Thread: HHCG over 40 days?

It is my preference to go longer and just do this one round. I am just coming off a very long stall in week three, but I average .5 a day (except for the stall). I'm on VLCD 29 and still have 15 lbs to go - I'd be happy with 10. I'm thinking about adding gentle exercise in these last ten days to see if that boosts the loss.

So how long do you think you can stay on the hhcg?

(I'm using 10 SL drops 3x day, no hunger, no problems - my only problem is eating enough calories!)

You should only (per Pounds and Inches Protocol) stay on NO LONGER than 43 days, OR 32lbs at a time. It is not recommended to go longer at all. You really need to take a break when you've reached either of those. Do P3 for the 3 weeks and then start another round... Also, the closer you are to your ideal/normal weight- the slower/less your losses are going to be.

So if she hasn't gotten to 32 pounds then she should be able to continue right?

I kind of have the same thing. I've lost 24.4 pounds and would like to lose 30. I'm going longer then the 40 days as well.

My problem is that I'm in the midst of a weight loss competition at work...the competition is 8 weeks long. I don't want the roller coaster of gains/losses of P3 during that. I'll take my chances but I think I'll be fine. And I have heard of people going longer then 40 days and not having any issues (as well as some new research that backs it up). But thank you for the reply!

Im gonna go about a 60day round!

im 151.0 and lost 17 on 30 days, i want to be 130 so im gonna keep trucking

I'm planning to do 3 60day rounds I would go crazy if I had to do 4 of them
I've read tons and tons on this forum and see LOTS of people doing this with success on hhcg. I even saw someone doing almost 80 days successfully by the way
I believe everyone should do their homework and do what they feel is best for them.

In R1, I did a 53 day round on hhcg to lose 32 pounds and then I stabilized perfectly in P3 and P4 exactly at LPW without any correction days. I plan on doing another long round - 51 days if I can hold on that long- this time. Like Linchick, I don't think I could do 4 rounds
Tonks- you need 6 weeks in between Round 1 and Round 2. 3 weeks on P3 (no sugar or starch) and then 3 weeks on P4. Your body needs time to adjust- detox from the fat loss, re-shape (it works!), and your skin needs to adjust.
