I'm having the exact opposite problem... I'm not hungry! It's hard for me to eat..
Folks:
I see several of you repeadedly saying you are hungry. I'm really concerned your dose is off. Please, please go to the urgent questions and have one of the vets answer and help you get your dosage right if you are not being overseen by a doctor. Those of us on this thread are not nearly as knowledgable and the vets do not view every thread.
Be sure to let them know exactly what you are taking, how much and when.
YOU SHOULD NOT BE HUNGRY; not even the slightest. This means even in the am when you wake up, in the middle of the day, before you eat, anything. Your dosage is off if you are---- and sometimes it could be too high!
I've included the link below. Please go there now so you can get this right for you and your health. I can't plead with you enough!!!

Please post QUESTIONS here- we will try to answer asap!
(edited by mgsondance: hunger can vary from person to person; most people will experience at least slight hunger before mealtimes. but it should be minimal enough that you can follow the protocol without much effort. if your hunger is significant, we need to look at your dose- but i would also recommend cutting out the melba toast. Plus if you're eating two apples a day, eat only one and make your 2nd fruit one with lower sugar (grapefruit or strawberries).

I have had that problem too! It is like to almost have to force yourself to eat!
It is not recommended to skip meals, but these us a recommend order to ‘drop’ portions of your HCG diet “meals”.
First, drop your “carbs”. Those are not necessary at all and are purely a psychological treat.
Next, drop your fruits.
You should at least try to eat you veggies and protein, you can "drop" you veggies if you need to.
NEVER recommend skipping your protein servings! You need that protein and if you do not eat it, you may slow, stall, or gain.
I am speaking from past experience and I hope this helps!![]()
Are you taking drops, injections, pellets? If so which one?

Here I am starting over...my loss totally...especially since I could have been at my goal weight. But what can I say, I love to eat.

Hello everyone,
I am a newbie, I started 2 day load on 4-28-11 and yes I am hungry. I am taking the drops 15 drops 3x per day, please help if you can.![]()
I am taking the drops and I am hungry, nauseous, light headed and tired. I take about 10 drops in the am 10 mid day, 10 430 and probably more before dinner. hcg 2000 is the one I am taking now.
I am having the problem, light headed, tired, hungry (really hungry--stomach growling hungry). I use the cream.
I am hungry also, I use the injections, SQ 175 U. I've only been injecting for 7 days hoping the hunger will go away.
This is my 5th VLCD and I too have been getting hungry and feeling "out of sorts" at some times of the day. After reading some posts, I realize I am getting hungry right after using the drops. I feel good in the a.m. and not hungry (I'm usually a breakfast person) I am fine and not always hungry but feeling good when it is time to eat and I do eat as program specifies. I take 12 drops 30 min before I eat.
I really paid attention last night and right after I took the drops, I was almost instantly hungry and started to feel out of sorts. Is my dose too much? I normally take the drops 1st thing in the a.m. then have my coffee and sometimes just a piece of melba so I can take my vitamin. Then the other 2 doses 30 min before lunch and dinner.
Thanks for any input.
