Thread: Newcomer Information- Top Twenty Tips for what to do while waiting to start Hcg

Hi mgsondance,

I have a question...I do injections at a clinic, but they are closed on the weekends? Could I do drops on the weekends and the injections during the week?

Thanks,

Can I take B liquid vitamins or pill and calcium/magnesium/zinc, I have studied it seems vitamins are okay? The only other one I have to take daily besides vitamin D is I bought b12 spray, it seems to have no sugar or anything...I need that for energy.


For shampoo, I have dry scalp and normally pour in tons of jojoba oil (so I can't do that) and use squalane oil on my face and dry parts.. I handmake my yogurt soap, so I'm wondering if I have to switch all that. I already wear organic makeup, so I'll switch to powder/mineral makeup without oil and my shampoo/conditioner I have is Jason Apricot Organics, worried my scalp will flake like heck for the month, though. But I can go back to the oils on skin, etc at my phase 2 right? I am doing a 40 day one... Hoping for 15-34 lb loss. So realistically 15-25 lbs in the 40 days... I have high hopes, because I want to!

p.s. I use Giovanni (organic) hairspray, but I could skip it I suppose for 3-4 weeks or so.

I take vitamin D in the capsuls and haven't had any problems with them. They do sell them in a non-oil white pill form if you are concerned about the oil. I know Nature Made sells both forms.

I have had wonderful results and losses and never changed shampoo's or lotions or anything. I think it's a personal preference. I would try doing it without changing first- and if you aren't noticing losses or slow losses etc... try cutting them out for a few days and see if that helps- then you know to switch. I still use my mineral makeup and eye liners/mascara/shadows etc....

You can lose 15-34lbs.. however it is recommended you either stop the round at 43 days OR 32lb of weight loss- whichever comes first. If you are only 15-34 away from goal weight- your losses will most likely be much slower- as we tend to slow down the closer we are to goal weight. Average for woman can be .5lbs a day- It's great to have goals- just don't get depressed and upset if your losses aren't as high as you had hoped. I know it's easy to read stories of 2lb a day losses and then freak out when you don't lose that much.

Best of luck!
