Thread: Ask Grammy

Thanks Grammy! I have lost 14 lbs so far and on vlcd27. I doubt I get to 34 lbs but if I do I will stop injections. Thanks!

I wouldn't use it until you are stable then you can try it, ktsueh.

ok, thanks so much

Dear Grammy,

I started my round 2 on Jan 23(R2P1) but received new on an unexpected move. It's likely to happen end of Feb or early March. So, I have decided to shorten my R2 in order to do the moving stuffs, looking for new place, travelling etc - it will be much easier if I'm on P3. Could you please advise how short can this round be? I hate to do a short round because I was hoping to do just two rounds of hcg but

Can I stop any day after 23 days of injections? and is the P3 & P4 for short rounds are still 3 weeks/each?

Thank you!!

polaris, any time between 23 and 47 or so. I personally would do 30 if you could for maximum stability. P3 is always 3 weeks. P4 is where you add other things and eat in a normal way. You must do that a minimum of 3 weeks before another round but if you're not doing another round, it's just your lifetime eating.

Thanks you I think I can manage to do 30days before we move. So it is 30 days of hcg injections right? then 72hrs of no hcg+vlcd ? aarrggghh makes me mad as it is only 10 more days for a complete 43 days round I wish I could continue but high chance of eating out with some friends before we move out. Life is hard somtimes Guess I will do another round but not too soon. Thanks you once again!

Yes 30 days of injections. Good luck!

Hi Grammy! I've been reading your advice since starting this journey 3 months ago. I just started R2P2 on 1/29 and also had my blood work back and reviewed that i had done prior to starting R1P2 and my thyroid readings came back high. I can message you the readings if you like. Anyway, Homeopath prescribed me Armour 30mg to start the same time i started R2. I didn't take it R1 and did well (40 days -24.9 pounds). I have been reading through lots of threads on here and have seen some of your replies/posts to similar questions about starting Thyroid for the first time on HCG. I really don't want to start the thyroid because i want this to be my last round. I have no symptoms of thyroid other than the readings and ate like dirt prior to starting this journey. I have never felt better and stabilized well in P3/P4 maintaining within 2 pounds of LIW except a FFF day for christmas excesses and it came right back off. I've never had a problem losing weight when i commit. I want to get a 2nd blood panel done after this round and then see those readings before I give in & and say OK I must really have a thyroid issue here. I also started progesterone/testerone/Vitamin D (feel like awful today from that!). Do you think I am crazy for wanting to wait and get another blood panel done after R2 to see if the HCG or food diet clears the numbers?

Thx! Whenever I have a question I search you for an answer and its always guided me in my decisions

Quite honestly I've never seen hcg clear a thyroid problem. You could wait but if your thyroid really is off, it may affect how well you stabilize.
