Lost 15 lbs quickly, then stalled for last 4 weeks. Disappointing.

However, got moving down again today. Change is almost complete elimination of artificial sweetener. Don’t know why, but AS has aways been a problem for me. And it doesn’t seem to matter what kind of AS.

Hi Dr. Eades!!

i have started your new 6 week cure and i love it!! i want to start my dad also on it but i first want to show him results, and i have what to show, in 2 days!! i have lost 5 lbs!!! i feel great, energized and never hungry!!! i have two quick questions for you if you dont mind.
1. i found coconut milk that has 1 carb and 50 calories per cup. i use one cup per shake without water is it fine?
2. i melt 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil and add it in, is it fine?

i realize the coconut really gives me energy, makes me feel good, puts a glow on my skin and helps me lose weight.
i would really appreciate an answer. thank you so much and may g-d bless you for all you do!

Having type 1 diabetes myself, I would like to comment to the question about type 1 (Wendy P). I find that I also do need extra insulin for protein shakes, even though I would much less insulin for the same amount of protein from other sources, like chicken, meat, and eggs. I call the shakes “fast acting proteins”. For me it turns out to be one unit for each 10 grams of protein from the shake (interesting, that;s the same ratio I use for carbs).

Nearly all the extracts and flavourings I’ve seen are alcohol based. Will the small amount used in a shake make any difference in weeks 1 and 2?

Tjhe only leucine I found was Thermo Leucine which containNiacinamide 3.33 mg, L-Leucine 500mg, Cafeine 30mg, capsicum 5.5 mg and Bioperine 0.83mg
The bottle say that you should take about 6 capsules per day. In your shake it saying to add 2500mg which mean 5 capsules per shake. It this Leucine ok and should I add 5 capsules per shake 3 time per day? Need to know before I start. Thank you

For those who have experienced “gurgling and loosened stools” with the first two weeks on 6WC – check your protein powder for magnesium content. Mine (Next Protein Designer Whey) has 110 mg Magnesium PER SCOOP. My gut cannot deal with 990 mg. Magnesium per day – think Milk of Magnesia X 3. OUCH!

Slightly off topic. Dr. Mike, I have a (MRI verified, hereditary) orange-sized lipoma on my abdominal wall.
Is it possible that this regimen will reduce the size of this lipoma? My insurance will only pay for removal if it is impinging on a nerve.

Thanks for this information on the Middle Aged Middle.

Dear Drs Eades,

I am from South Africa. I got your ’6 Week Cure..’ book finally from the USA but found out that we don’t have Enova oil or anybody with knowledge about ‘DAG OIL’ anywhere in the country. I contacted enovaoil.com and they basically told me that they do not have any interest in shipping their product to other countries. Is there any advice that you can give me that will allow me to follow the program and get the same results please.
