these are so great especially for me now on round 4 and struggling, even if I eat a few I still do better then if I eat sugar and other bad things!!!

I cannot believe that I made chocolate candy right now. It is so good! And it is allowed???? I’m about to find out tomorrow. I just made it now, and I’m gonna see what happens tomorrow. I ate two strawberries dipped in the chocolate plus another small cluster with the nuts. Probably should have kept them separate, in case there is a negative reslt, I would know which combination did it. but still, wow! I can’t believe this is happening. I thought I was going to die without my chocolate!

As with most non list foods – should try 1-2 TBSP and see what the scales say the following day. Depends how you react to them. Current feedback – close to 90% do well with EVCO, close to 70% do alright with the mac nuts.

I had some macadamian nuts and my ketosis went up from moderate to large however the next morning I weighed myself and gained about 1lb. My abs are flatter did anyone experience this? Did anyone experience a big drop of weight after the initial gain from the nuts?

WHAM ! Ron.
I usually just work the choc in when the EVCO is the correct consistency. You could warm the oil & fold the choc & sweetener in, then refrigerate until it reaches the thickness you’re looking for to dip with, for a smoother mix.
If you’re doing gris or b. sticks – could also try dipping those for choc pretzel type treat.
To liquify I usually sit near a heat source, too high a heat supposedly starts to break down the “good stuff” within the EVCO.

HOLY Mac Nuts Batman! These things are awesome. Gotta admit, while making them, wasn’t too sure but they taste perfect on the strawberries and in a cluster with macs.
So, to add data, I lost a whopping 3.2 pounds after eating both strawberries and clustes. Wife loved em and so did my kids (and that’s friggin’ hard to find).
Used stevia, about 7 packets. Melted the coco oil into the powder so it didn’t quite hit the consistency of icing. Do you liquify the oil first? Microwave?

Hi Terry. Sweet while it lasted though, wasn’t it ?? lol
After stabilization – try adding unsweetened coconut flakes – and possibly almonds… low carb Mounds/Almond Joy. Down right amazing how good something with so little calories can taste.

Well, after having 2 of these a day for the last few days, my ketones were up, but it seemed my weight loss went down a bit, so I’m going to stop these for now and make them for snack for P3. That way I can eat more than 2 a day and not worry too much about it.

OMG! Those were DEEELUSHOUS!!! We each had one Turtle Ketone Cluster last night, and by the next morning I had lost 2 pounds! And my husband lost 3 pounds! And our ketones were up today big time! So you know we’ll be eatin these little puppies every day! Thanks Tim for a great and tasty way to get your MCTs!

Aw, thanks, Tim. I gotta tell ya, you are one creative guy! I wish I had seen this video sooner. Hubby & I are on P2 and the 2nd day of our VLCD and man, are we hungry (always are until the 3-4th day). Those Turtle Clusters are makin our mouths water! I’m gonna go make them now and report back, I got all the ingredients, including the macs!

Ok I made the chocolate mac nut clusters and LOVED them. I had not had a lost in 3 days (21 vldc) and was starving, I made these thinking that if they didn’t work at least they wouldn’t be that big of a cheat. I ate 2 mid day and wasn’t hungry so I skipped dinner. I didn’t go to sleep until 1 am tho and by then was starving!! I decided to eat one more so I could get some sleep. (ketone levels were low so I thought this may help) This morning I weighed in this morning with a 2 pound loss

Most people should do okay with it on phase 2 … can give a batch a try, check your loss & ketones, if you tolerate it alright go for it.
Yeah, if they dress as outdated as they think – I’m seeing bobby socks & poodle skirts.
Bringing the protocol into the 21st century… one covert at a time. lol

This is for Phase 3? Or ALSO 2?
I’m starting day 12 of vlcd and have been bitching about the lack of oils since day 1. My gut says I’d do well or better with some. I’m only doing some strawberries for my fruit, no “melba”. I’m reading Moderate (80) on my sticks.
I mentioned fats/oil on hcgdieters yahoo group and (excuse the crudeness) got ripped a new one. I need to find a more forward-thinking group that accepts new research other than from 55 years ago!

Ketosis was higher this morning, and dropped 0.8 pounds over the day prior. I had gained 0.2 pounds the day earlier, so hopefully this will help. I’m starting a new batch of HCG Thursday, and I’ve increased my injection to 200IU and considering the HCG has weakened since mixing I’m hoping that the strength will be back around the 175IU mark. Once I start the new batch I’ll go back to 175IU. I LOVE the dark chocolate taste too!!

Hi Terry. Most people do really well with it, guess we’ll see what YT’ers think..
If you’re still red lining the ketostix – don’t know how you’d tell other than the scales.. If dipping strawberries just add on the chocolate. Shouldn’t have to count towards calories as the ketogenic effect should cancel them out.
Actually – as weird as it might sound, having the chocolate for breakfast should give you the most bang for the buck, have you burning hot all day long.

Wow – those clusters look GOOD.. I take it that 2 a day (even on P2) has helped in ketosis and not adversely affected weight loss? If thats the case, then SIGN ME UP…
