We had a family dentist appointment today, and since I have mitral valve prolapse I had to take 2000 mg of amoxicillin before the appointment.

I read in the quick start guide that it's ok to take antibiotics while on MF, but it might slow down weight loss. Will those 4 pills just once today affect my weight loss for the week? Or do they mean long-term antibiotic use, like usually 10 days or so?

you know funny thing is I was on a strong antibiotic and Prednisone for over 10 days and fretted all week thinking I would not lose or God forbid gain and guess what....I lost 7lbs that week which is my highest week not counting my first week and that was at about 4 weeks on program so hang in there

Hi there,
I don't think that one time mega dose is going to cause you any problem. Just drink lots of water and follow program closely. You'll do great.

Thanks guys. I was worried for a minute there.

I am on antibiotics almost continuously and on steroids (yes I had to restart them) and it has not seemed to matter. MF still works where no other diet has.
