Hi Stephanie,
I am not an SP expert, as I have only just switched to SPII from Barry Groves' (I lost weight fine, but I need to deal with a few other issues now, such as caffeine, a mild beer problem and stress-management if I want to keep the weight off).
I am just in the middle of re-reading it, doing all the underlining stuff, to make the message stick in, and the one thing that she repeats is that if you have a damaged metabolism, you may gain before you lose.
You say you have "gained
almost 2lbs" - that is not exactly a lot!!! I lose 2lbs overnight sometimes!!! I really think you don't have anything to worry about. If you do actually feel better for following this programme, I would stick with it a bit longer.
However, in SPII, one of the main things she recommends is giving up caffeine, so, to be fair to Dr S, you haven't
actually been following her programme to the letter, which is why you might not be experiencing the success you hoped for.
Is caffeine something you can't imagine giving up right now???
