Thread: Grammy's January 2012 loaders

Hi everyone! On vlcd6 and am down -10.2! Whoo hoo! However am having a tough time with hunger this round. It doesn't help my son is still home from college and cooking potpies and bacon and eggs and toast! Sure does test my willpower.... Thankful I have some strong candles

You need to figure out the cause of the hunger, losin. Are you on the same brand? Are you sure it actually has hcg in it?

I was wicked growling hungry last night so lowered my dose a bit this morning and I am not hungry tonight. Chipolte's chicken did not agree with me yesterday, will not eat that again. I am so happy to not be hungry tonight and to have my dog here beside me in bed and my husband to talk to and to do the driving.
It is so much easier to keep a clean protocol from home.
I mixed b12 from adc right in with hcg according to grammys recipe. It is red.

I hope everything is fine. So glad you have support. Keep up the good work.

Zoe, new research seems to indicate it's not good to mix b12 with hcg. Where did you find that recipe? I should go back and delete it. I tried it myself a year ago on my last round and did okay but I want to make sure people don't do that just in case.

Hi, I found this thread IS 2012 so here I am(I first thought it was 2011 but I guess it continues....)

Hi everyone Happy New Year I loaded 12/30-1/1 and started VLCD1 on 1/2!!! so happy to be down 8.8 since then!!!! How is everyone this second week of the New Year?

Para - Your skin will tighten up on it's own in P3. No worries.

lessofkate - How dee do? Good to see you!

kellie - VLCDs – Very Low Calorie Diet days
This diet is very strict. Please follow it exactly to avoid gains and stalls. Do not add or use anything that is not expressly listed herein.

Breakfast: Tea or coffee in any quantity without sugar. Truvia or Stevia may be used.
Lunch: 1. 3.8 oz/100 grams of the following protien rich foods: 90-95% fat free beef, naturally lean buffalo, venison, chicken breast, white fish (tilapia, halibut, sea bass, mahi mahi, etc), lobster, scallops, crab, shrimp, tuna packed in water. All visible fat must be carefully removed before cooking, and the meat must be weighed raw. It must be boiled or grilled without additional fat. In some cases ground turkey, limited eggs and/or skim milk cottage cheese.
2. 1.5 cups of vegetables only to be chosen from the following: cabbage, spinach, chard, chicory, beet-greens, green salad, tomatoes, celery, fennel, onions, red radishes, cucumbers, asparagus, cabbage, zucchini, mushrooms. There are additional vegetables that are similarly low in sugar, but please be sure and talk to me before using them.
3. 20 calories of carbohydrate-rich cracker: Wasa rye, Ryvita Rye, and RyKrisp are best. Wheat-based cracker ill-advised, although wheat is the product that Simeone used himself.
4.1 serving of fruit: A medium apple, orange, 6 strawberries or one-half grapefruit.
Dinner : The same four choices as lunch (above.)

The juice of one lemon daily is allowed for all purposes. Salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard powder, garlic, sweet basil, parsley, thyme, majoram, etc., may be used for seasoning, but no oil, sugar, msg, butter or dressing.

Pacific brand broth can be used for cooking and flavor in lieu of butter, oils and sprays. Bouillon cubes and most canned broth has added sugar, so be careful!

Stevia and Truvia can be used for sweetners although there has been some evidence these sweetners may limit losses to some extent.

Tea, coffee, plain water, or mineral water are the only drinks allowed, but they may be taken in any quantity and at all times. Drink at least 2 liters a day.

Mixing the vegetables listed does not seem to cause any problem with weight loss.

VLCD6 for me and goin down! Yesterday was a no hunger day. Very nice. I'm hoping for the same today.
