Had a nut problem which threw me off track for a couple days. 1 handful does not mean that 3 is ok! Took me a couple days to lose the pound I gained plus a little more. I buy Kona coffee from Trader Joes as a treat and a substitute for Starbucks. Kona is much better and with a little soy milk and flavored Stevia its HCG legal and tastes amazing.
