How I lost 10 pounds in P4 with all the details hope this help.
Yes, I'm in P4, day 70. So here's what I did and it was a few weeks ago.
On a Sunday I did a SD
Morning: pot of coffee with half and half
Snack: green tea
Lunch: more coffee
Dinner: I followed the P3 way to do a SD, fried it in butter and ate it with an apple, always lost more with an apple. And as far as the amount, as much as I could eat, any where from 16-18 oz. of meat.
Next morning: lost 4.6
then four days later I did what I call a Tuna day, here are the details from a handout I have..
"TO AVOID A STEAK DAY: This method is not meant to take the place of a steak day. It is only intended to drop some weight when you are getting close to a required Steak Day.
If you see a Steak Day drawing near, you can do the following, which will usually bring your weight down a pound or so the next day. 1) Drink lots of water that day; 2) Don’t eat until lunch; 3) Have a whole can of tuna (water packed), or chicken with mayo on either lettuce or celery for lunch; 4) Have a big portion of protein for dinner with a small salad and 0-1 carbohydrate dressing (ex. Ranch); 5) If you are extremely hungry, you could also have 2 eggs for breakfast."
Note: I ate or drank something all day and it still worked.
Morning: pot of coffee and half and half
snack: hard boiled egg
snack: more coffee
Lunch: 6 oz can of tuna 1/4 cup of mayo and a cup full of celery
Dinner: I BBQ my steak 18 oz. this time and had it with a small salad with some Ranch.
Next morning I lost 1.6
I did this cycle two times where I did a SD on a Sunday, four days later did the Tuna and so on and so fourth. And I did NOT exercise at all.
Hope this helps.

Pre-load weight 65.2kg
VLCD1: 67.4kg
VLCD7: 62.2kg
VLCD14: 60kg
VLCD21/LDW: 58.7kg
R2 Pre-load weight 61.2kg
VLCD4: 60.3kg
VLCD6: 59.6kg
VLCD10: 59kg
So you safely got through P3 and stabilized first? Just curious. I'm about 5 lbs away from my goal and hoped to lose it without doing another round!
yes I was stable in P3 entire time, I never did a SD, was never over or under 1.0 of LDW and I didn't do this experiment until just a month or so ago.Originally Posted by thomp3sk

If you do one steak day and one " Tuna or Chicken" and eat Beef for dinner, you lose 5lbs. And space the days apart like I did.

This is great! The handout info is a little confusing....
- What is 0-1 carb dressing?
- Do a steak day on Sunday; then four days later, a different kind of protein day, right?
- Was the "Note" portion just further explanation?

So the second protein day (four days later), you eat tuna or chicken for lunch, & then beef for dinner, correct?

Question for you: were you ever a low carber before doing HCG?
Started my HCG journey on March 16, 2011

Just for the record, no part of this journey is for the weak.
Ranch dressing is low carb.
on the fourth day after a SD I did the TO AVOID A SD, it is a high protein day I just do better when someone tells me what to eat and how much. Not sure what the rest is about the note, sorry, usually typing with a little one on my lap or at my feet, I'm a mom of four under seven years old. Here's the link to the hand out: The TO AVOID A SD is on the 3rd page, the 2nd paragraph down on the left hand side, hope this helps. http://hcgvictoria.files.wordpress.c...ence_guide.pdf I know it's P3 but it works for me because I eat P3 in P4, I do not eat sugar or starch.

correct, Some refer to the TO AVOID A SD as a High protein day but I just do better with black and white directions, my life is hectic and hand outs, simple directions and list of foods helps me. That's why I did so well on hcg, I'm a rules follower, but I did cheat a few days, only human. I pretty strict with my diet just because I struggled with my weight all my life. This is new to me and it's all thanks to HCG.
