Great idea!

I'm stuck on a 10 day course of antibiotic (doxycyline) which is pretty broad spectrum. Any suggestions on what I can do while in P2 to prevent the yeast infection that I'm likely to see after a week?

I'm already take a digestive enzyme that includes some probiotics.

If you have access to Standard Process products the get a bottle of pro synbiotic (7080) and start taking it after your antibiotics course is finished if not get the best probiotic you can find. take at least 200 billion cfu daily for 10 days

i just added this to my initial posting, but please acknowledge when you've received your answer- by either posting, or hitting the "thanks" button to the posting that answered your question. that way i'll know i can delete it.

you can take regular pharm-grade hcg orally.

There are RX oral drops. Most of them are ones you have to mix up yourself. You can order a kit from www.gphcg.com. Doyle can get it out quickly.

cornhusker's (i hate), Curel Continuous Comfort. or anything that says it's oil-free. For your face, try the neutragena or st. ives moisturizers- i like both of those.

Your dr is an idiot.

LOL, and then LOL again, colleen! i was reading his post and i could see your picture down below, just had to sneak a peak at what your comment was going to be.... gosh, i needed that.

you're always so kind and diplomatic- looks like that doc sent you over the edge!

mike- she's correct. If you eat anything other than the vlcd for 72 hrs after you go off the hcg (or 48 hrs if it's hhcg) you'll gain VERY quickly. so stop it early enough that you can be on P3 for your vacation. and you will need to avoid sugar and starch or you'll still gain quickly. it drives colleen and i nuts when docs charge big bucks for hcg and then obviously don't know a twit about the protocol. when you get back you can resume the hcg and the vlcd on the same day- but if you're hungry just eat normally (P3) for an extra day and then switch to the vlcd.

an "acceptable cheat" for thanksgiving would be mashed up cauliflower, steamed low-carb veggies such as brocolli, zucchini or green beans, and some plain turkey breast. no fat, no starch.

guys lose easily even when they do cheat, but we do not know how much this might affect your stabilization later on. you're probably pretty safe doing an interruption since you've gone so long already.

another option would be to just end your round before you go, stay on P3 for 3 wks, P4 for 3 wks, then do another round.

i know there are docs out there who think people are more likely to continue to lose weight if they don't take breaks. that once they start eating they don't want to come back for another round, and that affects their "sales". so as the saying goes, they have a horse in the race... We don't.
