I've had weeks that I even gained weight because I was retaining water like crazy. Are you drinking and eating enough? I still like that I'm not craving stuff or at least have more control over my cravings when I am on Plexus. I'm going to stick to it another month at least. My weight loss has been slow but steady. It has worked for me better than anything else I've tried in a long time. My folks come back in a week so I don't know if that will affect things as I tend to have more regular meals when they are around. Time will tell.  

Do the spit test, if you don't know what that is let me know and I will explain it to you. Candida can make it hard to loose weight on anything. It is a mean bugger but I am going to beat it. I may just try to maintain through the holidays and then at the start of the year do a Candida diet and really concentrat on getting my biotics in check. 

What is the spit test and how does it work? Thanks.

If you are candida is not overgrown your spit will sit on the top or dissolve clear. If it sinks quickly your candida is very high. I have to go to bed but will write more tonight. Candida is the bacteria flora in your gut that is not good, it craves sugar as well. So while you are getting rid of the candida your body will scream for sugar as the candida yeast starts to die off. The good bacteria in the gut is out of balance. So probiotics (Good Bacteria) needs to be about 80% with normal bad bacteria 20%. The American diet with so many antibiotics in our foods, and meat, etc, along with antibiotics and medications, and processed food we are set up to have candida overgrowth. Anyway, I got to go to bed.
