 11, 2010 at 1:06 am

    sorry for the delay. I had cheese on my eggs and I still did well. Hope you were successful too 🙂

    • Brooke on October 19, 2011 at 6:00 pm

      Carol…I’ve read some confusing comments about stabilization I’m hoping you can answer.  I’m in about 1 1/2 weeks into stab.  3 lbs over 2 Lb limit.  Have been traveling (have stayed wtihin my 2 lbs) and even though they said NO, I know there was sugar in what i had for dinner last night.  So today I’m doing my first correction day with eggs.  Here are my questions:
      1) If I don’t get back within two LBS should I do another egg day tomorrow?  Or is there something else I should do?’
      2) When I get back within the two LBS of goal do I need to start my 21 days of stabilizing over again? Or do I just continue  from where I am?

  9. Ananetweb on July 21, 2010 at 8:55 pm

    When you say egg salad, means that i can eat (Letuce, tomato), on egg day?
    So, you say no Veggies.
    I just want to be sure, what can i have for salad on egg day.
    Thank you.

  10. Dtbetty on September 24, 2010 at 5:29 pm

    I just started Phase III yesterday. I didn’t eat any starches/pasta or potatoes and still gained 2.6 pds, can you overeat on phase III. I ate tuna with mayo pickles and onion for lunch and a taco salad for dinner.

    • Shawna Culp on September 24, 2010 at 5:38 pm

      Check the mayo and the taco salad for hidden sugars? Also make sure you are easing in new foods and continuing adequate water intake. Please feel free to email me and I can help you try and narrow down the problem 🙂

    Thanks for yur great website Carol. I appreciate all of you great information. On the egg day, do you have to limit your water intake as you would on an apple day? Thanks for your help.

    • Shawna Culp on October 4, 2010 at 3:14 pm

      Thank you! No drink your normal water. Eggs are a natural diuretic so you do not want to be dehydrated. Egg day works great too!

  12. alekat on October 4, 2010 at 5:08 pm

    Thanks for your help Shawna. I am on R1P3 Day 4 and my weight has continued to go up every day in this phase. I am doing the egg day today and hope that will correct it. I am up 3 lbs. from my LDW but I am also in the middle of my TOM so I don’t know if it’s the food or TOM. I have been logging my food and I’ve been on avg. about 1,100 cal/day and that’s a struggle to consume since I’m not really hungry. Do you think my gain could be due to not enough calories and fat? Yesterday I only logged 963 cals (25% protein, 60% fat, 15% carbs). Please help if you can. I really want to be successful on this plan. I lost 22 in R1P2 in 30 days. Thank you.

  13. alekat on October 4, 2010 at 11:39 pm

    Ok, last question I think. I checked out calorie count site and it shows I need to consume 1885 cal/day to maintain. So would this be something to shoot for…60% protein, 35% fat and about 5% carbs, then I should be ok???? I can’t thank you enough for your time.

    • Shawna Culp on October 4, 2010 at 11:55 pm

      I would be comfortable anywhere between 1500 and 1800 calories then.
      Everyone is different on their size,height etc that is why it is always
      better to check to see what your calorie count should be to maintain. You
      are obviously not getting enough which will cause your body to go into
      starvation mode and gain or hold onto the bad fats.. 🙂 Go slow and drink
      lots of fluid. P3 is the best place to be..

    I need a weight correction day but I am concerned about consuming the amount of calories shown in the recommendations. I am a very small person but struggle with my weight and can easily reach 10+ over my ideal of 110 very quickly. Yesterday I consumed 1600 calories with 52% protein calories and gained 2lbs. in one day! What could be going on and how do I know how many calories to consume on protein day? I am terrified of gaining more today if I eat 2500 calories!

    On another occasion I had a 770 cal steak, 1 apple, the juice of one lemon, and 200 cal of wine and gained 2 lbs. Does that make sense?

    Last question, how many oz. is a “huge steak”?!

    • Anonymous on October 6, 2010 at 2:57 pm

      I didn’t count calories on my steak days. I just ate a steak that was huge and ate what I could. I had to do a steak day on my first round and I wasn’t sure I did it right, but the next day I was down over 2 lbs, so it worked.

      When I did a protein day I stayed within the 1500 calories but ate things that were high in protein.

      You may have a gain because a certain food you ate was one of the ones your body don’t like, or maybe TOM is coming?

      • KAMM on October 6, 2010 at 4:42 pm

        I am post-men; maybe 5 triscuits can cause a problem? Only 130 calories…well, I am trying egg day today.

        I noticed a small amount of mayo is allowed on egg day but I can’t find any mayo with less than 1g of sugar. Is it ok to use a small amount of that?

  15. KAMM on October 6, 2010 at 12:57 pm

    I posted a question about gaining weight on steak day and concern over the number of calories suggested on weight correction days. I noticed an email confirmation that showed me as unregistered but that is because I forgot my onine ID. I hope you will stil answer! How do I find out my online ID that I used to register?

    Thank you!

    • Ivy on December 17, 2010 at 7:43 pm

      Interesting you asked this. I just did a steak day yesterday and stepped on the scale this morning to see a 2 lb gain!! I don’t think I’ll ever do another steak day!

  16. alekat on October 6, 2010 at 5:06 pm

    Another question for you…Why is Ezekiel bread allowed during P3? Thanks for your help! You guys are awesome!

    • Anonymous on October 6, 2010 at 6:52 pm

      It’s not made with flour so it’s not a starch. type in Ezekiel into the search field and you will see a few of my tips talk about this as well as some recipes. Enjoy … guilt free 🙂

  17. Shawna Culp on October 8, 2010 at 6:40 pm

    The only correction day in Phase 2 is the Apple Day which is actually geared
    towards stalls not gains. Check your journal and eat clean the next two
    days, drink lots of water as it could be water retention if you haven’t
    cheated and stay on course. One into the P3 your goal will be to stabilize
    your last dose weight for 3 weeks straight with no fluctuations 2+ up or
    below your LDW. You could continue and do the 43 days if you are wanting to
    lose more weight.

    I ended up gaining on my egg day 🙁 which was yesterday

    I was up 2lbs from LIW and am now 2.4 above

    I had 3 scrambled eggs with a slice of swiss cheese and three hard boiled eggs for dinner. I can’t believe I gained. Any advice? I guess I have to do a steak day today.

    • Shawna Culp on October 18, 2010 at 1:45 pm

      Yes, I do 🙂 something else is causing your gain.. Are you retaining fluid, cycle time? Are you drinking enough water?

  21. Rachel on October 26, 2010 at 3:43 pm

    My first egg day (last wednesday) I lost more than 1lb. 🙂 Then I had to do another one a couple days later and I GAINED (!) more than 1 lb. So then I did a steak day and lost .8. and had a regular day yesterday and gained 1lb. I am so confused! I have been feeling sick and think I might have an ear infection (could that be messing up my weight?). I am doing another egg day today and hope it works like it did the first time. I am currently 3.6lb over my LDW. I don’t know what to do.

    • Shawna Culp on October 26, 2010 at 3:47 pm

      Your body is probably retaining fluid because you are sick. I would eat
      clean for a few days p2 type foods, fruits and veggies only and still
      average 1500 calories. Make sure your fluid intake is adequate at 2 liters
      per day. This should resolve itself. Our bodies retain fluid when
      something else is going on like sickness, pms or menstrual cycle is near.

      Shawna Culp

      • Rachel on October 26, 2010 at 5:22 pm

        Thank you so much, Shawna. I will do what you said. And also see a doctor for some antibiotics today. I hope medicine won’t mess up my weight. thank you 🙂

  22. Randirandom on October 29, 2010 at 4:57 pm

    Can you use Light Miracle whip as the mayo for the egg day??? Its all I have

  23. Netti_wild on November 3, 2010 at 4:06 pm

    can i do 2 egg days in a row?

    • Shawna Culp on November 3, 2010 at 4:10 pm

      Yes but you might not get as good of results the second day. How much are
      you over LDW and are you pms or on your monthly cycle? This can cause you
      to retain up to 5 lbs of temporary fluid. Egg days are a great natural
      diurectic.

        Thank you Shawna. I did an egg day today…felt a little like Cool Hand Luke. But I did it. Eggs only (with salt and pepper) until dinner when I had scrambled eggs with a little cheddar cheese. I feel really bloated and just got on the scale and it is 131 and feel like crying (My LDW = 126). But, it’s a night weight. Also I had coffee and tea with Stevia. Hope that’s o.k. If not, I’ll do a steak day tomorrow if I show no release. Oy. P3 is hard! Especially when Thanksgiving happens in the middle of it!!

            I am down .5 pounds. Yay! Being 5’0″ tall, it feels like a full 5! 🙂 I am going to do a “clean day.” I assume that means I can eat whatever I want from the P2 menu?

  27. ksmcconell on December 12, 2010 at 11:50 pm

    Back again needing a correction day. Today is my first day of P4. I hadn’t weighed myself for the last couple days (lesson learned) and am up 4 pounds (yikes) from my LDW. I did an egg day today. Is it o.k. to do a steak day tomorrow? Or should I wait a day.

    (Drinking lots of water, detox tea, and it’s almost my TOM.)

    • Shawna Culp on December 12, 2010 at 11:56 pm

      I would wait try not to do too many correction days consecutively .. Try to correct by eating clean and realize TOM is a beast and can cause that kind of gain all by himself 🙂

  29. Michele on December 14, 2010 at 2:47 pm

    Shauna I have a question: According to Pounds and Inches, the Steak Day is:
    Two eggs in AM, steak for lunch, steak for dinner, followed by a helping of cheese”. However, why do I read from so many sites that Steak Day is only one steak for dinner with a raw tomato? I’ve recently gained a few lbs on P4 and need some direction so I don’t mess up and further!

    What is the correct way in your opinion to do a Steak Day and if it is different that Pounds and Inches, why?

  30. Shawna Culp on December 14, 2010 at 3:45 pm

    I’m doing an egg day today. I’m planning on having an omelet for dinner Can I put onions and peppers in the omelet or is that a no,no. what did you put in your omelet?

    Thanks so much for your great tips!

    • Shawna Culp on December 28, 2010 at 3:56 pm

      Onions would be ok.. Skip peppers for now.. I did boiled eggs for breakfast, egg salad for lunch with mustard and a little very little mayo..

    • Anonymous on January 3, 2011 at 1:44 pm

      10 is a lot over a short period. Were you in P3? Did you maintain for at least 3 weeks solid? If your body was set then it should come right off through correcting. After your egg day you may want to do some detoxing and eating really clean.

      • Mandielledge on January 3, 2011 at 3:34 pm

        I’ve been in p4 since sept. and maintained ok with a slow increase here and there. I did maintain within 2lbs for three weeks. I just went crazy starting around Thanksgiving. What type of detoxing and eating clean are you talking about? Thanks so much

        • Anonymous on January 3, 2011 at 4:35 pm

          Look in the Marketplace. There are a few detox supplements. Either Michael’s or Fist Cleanse – but don’t do the Advanced one if it’s your first time. Eating clean would be eating all the foods that don’t trigger a gain for you. A lot of veggies, mainly green, leafy veggies. Eat a few eggs per day ( the yokes help cleanse the liver), drink some lemon juice frist thing in the morning and Apple Cider Vinegar before your meals. I also suggest to remove dairy from your diet. Also, read through my quick tips. You will see a link on the right column under Categories. I have a few detox and liver cleaning tips there. The liver is our main fat burning organ, so it’s important that we clean it.

          • Maryisnotcontrary on June 5, 2012 at 10:40 am

            How much lemon juice? and how much ACV? I’m at R2P3D51. I think i have used the correction days a little too much when i would eat poorly and wasn’t happy with my weight, but I was less than 2lbs over the set point. Now I’m having a real hard time doing any correction day faithfully all day. I am sure the answer for me is to eat more cleanly and be more patient with hormonal increases, etc. I’m premenopausal so my hormones are unpredictable. I still have about 15-20 lbs to lose on Round 3, but I am sure I need to wait until I am truly and comfortably, stabilized. I really am SO amazed that this has worked so well. I lost 50lbs since December and just yesterday was the first time i went over the 2lb mark. Thanks for the WEALTH of information you are making available to us all!



          • Shawna Culp on June 5, 2012 at 1:57 pm

      Mendielledge – have you had any luck getting the 10 lbs off? I was stable for 2 months, then went crazy last month with lots of beer and carbs and gained about 6 lbs. Doing an egg day today and wondering what I should do to get this weight off. I want to fit back in my clothes!!

  34. Shawna Culp on January 9, 2011 at 6:59 pm

    Hi Kitty:

    In phase 3 and phase 4 we always increase our protein and stabilize our
    weight by eating clean p2 type foods at first but just more of them to get
    our calories in. We will add in some dairy slowly and then progress from
    there. If you enter p3 slowly and let your body adjust to the changes you
    will see a huge difference in the process. Let me know if you have any
    questions I can help you with.

    I have decided to do another round. My question is this, If I reach my goal in 7 to 10 days, what do I do for the remaining days. I don’t want to loose too much and I think you have to go the whole 23 or so days.

    • Shawna Culp on January 23, 2011 at 3:41 am

      You would normally need 23 days to get the last 7-10 off as it takes longer for the last 5 🙂 took me 43 days to lose my last 10.. I would not worry about losing too much weight our bodies know when to stop whether we do or not.

          No according to P&I you will need to increase calories to 800-1000 cal of extra protein and finish out a minimum of 23 days so you do not experience any rebound weight.

  39. Country Cinderella on March 20, 2011 at 3:51 am

    I did my second egg day today and my stomach feels upset and is hurting. Eggs have never affected me this way before. Oh man it’s worse than morning sickness. Don’t know if I can face another eggs after this. Does anyone else have this problem. I am down right miserable.

    • Shawna Culp on March 20, 2011 at 4:01 am

      try an antiacid or pepto.. or a calming tea..

      Shawna Culp

      • Country Cinderella on March 22, 2011 at 1:01 am

        Thank you Shawna….. I will try an antiacid if I ever do another egg day. I was down 2.8 # when I weighed in!!!!! I am so glad there is an alternative to steak days. Steak is not my thing. I’m back on track an hopefully will not indulge to that extent again. Thanks a bunch.

        • admin on November 2, 2015 at 7:05 am

          Yes Laura but you will likely need a lot of them to stay comfortable. it is normally 8-10 eggs at 70 cal each.. each egg white is only 17

    If the weight gain is due to PMS/TOM then don’t stress over it because you will lose it when it’s over. The main thing is to not cheat and stick to healthy foods.

  41. WINGSOFHOPE on March 28, 2011 at 7:14 pm

    IS THIS FOR P2 OR P3

    • Shawna Culp on March 28, 2011 at 7:19 pm

      phase 3. There are no correction days for phase 2.. only apple day intended
      for stalls.

    I tried the egg day yesterday, as I was up 3 lbs. I ate a total of 10 eggs yesterday, and I lost 3 lbs this morning! I don’t eat any red meat, so I wondered how effective the egg day would be, this was fantastic.

    • serdlc64 on February 7, 2012 at 10:27 pm

      What can you have to drink?

      • Shawna Culp on February 7, 2012 at 10:30 pm

        You can drink normal water etc and tea on egg day

        • Maryisnotcontrary on June 4, 2012 at 6:38 pm

          What about coffee? Also I have been using the sugar-free flavored powder cream… that’s a big no, huh?

          • Shawna Culp on June 4, 2012 at 6:48 pm

            Coffee is fine creamer not so much 🙂



  43. Joanne McDonald on April 15, 2011 at 4:08 pm

    Hi, Im on R1P3D19. Today was the first day that i was over my LIW by .8 lbs. Im thinking now im having to much dairy (cheese cake, yogurt, cream in my omelete & coffee, berries & cream, etc.) I was wondering if i do the egg day can i put crm in my omelete? Also how do you know when you have stabilized? my weight has been up an down the last 19 days.
    Thanks Joanne

  44. Psalm91woman on May 6, 2011 at 4:41 pm

    I am trying to find out if you can have heavy cream on an egg correction day?

    • Shawna Culp on May 6, 2011 at 11:39 pm

      Carol said in a small amount ! 🙂

  45. Amanda on June 7, 2011 at 2:15 am

    I am up lbs since my last drops so I am doing an egg day tomorrow! Sure hope it comes off!!! 

  46. Spinaltone on June 29, 2011 at 5:26 pm

    What about doing 2 egg days in a row if the gain is over 2 lbs???  I gained 6 lbs over 6 days.  I had my scale with me, however it wasn’t accurate where I was able to use it.

    • Liza on July 10, 2011 at 8:35 pm

      I tried the egg day and lost 2.4 lbs…..hopefully I can stabilize or no? I am upping my calories to 1200 as this will be my first day into Phase 3, Maintenance…does this sound alright? I am having mostly protein and veggies, but a little fat free ranch and a little peanut butter…

    • Julie on October 3, 2011 at 4:14 pm

      Shawna,
      I was looking for a post similar to Liza above.  I’m R2, P3 day four.  I vacationed this weekend and drank alcohol (no mixers) but a couple of beers and wine over the past 3 days. I also ate a piece of pizza (only 1) and a few bites of chocolate (post alcohol – bad girl, I know). As you might imagine, I’m up this a.m. (and very regretful – i was PERFECT in P3 last time!).
      So, LDW 133, today (4days P3) 137/138. I see the egg day alternative – it’s 12:15 – I can make it all day with coffee/water only – What do you find to be the BEST – Steak day or egg – and if steak – which exact version – with tomato or apple?  Help -I’m desperate to undo my mistake and get back on track!?  Thanks so much for your help!

  49. Heyjami on July 19, 2011 at 5:36 pm

    Did an egg day yesterday but didn’t think to exclude my avocado toppings I usually put on my omelets!  Didn’t hurt – I lost 1.8 lbs for this morning’s weigh in!  Now I’m just 2.8 lbs over my LDW but I’m sure a few days of P3 eating will get me where I need to be – if not I’ll do a steak/cheese or steak day.  I’m going to email you guys about the unusual heartburn I had during my egg day.  I got the detox tea last night and I’m having it today.

  51. Ruby G on September 12, 2011 at 3:32 pm

    Do you do this after you’ve done the full 23 days and enter the first 3weeks or can you do this during the 23 days?

    • Shawna Culp on September 12, 2011 at 3:38 pm

      This is for stabilization phase as a correction

  52. Lilgrmngrl24 on September 12, 2011 at 3:52 pm

    How much cheese is okay to add into a egg day? I’m up 3 pounds from my LWD. How many eggs should I eat whole and how many should be egg whites only? Do you have any more egg recipes other than the poached and deviled? Thank you so much! Also, how many days do I need to weigh the same before being considered stable? I don’t know what we would do without you guys.

    • Shawna Culp on September 12, 2011 at 3:58 pm

      Limit cheese to minimal, most do a full dozen, I always had an egg salad and fritatta along with omelet in morning.. Stabilization is 21 days consecutively I’m your 2 lb window

      • Lilgrmngrl24 on September 15, 2011 at 1:54 am

        Thank you so much for the quick reply. I did it and lost 1.2 pounds and another .2 by just eating normal the next. I’m only .6 up from my LDW. So Excited!

      • Lissa on June 2, 2016 at 9:25 pm

        I would like to do egg day but not sure what I can add to the eggs and do I cook with Pam, oil or butter?
        Thanks!

      check your inches . remember this is pounds and inches. i have been on 10 day also lost 10 pds. and7”s . i stalled twice but lost inches get out your tape.

  54. Shawna Culp on October 3, 2011 at 12:12 pm

    Egg days work great and you can eat them throughout the day without fasting

  55. Ipetrusma on October 14, 2011 at 3:38 pm

    On an egg day are you still allowed to drink 2 – 3 litres of water. 

  56. Shawna Culp on October 19, 2011 at 2:52 pm

    I would do one correction day and then eat clean. Do not do back to back correction days. I would start over unless the gain is do to hormones pms/ovulation.

    Thanks

    Correction days are hard on our bodies, so I don’t jump up and down with them. I also feel that most of the weight lost slowly comes back so it makes them frustrating. I prefer eating clean and doing other means to get off some weight. If you only want to get off a pound, there is a lot you can try. You can eat more dark green leafy vegetables. I find when I eat salad mixed with spinach, I loose some weight. I also find when I increase my protein, some weight drops off. This is hard on our system, so not recommended for more than a few days. You can do a version of the steak day by having some eggs for breakfast, a big salad for lunch with steak strips and then for dinner have a big piece of steak with spinach on the side. You should see a loss with this. I believe in doing little things to bring the weight down and being patient is better than correction days. 

  61. Jeaninemeyers on March 5, 2012 at 6:55 pm

    Can I have cottage cheese on an egg day?

    • Shawna Culp on March 5, 2012 at 6:56 pm

      I would say no due to dairy being a trigger egg day has limited things that can be added which are listed

  62. Lynnone22 on March 8, 2012 at 8:17 am

    ok I was doing my last 72 hours of the VLCD the last day for drops was on a sunday and I took 6 drops only 24 hours into it I was extremely hungry my sugar got a little low and I was delirious. I called the company that sold me the drops and the told to go straight to P3 and I had nothing at my job and the cafe was closed only the venting machinces were left so I got trail mix and couldn’t resist eating the raisins and the rest of the nuts and I got a fiber one bar with the chocolate (shame shame) and then I got home and ate almond butter and sugarless yogurt with goiji berries and roasted soy beans the next mornig I woke up .8 over my two pound window I did a steak day and then that got me about 1.4 down then I had a regular P3 day except I had cheese with my tuna salad and ranch dressing then I got home and ate chicken with veggies in a sugar free tomato sauce and I was snacking on the soy and goji berries and I previously had almonds as a snack couple hours after lunch I had 3 cups of almond milk and maybe a cup or more of greek yogurt with blue berries rasberrys and the soy goji mix woke up this morning and I was 4 pounds more now I’m doing a egg day cause the steak make me feel bloated am I doomed for my poor choices will I get back to 125?

    • Anonymous on March 8, 2012 at 1:20 pm

      Sounds like your foods are out of control for you P3 day. I think you need to take a step back and review what you need to do for P3 and not do all these correction days. they are not healthy on our system and it really doesn’t solve the root of the issue. Have you read our P3 guides? Have you looked at my videos on P3? If you step back and re think your choices, it is not too late to pick up the pieces and get back on track! Do some reading/homework and then contact us through the contact form if you’d like some more help getting back on track.

    I am going to do an egg day as I am way over my LIW 6.6 lbs.I know this might not get me back into my 2 lb over weight( 131) what other protein day could I do? Steak?
     Can I drink the apple cider vinegar/stevia? I know this

    • Shawna Culp on May 7, 2012 at 2:03 pm

      Do an egg day and the eat clean for several days that should put you back in range

    Can you do all egg whites for the egg day and get your fat from cheese with the eggs?

    • Shawna Culp on May 18, 2012 at 2:18 am

      you could yes but egg yolks are very good for you in cleansing the liver

  67. Sharris1229 on May 21, 2012 at 1:30 pm

    so you can’t do this in 500 VLCD right?

  68. SueJ on May 25, 2012 at 8:06 am

    It is wrong to say you can add mayonnaise. Mayonnaise has sugar in it and should be avoided.

    • Shawna Culp on June 4, 2012 at 9:12 pm

      You can use Safflower mayo or Duke’s etc there is mayo without sugar

  69. Laurie Harvie on September 18, 2012 at 7:39 am

    I am on phase 3 and was really bad. I had a bun with my soup yesterday and today I was up 3lbs!!! I have been so faithful as to not have any sugar, carbs or starches, but that stupid bun had stared me down. Thanks for the egg day… I really cant stand steak. I hope it will help shed these 3lbs!!

    • Shawna Culp on September 18, 2012 at 7:45 am

      Egg day, lemon water and a good nights rest and you should do very well.

  70. […] meals, we are doing great. We only went up about 1 lb. respectively. Wife is doing an “Egg Day” – [P3 correction day] – to get back down to my LDW, and UtahMan has maintained […]

  71. Ara on October 21, 2012 at 1:54 pm

    My goal is 130 I’m at 133 and can’t sem to get rid of the last pounds I did an appke day lost a pound and got stuck again ! I’m frustrated. I’d like to get down to 120 but it seems impossible at this point since I can’t get rid of 3 pounds.

  72. merpounds on October 22, 2012 at 6:54 pm

    I am doing an egg day today. If I dont lose the 2.4 lbs that I gained overnight, can I do another egg day or chicken day?? Basically…can I do TWO correction days in row?

    • Shawna Culp on October 22, 2012 at 6:56 pm

      It’s not recommended, you will be surprised egg days are very effective unless the gain is hormonal pms/ovulation which they are usually no effective or recommended during those times

  73. Shawna Culp on February 4, 2013 at 4:30 pm

    There are no correction days in p2. What caused the gain? It is best to get on perfect protocol, lemon water and detox tea and get extra sleep it will come back off

  74. Julia on February 13, 2013 at 4:51 am

    Hi, I am not sure if this site is still monitored but I have a question about stabilizing in p3. My weight went 3 lbs up one day so far and I am over 2 weeks in to stabilizing. Now I am 1.8 lower then my last weight from P2. I am wondering if I need to have 21 days that I am within the 2 lb range or if I need to restart P3 from the day that I had to do my correction day.

    Thanks!

    • Shawna Culp on February 13, 2013 at 5:40 am

      If it is your final round I would restart and spend as much time stabilizing as necessary to really set the weight.

      • Michelelynne on March 7, 2013 at 8:56 pm

        I just did my final round and am in the 2nd week of P3. I totally messed up and am up 5 pounds. I did a steak day today and plan to eat clean the rest of the week and do another correction day if needed, hopefully getting back down to where I was when I started my P3. My question is this: You mentioned spending as much time stabilizing as necessary. Are you saying that if I restart P3 that I can still get my weight to stabilize if I do it right? I was wondering if the fact that I cheated (sugar and starch) in my first two weeks of P3 will actually keep me from stabilizing.

        • Shawna Culp on March 7, 2013 at 9:11 pm

          You can start over and re stabilize. It takes approximately 21 days to get your weight to set

  75. Shawna Culp on February 19, 2013 at 9:19 am

    Can you share your exact menu yesterday? I would say you have many variables going on and likely have an inaccurate ldw because of them. Feel free to email if you want individual help. Miracleskinnydrops@gmail.com

    Can you eat chocolate delight with just coconut oil, cocoa, & stevia at all on a correction day like steak or egg day? Thanks!

  78. meg on July 28, 2013 at 8:36 am

    I did very well on P2 and lost 16 lbs. now on my 3rd week of P3 and still struggling . I have now gained back 5 lb. I have trouble with the correction days and think I would do better just not eating anything for a day. Is it necessary to have the protein or would I correct faster by totally fasting?

  79. maria on October 11, 2013 at 9:32 am

    This is so perfect for me especially since Im on a budget and steaks can get pricey..

  80. admin on December 27, 2013 at 3:42 pm

    almonds would be considered fat not a protein, so avoid nuts especially on protein days. also nuts are a trigger and can cause gains as many are sensitive to them during phase 3. when was your last period? Usually when you do not see a loss from a correction day it is hormone based gain Feel free to email me at miracleskinnydrops@gmail.com for further assistance and take a closer look

  81. Colleen on February 24, 2014 at 2:27 pm

    If I’m doing the egg day can I still have coffee and stevia or just eggs and water? What if this doesn’t bring me back down under two pounds?

    • admin on February 24, 2014 at 7:30 pm

      yes that is fine to have coffee and stevia on an egg day

    • admin on February 24, 2014 at 7:31 pm

      if you do not come back down email and will review your stats and see what is going on miracleskinnydrops@gmail.com

      • Colleen on February 24, 2014 at 7:51 pm

        Thank you. I read somewhere that I need to start my 3 week maintenance all over again. Is that true?

  82. Colleen on February 25, 2014 at 8:54 pm

    Do I have to start my three weeks over again if I went up two pounds? If so do I start when it goes back down the full two pounds?

    • admin on February 26, 2014 at 12:35 am

      Colleen it is only if you go over 2+ lbs that you need a correction day. If it is due to hormones no correction is necessary and you do not need to start over.

      • Colleen on February 26, 2014 at 1:49 pm

        I’m sorry, I did go over the two pounds. I think this might be because TOM is coming. I’m not 100% sure if it’s due to hormones.

  83. Colleen on March 1, 2014 at 1:21 pm

    • admin on July 15, 2014 at 1:18 pm

      I would not have fruit on an egg day

  85. Becky on August 4, 2014 at 4:50 am

    Hi Am loving the sound of an egg day for phase 3 correction. Can I do an egg day after a steak day I am 3.5 lbs over LIW? Starting to get nervous as I put on the weight as soon as I started Phase 3. Now it’s a week later and clean eating shows no shift. I want to get it sorted before this becomes my set weight. Thank you.

    • admin on August 4, 2014 at 11:20 am

      Egg days are fine. If you need help with your menu to get a good balance to maintain email me and I will help you miracleskinnydrops@gmail.com

  86. Joanne Brown on February 5, 2015 at 1:51 pm

    Hi Carol,

    When doing a egg correction day, it’s mentioned to eat 10 to 12 eggs, does this include the entire egg or do I only eat the whites? That is a lot of eggs to consume with the yolks? Also can I have any veggies with this correction day?

    Thanks
    Joanne

    • admin on February 6, 2015 at 8:15 am

      full whole eggs and only those items mentioned can be added

  87. Mischa on February 11, 2015 at 10:28 am

    If I do a correction day instead of a steak day, do I have to start the three weeks over again?

  88. Meg on March 24, 2015 at 9:34 am

    Hi, I don’t eat red meat and I am on day 5 of my diet. I don’t really eat chicken and seafood either. I need to lose 15 lbs I am already down 2.2 lbs and thinking of cheating. Can you please give me some options for vegetarian. I don’t mind chicken or eggs.

    Thanks a lot

    • admin on March 24, 2015 at 7:35 pm

      the vegetarian protein choices are 1 whole egg with three egg whites or 1/2 cup of cottage cheese per Pounds and Inches

      • Meg on March 25, 2015 at 12:48 am

        Can I do protein shakes???

      • kare on May 17, 2015 at 7:23 pm

        I am not sure about cottage cheese, tried one day and the next day was 0 on the scale. I mean I lost nothing.

  89. Steve on June 18, 2015 at 5:26 pm

    I’m 16 days in and down 30lbs. I get fatigued very quickly and food is grossing me out however, I crave carbs and sugars. I just had a small box of raisins and hope is does not screw me up. I have been sticking with green veggies and steak or chicken grilled only. Not a big apple fan but I know I can’t keep this up much longer. Eggs sound like they may help me but I’d never heard of that so I’m worried it would break the protocol. I probably should mention that I am doing the injections. Tips for simple snacks or alternative meals would be great. I really want to stick with this but it’s hard. Steve

    • admin on June 19, 2015 at 8:44 am

      Steve- Eggs are an alternative. Dr S recommends not losing more than 34 lbs so you may need to stop at 23 days.. it sounds like you are not getting in all your calories. I would double check your portions and feel free to send your menu for review. Adding B complex and magnesium will also help with fatigue

    If I’m up 4 lbs because I cheated, and it’s been 2 days since the scale has moved, but then go down a pound the next day, can I still do egg day to catch up? http://thepureline.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/WeightLoss_menu5.jpg

      yes and then detox for the rest of the week to get this settled down. I would recommend starting p3 stabilization time frame over and reset for 21 days.
