Hi there,

Let me see if I can answer your questions:

I'm 34 days into PNP and have a few
: questions but cannot seem to find
: answers on RR site--my ignorance
: I'm sure

: 1. I've gained 5 # in 31 days is this
: normal??I'm struggling now

Well, many people try to control their weight by skipping breakfast so
when you start adding it in before making any other adjustments, that can happen.
But the issue is not with the "program" - can you see that?

: 2.what do I drink between
: meals..???there is water but it is
: not satisfying and I'm restricting
: coffee & tea (avoid sugar)

The point is to NOT think about restricting sugar on step one but to simply master a new skill.
Why not enjoy the coffee and tea? The process here is actually really very different from what you
are used to. Are you on the Step One list? We are talking about many of these things there.

Warmly,

Kathleen

: any help thanks in advance
