I am confused on how to end P2. I am doing the 40 days so I was wondering, do I stop taking the HCG AFTER 40 days and then on the 44th day I would start P3? Or I stop taking the HCG on the 37th day and start P3 on the 41st day?
Do your last dosage on the 40th day..then do 72 hours (from last dosage) of VLCD and then start P3. With that said, you can actually stop using Hcg at any point after 23 days - so if you wanted to stop on D37 you could.
I think I am going to end early as I have a week-long business trip beginning on 7/18 which would be a LOT easier if I was in P3 and not P2. I am on day 28 today anyways and have lost 21.4 pounds so I fee like I have done a good enough job for this first time around.
You're right...traveling is MUCH easier on P3. Just remember to keep things simple - don't mix in too many new foods too quick! P3 is an Atkin'ish style phase so get plenty of good proteins and avoid ALL sugar and starches!
